Saturday Aug 10th: Zooma Half Marathon, Chicago IL

Kyndal took to the skies and traveled to Chicago to race in this "disorganized" event with a couple of friends...you wouldn't know it by her time, finishing 33rd out of 652 - 1:45:42, and setting a PR by about 8 minutes from her last half marathon in September of 2012!

Saturday Aug 10th: Chilmark 10K, Chilmark MA

This was Kate's 5th consecutive 5K Chilmark Road Race which took place in Chilmark, MA on Martha's Vineyard.  It is a hilly course that draws runners back year after year to race.  Kate tackled the hills with an 8:30 pace finishing in 26.22. Kate's mom, Cammie, and sister, Carrie, also jogged the entire 5k, finishing in 40.10.  This was the first race that both of them have ever run!  Congrats Bryant family!

Happy August Racing NACHOs!!

Saturday Aug 3rd: Pan Mass Challenge, Wellesley-Bourne MA

Kyndal rode in the Pan-Mass Challenge, 84 miles from Wellesley/Babson College to Bourne / Mass Maritime. Skies were overcast and we had a few drops of rain during the ride, but this turned out to be perfect for keeping her cool - couldn't have asked for a better day. The ride supports Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund, and all together was an amazing experience - she can't wait to do it again next year!

Kyndal and her friend Tom!

Sunday Aug 4th: Niantic Bay Sprint Triathlon, Niantic CT

Congrats to Patty, Jen and Ray who swam, biked and ran to a 5th place finish in the Niantic Sprint Triathlon this past weekend!  Patty had her fastest 0.5 mile swim ever in 16:25; Ray completed his first bike event and covered the 12 mile bike in 37:57; and Jen flew over the 5K course in 21:19!  Great job team, and welcome to NACHO Patty!

Sunday Aug 4th: Run 4 Kerri 4 Miler, Matunuck RI

Anne and Brian were happy to attend the Run 4 Kerri, a great little race in Southern RI that attracts some top notch runners (an Olympian won this year!).  Brian regretted his seafood dinner from the night before, and blamed the lobster reduction on his time of 27:28 (6:53/mile).  Anne was really excited to still be running (at 28 weeks pregnant) and covered the distance in 42:12 (10:33/mile).  Both had a great time and were happy to support such a great event!

Race(s) Recap: July 26th-28th

Friday July 26th: Blessing of the Fleet 10 Miler, Narragansett RI

It was a meeting of the NACHO chapters as Mary and Patrick made the 6 hour trek north to race with Brian for the premier RI summer race, the Blessing of the Fleet.  Mary and Patrick were ready and pumped to race the challenging course for the first time, and Brian, in the spirit of Patrick's training philosophy, realized that "he could run 5 miles so he could most definitely run 10"...and was a late entry.  Anne was an enthusiastic cheerleader and photographer and captured some NACHO moments before, during and after the race.  More photos can be found here.

Sunday July 28th: Lowell Sprint Triathlon, Lowell MA

Big congrats to Jon who finished 2nd in his division for the Swim 0.25 Mile, Bike 11 Miles, Run 3 Miles event!  Rocking an orange tri outfit (love it!), Jon was all smiles as he completed the course in 1:01.59.  That breaks down to the swim in 7:36, the bike in 30:33 and the run in 21:20!  Congrats Jon, we're proud of you!

Race(s) Results: July 21st

Mass Ave Mile - Cambridge, MA

You read that right - just 1 mile!  This neat race in Cambridge tests your speed with an all-out sprint, and we found out that Kate B is damn fast!  She covered the distance in a blazing 6:55, not bad for a distance runner!  We're proud of you Kate, you're having a great summer racing season!

Hockomock Y Sprint Triathlon - Wrentham, MA

A big congrats to Liz B. who represented NACHO in 3 sports (!!) finishing 2nd (!!) in her age group at the Hockomock Sprint Tri.  She swam 0.25 miles, biked 9 miles and ran 3.1 miles in a wicked fast 1:05.12!  You rock Liz!

Save the Bay Swim - Jamestown, RI

This year, the Save the Bay swim had a new course and a different theme.  The "sequester swim" did not traverse the Bay from Newport to Jamestown due to government budget cuts, so the 300 swimmers covered the same distance (1.7 miles) in a clockwise triangle.  NACHO swimmers Joe, Casey, Sarah, Brian and Tommy struggled with sighting and strong currents, but all exited the water at the end - we call that a successful swim!

Casey was the first NACHO out of the water, with a fast 53:05.  Sarah was right behind him, finishing in 54:01.  Brian had a great day, finishing under 1 hour for the 1st time and coming in at 57:39!  Joe struggled with the current a bit, but managed a strong 1:08.00.  

The team had a great support crew, and everyone enjoyed the ice cream and Dels lemonade at the finish line!  More photos of the weekend can be found here!

Race(s) Recap - July 18th

Marathon Sports 5M - Weston, MA

Congrats to Kate for her 45:49 finish in the hot and hilly Marathon Sports 5 miler!!

Jim Kane 5K - South Boston, MA

A hot night and even hotter performances by Team NACHO!  Led by Adam (for a second race in a row!) NACHO placed 3rd behind BAA and SRR in a very competitive team field of 28 teams in the 25th Annual Jim Kane Sugarbowl race.  Temps were well into the 90s and humidity was almost 100% as this crew raced along the waterfront in South Boston.  Katy raced THROUGH the finish line and jumped immediately in the bay!  The hashtag #machonacho was born with the addition of some Yasso sunglasses and mega muscles, and Matt was the biggest winner of them all, walking away with free bagels for a YEAR from Panera!  He found the golden ticket!  Photos of the night can be found here.

Race(s) Recap: July 11th-14th

Another week, another set of results from the NACHOs!

Thursday July 11th: RACE 5K #3, Cambridge MA

We had another group of NACHOs compete in the Thursday summer series races.  There are two options for racing the 5K distance; the co-ed race and the women's only race.  Serena raced with the ladies and finished on the podium; finishing 3rd in 22:47!  CONGRATS!  Also running in the women's race we had Gretchen, who finished 14th in 26:18!  Strong showing ladies! In the co-ed race, we had Adam finishing 4th (17:39), and Kevin 161st (29:56)!

Saturday July 13th: RI Aquatic Hall of Fame 1.2M Swim, Portsmouth RI

In the largest NACHO swim event EVER, we had FIVE NACHOs compete in smooth waters off of the coast of RI.  Sarah was the first NACHO out of the water in 32:27, a fantastic showing for her first NACHO event!  Coming in after her was Casey in 35:09, cruising after his warm up swim last weekend in the Narrow River.  A very happy birthday to Kim who finished 3rd in her division, finishing in 37:07!  Joe had another strong outing, finishing the Save the Bay warmup in 39 flat.  And rounding out the group was Brian in 40:03, saving his energy for next week's big event!

Sunday July 14th: VERT 2.4M Trail Race, Stoneham MA

NACHO for the win!!  NACHO for the win!!  NACHO placed 1st out of 41 competitive teams in the 2nd annual VERT Trail Race!  A huge group of runners for this incredibly fun event, with a lot of first time NACHOs in the mix!  Some photos of the epic post race celebration can be seen here!

Race(s) Recap: June 29th - July 4th

Saturday June 29th: Hyde Park Blast 4M, Cincinnati OH

Kyndal took the NACHO pride to the homeland, and she let us know how she ran with an email update;

"I'm back in KY for the week, but still trying to run. The fam did a little 4 miler this morning. I was supposed to be doing a 13 mile training run today, for my half marathon in August, so I ended up running over to the race. I thought I could find a perfect 9 mile route, but it turned out to be 10.5, oh well. Nevertheless, ran with one of my sisters friends, a junior in high school, and we finished the race in 32:18. It was a lot of fun!"

Great job!  Way to run hard on the road!

Sunday June 30th: City Sports "Back in the Day" 10K, Boston MA

Kate, you were "totally rad" rocking the 80s getup for the "Back in the Day" 10K!  In the HOT weather, Kate did great, finishing the course in 58:56!

 

Thursday July 4th: Camires 4M, Wakefield RI

Kudos to Brian for braving the heat and sneaking in a holiday speed workout.  Facing some incredibly humid conditions, he finished the course in 27:55, sneaking under a 7 min mile!  

Thursday July 4th: Friends on the 4th 5K, Winthrop ME

Mary and Patrick vacationed in Maine and found a way to race while enjoying their time away from PA!  Patrick cruised to a 7th place AG finish in 21:52, with Mary ALSO finishing 7th in HER age group in 24:50!  Well done!  Patrick's Dad Raymond also ran, finishing in 33:10!  Great job Boggs family!!!
