Marathon Part 2




How did the athletes do -


Team Hendryx - we had 4 athletes in the half and 2 in the full.

Debbie and Vi - owners of Running Princess http://runningprincess.com/ - ran together the whole day and ran 6:19 - Vi is running her second marathon in 4 months but Debbie completed her very first marathon - and they both worked the expo for 3 straight days before running.


Tracy and Debbie ran the half in 2:00 - great result for them.


Whitney - getting over a severe cold Whitney walked the half in 3:06


Lisa - sit down for this one - Lisa walked the half in 3:16 - 23 minutes faster than last year (1:45 faster every mile than last year).


TNT - we had many personal bests at the races this weekend - many of the participants completed either their first marathon or half marathon. We had a couple who did both.


I know I will forget some but here are some highlights of the runners we trained:


Debbie - persevered to her first half marathon finish

Missy - held on and showed the determination needed to complete the full in front of the cut off

Larry - just turned 70 this week and knocked down the 26.2 miles without a lot of trouble

Jeff - overcame an injury and walked the 26.2 miles faster than a lot of runners

Alan - completed his umpteenth marathon


Overall, we had 100% completion of both races - we were able to get our athletes to the finish.
