Too early for triathlons, open water swimming and paddling but too warm for skiing and snowshoe races, so what is left? Cycling and running and speed eating, of course. Here are some recent reminders that at least some of us are fit already and racing away:
Dennis Ball – 2nd overall (3:49:01) in Queens 50K running race on 3/28/10.
Cynthia “C-Lo” – 3rd overall in her field at the NYC Spring Series race at Floyd Bennett Field on 3/20/10. Race director race report: ” The women’s race was run as a handicap race with the Cat 4’s starting 2 minutes ahead of the Cat 1-2-3’s. In theory, the 123’s should have caught the 4’s or come very close to catching. Instead, we witnessed some of the best Cat 4 women’s racing we have seen in awhile. Like seasoned pro’s, they quickly organized a super smooth paceline and instead of losing time they actually started gaining time and by the end they had a 2:10 gap. In the end, Kissena’s Kelsey Crew took the win over her teammate BrittLee Bowman with Cynthia Lo rounding out the podium in third.”
Bill W. and Lenny G. – 4th and 5th respectively in their field at the NYC Spring Series on 3/14/10 in Central Park.
