Old Man Strength, the A8K Edition. (Revised)

Time: 30:38.13 (unless you go by chip time, in which case the time is 30:34.81)

Place: 82/1307 (12/183 Men 40-44) Good enough for a mug, a handshake from Horace Ashenfelter himself, and THIS IS NOW OFFICIAL: 669 Grand Prix Points (bringing my total to 5019). 

Age Graded PLP: 73.24, my best performance in any race. 

To say that I am pleased with the result is an understatement. 

Old Man Strength! (Revised Results)

It was a beautiful day to run a 5k up in Sparta. Dave, Jeff, and Michelle ran the Krogh's Turkey Trot. As planned, Dave held onto Jeff's ass most of the the way and then made a move around the 2 mile mark. Being a downhill finish, gravity prevailed and it was a close finish. We are pleased with the results:
Dave - 18:21 chip (new post-high school PR - most unexpected) 3d 40-49 division
Jeff - 18:28 chip
Michelle - 28: 07 chip
A good time was had by all.

We will forever debate the whole net-chip timing system, as it seems you aren't racing the guy in front of you, you are racing some dude in the back of the pack with a faster net-time!

Results from Philadelphia - "Outstanding"

Congratulations to Luis! He finished his first marathon in 3:31:51.
The splits are not posted, so I can't see how bad he crashed! ha ha ha. But the first 10k was in 44:4 something. see link (could the weather be any more perfect?)

New Singlet?

Imagine it with a Highlands Hashers logo on the front with an "On-On" foot on the back. 

I am going to be shaking people down for money over the next couple weeks so we can get enough to place an order.
