Pittsburgh 1/2 Marathon, June 5th

Chrissy Bowser- Completed the Pittsburgh Half Marathon on May 5, a week after the Nike Women’s Half in the Nation’s Capital. “I felt great throughout the race in Pittsburgh. It was a great race with wall-to-wall people…a fantastic course over five of Pittsburgh’s beautiful bridges.” Finished in 2:02:53, 4788 overall out of 15,000, 352 out of 1431 for my division…and almost a minute faster than my DC pace the week prior! Great weather, great crowds, bands almost every mile and the spirit of Pittsburgh abounds. Ideal race!

Cleveland 10 Miler – Edgewater Park

Jim Dehner – This race has been around for a long time but probably never had better weather. It’s part of the Hermes series in Northeast Ohio and had a real good crowd. The course is a point to point (the finish and start are about 1/4 mile apart. The start is on the western part of the park. The portion that is elevated and the finish is on the eastern lower portion resulting in a net downhill. Between the start and finish is mostly flat out west on Clifton and back.

I finished in 1:29 and took a 3rd place in the 65+ age group (not a big group) and felt good about the day.

Mark Gorris and Scott Mazon – Union Hospital Run for Home 1/2 Marathon, April 14

Yesterday I did a monster brick with some NE Ohio triathletes and fellow Team ER member, Scott Mazon.

We rode 62 + miles, lots of hills and lots of hard pulls.  We arrived in New Philly with time to change into our run gear, then toed the line of the Union Hospital Run For Home Half Marathon.  It was a great day for a road race, although the hills took a hammer to my already sore quads.  I ended up running  1:32 and change, good enough for 24thOA and 4th in my AG.  Of the three people in front of me, only one, Brian Stern, rode 62 miles before the race!
All in all a good training day……MARK
