Andre Arseneau ran the Johnny Miles 5k, finishing this distance in the time of 22:19.
Johnny Miles was a local boy from Sydney Mines who twice won the Boston Marathon in the 1920s. I designed and wore a replica of the singlet he wore in his 1926 victory. The course was challenging with 2 lengthy uphill sections and the conditions were ideal. I had a good race about 30 seconds over last month’s PR. I think I placed 7th overall and 1st in my age group.
Eric Paradis ran the Woodmont Day 5k and finished with a time of 27:42.
My children wanted me to run this again since it goes by their Grandfathers house and they can sit on the porch and eat donuts while I try not to melt. Little fast start had me worried, found my place in the pack and settled down. Sun came out and blasted me for a good while. Was not feeling it, but then saw my time and busted it at the end, missed my PR by 3 seconds. But over a 4 minute improvement since I did this race in 2021 on a cooler day.
Stacey Brooks ran the Dennis 5 Miler and finished this race in the time of 38:10.
This was a tune up for Falmouth. Missed my goal of 38:05 but came pretty close and was pleased given the high humidity. I was hot but got through it.
Angelica Vannatta ran the Bix7 10k with a finishing time of 1:02:54, which was a PR!
Ran the largest non-marathon road race in the Midwest with 6000+ others. First race after 2 weeks of working the personalized training plan. It was a tough race (famous for its 7-9% grade start and 90% humidity!!) but I felt confident & strong the entire race!
Felt amazing & well-prepared for the challenge. Kicked it in to high-gear during the final qtr-mile thanks to practicing stride sprints!
Rodrigo Jara ran the Hermanos Macana Trail Race and finished in a time of 2:42:50.
🇵🇾 National Trail Running Championship 20k – 6th overall – 1st AG
Round 4 of the National Trail Racing Championship, I participated representing my club PAC. It was a race with a very beautiful circuit, spectacular trails with very nice views. I approached the race very conservatively during the first half, and in the second half, I tried to push harder to move up a few positions. I was left with a slightly bitter feeling for not achieving the third place since it was within my reach had I not gotten lost on a section of the race. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the race a lot, and it was a good experience. I had missed trail races!
Michael Iban ran a Virtual 10k and finished this distance in the time of 47:44.
Pretty good 10K tune-up. There were no sanctioned races within 50 miles so I ran a virtual. Because I didn’t have a measured 10K finish line, I programmed my watch for a metric finish. I think it worked fine.
