I wanted to recognize our November race results, followed by the 2015 Year in Pictures!
Shelley Bache: Shelley finished her first marathon at the Philadelphia Marathon. She had a great race which gives her the confidence going into 2016 as she trains for Ironman Maryland!
Jose Hernandez and Shayne Lewis both competed in the “Something Wicked at Cathedral Pines” 6-hour Mtn. bike race (see picture below)! Shayne crashed and sliced open is leg on his first loop. He had to go to the hospital where he got 13 stiches and 13 staples! He recovered nicely, however and is back ready to rock! Shayne is training for Ironman Maryland this year! Jose did great, finishing 7 laps (70 Miles!!).
Jose also competed in the Prospect Park Duathlon where he finished first in his age group as well as the first overall in the fat tire Division!
Jackie Lott flew to California to race the “Avengers Weekend”, a 10K Saturday followed by a half marathon Sunday! She did fantastic in both! Season best in the 10K, followed by strong half marathon! Then she jumped into the Philadelphia Half marathon the next weekend and bested her half marathon time from the Avengers weekend! Jackie is now taking a much needed and deserved recovery period of lighter workouts and reduced running!
Frank Fiorello continued his streak in Florida where he always places in his division! This is him in the Clermont Sprint Triathlon!
**We have been so fortunate with this mild weather which has enabled us to get in great group workouts like this trail run that even Salty joined in on!
