Weekend Race Results (11/13-11/19)

Post date: Nov 21, 2017 7:09:08 PM

Fellow Runners,

Racing for Saturday, November 18, began in the Marin headlands at the North Face Endurance Challenge.  Clayton Kleppinger and Joann Helmus ran the steep marathon, Joann taking third in her age group.

Meanwhile, in Tempe, Arizona, Cary Craig took on the Ironman Arizona Triathlon.  She was hit by another bike only 10 miles into the ride portion and took a nasty spill.  After dusting herself off and fixing her bike, she finished the race in 12:22 to win her age group.

Closer to home on Saturday was the Davis Turkey Trot.  Ki Lee led GVH in the 5K, followed by Peter Friederich and Megan Ransdell.

Mark Murray finished seventh overall in the 10K with 38:58, winning his age group.  Marrie Argentine Chen won the women's race with 40:17.  Susan Gentry took third in her age group and Bruce Fisher won his own.

Speed coach Brendan Ward took fourth in the half marathon with a sizzling 1:19.  Michael Fan and Ed Ballerini each won their respective age groups, with Ed achieving a two-minute PR.  Bingbiao "Eric" Fang, Terry Smiley, Cristina Ramirez, Jane Sykes, Christina Dicker, and Allison Alcalay all placed in their respective age groups.  For Jane, this was her first race back after a long recovery from knee cartilage replacement surgery and a metatarsal fracture.

GVH fielded a smaller but still steadfastly scrupulous contingent of pacers for the half marathon.  The award for finishing closest to target time goes to Daniel Martin Saez, who came in less than 2.5 seconds away from his goal.

Sunday saw the Cross Country Championships at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.  Pam Runquist, Joannie Siegler, and Nicole Aha led the women's team.  Jim Farrar, Craighton Chin, and Mike Johnson led the masters men.  And Zach Bonner, Ben Godfrey, and Steve Andrews led the open men.
