JEANNIE RITCHIE… Tallmadge and Caribbean 5k

I ran the Tallmadge Memorial 5K this past week. Of course I think that this is the best race around! Very well-organized and a fast course. This was my first race back since my injury last July- so it’s great to be back! I was 4th woman overall with a time of 20:15.
I ran this past Saturday, May 31st, at the Caribbean 5K in green. Northcoast Multisports timed the race–Go Mickey! They did a great job as usual. There was a 5K and 10K course, one and two loops. I was 1st female overall and 3rd place overall men and women. I ran a time of 20:36. It was a nice race but the numbers of participants were down this year.

MARK GORRIS…RUN TO THE BEACH 1/2 MARATHON, BRICK

Today, May 4th I rode just over 40 miles, starting at 6:15am, with my good friend Ed Slovenkay. We rode pretty hard, with a significant portion of the ride at Ironman 70.3 race wattage. We arrived at Portage Lakes State Park, site of the annual triathlon in late summer, to race the Run to the Beach Half Marathon
The course uses part of the triathlon run, and you also run on some trails, once between mile 1-2, shortly after mile 8.5, and then right before the finish.
That trail section is the longest and probably the toughest on the legs as the effects of almost 13 miles of running can definitely be felt. You finish with a long run out on the beach to the finish line.
Happy to report that I finished the race in just under 1:35:00, a 7:15 average. Considering my hamstring/piriformis nagging injury was with me from the start, I’ll take it. Ran the first 8.5 split at a 7:20 pace and the final 4.6 at 7:05, with my last two miles being my fastest
Ended up finishing 6th OA, top Master, first in AG. Unique awards and a great atmosphere, this is one race to put on your calendars for 2015
