International Race Recap! Basel Switzerland 10K!
NACHO has gone international!! Vanessa G. represented NACHO in the Basel Run to the Beat 10K in beautiful Basel Switzerland on Sept 22nd. She covered the hilly course in a strong 59:55, proudly wearing the orange and white!
Race Recaps: Sept 21-22nd
21 Sept: Vert Big Bad Wolf 5M, Ipswitch MA
NACHO was a little disorganized putting a team together for this one, but we still had some great individual performances by our runners. Adam J. and Lauren C. ran on a team called "Critters", and their times of 31:26 (6:18/mile) and 38:44 (7:44/mile) contributed to a team WIN! Congrats guys! Derek B. tried to wrangle the NACHOs together to form a team at the last minute and was unsuccessful, but was very successful along the course - running a competitive 41:24 (8:17/mile). Kristen N. and Brad C. were also able to join in on the fun, and covered the challenging trail course in 53:17 (10:40/mile) and 1:16:22 (15:17/mile). Great job everyone - I'm sure the post-race beers were wonderful!
22 Sept: Tavern to Tavern 5K, Somerville-Cambridge MA
Run from 1 bar to another? Sounds like something NACHO can handle! Meg B. was the lone NACHO to represent the group (what happened there?), but did so in style - setting a PR in 26:02 (8:22/mile). Great job Meg!!!
22 Sept: Honan 5K, Boston MA
Tim L. did it - he broke that elusive 20 minute mark for the 5K!!! Congrats Tim; he was flying, covering the 3.1 miles in 19:57! All of that hard work is paying off!!

Race(s) Recap: Late August/Early September
Apologies for not having updated race recaps...been a little crazy at NACHO headquarters!
17 August: Jabberwocky 5K
Congrats to Kate B. who rocked the Jabberwocky 5K on a perfect 70 degree day in late August. She finished 3rd in her age group with a time of 25:11 (8:07 pace!). Kate has been getting faster and faster all season - well done Kate!
7 September: Run to the Rock Half Marathon: Plymouth MA
Congrats to Tim L. who ran a 1:46 with limited training (living and drinking his way through Europe this summer!) over a very hilly course! Well done Tim, way to grind it out!
13-14 September: Reach the Beach Relay NH
Derek and 11 close (mostly Scottish) friends ran Reach the Beach NH, from Cannon mountain to Hampton Beach via some serious hills in just over 27 hours from Friday afternoon to Saturday afternoon. His first leg went downhill fast, literally. 3 miles and a 600 foot descent. What goes down must go back up, and leg 2 started with a 300 foot ascent in 0.75 of a mile. The third leg was a nice easy 5.5 miler, with gently rolling hills. All in all a fabulous weekend filled with running, beer, and hilarious jokes (some would say only hilarious because we were delirious!). Already looking forward to next year!

15 September: Surftown Half Marathon, Misquamicut RI
Congrats to Jen and Ray who ran a 1:43 and 1:45 (respectively) in the Surftown Half Marathon in scenic southern Rhode Island. Jen felt great with limited training, and Ray surprised everyone with his strong showing after 3 hours of sleep and a pre-race fuel strategy of 12 hours of continuous drinking the day before. A true NACHO warrior!
15 September: Harvest Wine Run 3.5M, Newport RI
Kristen N. traveled to RI to enjoy a gorgeous trail run and sample some great wines! Here's her take on the event; "The Harvest Wine Run at Newport Vineyard was fun this weekend. It was a 3.5 mile trail run through the vineyard (very pretty), followed by a wine tasting and BBQ dinner. Wine was good; the lines for the tasting were long but moved quickly and thinned out quickly once the food was available. I would do it again." Congrats Kristen! Sounds like a great event!
