Wrightsville Beach Half Marathon – 1:24:34, 2nd age group, 31st overall (~1800). Perfect race conditions (~50F at start, 60F at finish, low wind, overcast, and a super flat course!). Started a little faster than planned, and negative split the second half by about 6 seconds/mile.

Mill Creek Half Marathon
Place: 6th AG, 47/222 OA
Time: 1:44.45
This is a very scenic, challenging, hilly course in Youngstown. Did I mention hilly? 19 hills over the 13.2 miles to be exact! This year, the 2 in of fresh snow and temps at 17 degrees added an interesting dimension to the downhills and the water (ice cubes/slushy) stops. Staying upright on my feet was a task in itself. The race felt like it should have been an Alpine event at the Winter Olympics. This race was an enjoyable experience and hopefully will help prepare me for the hills in Boston.

FALL CLASSIC HALF MARATHON

ERIE MARATHON SEPT 15TH
PAUL L……..
Rough race for me in Erie. On pace thru first half at sub 1:35 but never got in comfortable pace with heart rate jumping up early. Started to have issues at 16-20 mi and finished in 3:26, 1 min off BQ cut. As far as race goes, scenic and flat 2 loop marathon on Presque Isle. Had about 3,000 runners between full and half. Abundant fluid stops every mile, but low key, monotonous type race with little to no fanfare making it a bigger challenge. Often wondered about flat courses but now believe some rolling hills are better for me. Looking at possibly ending fall with another marathon before letting go of the 18 wks of Daniels marathon training and going into winter mode. Some cross training with swimming and cycling over the next 1-2 weeks will help me make the decision.

North Coast Challenge, Westlake Ohio 8-30-2013
5 Mile race, with a lot of competition! Just over 300 runners, but they pay large cash prices for overall winners (including Masters), and cash bounty for anyone who breaks course record (Male/ Female and Masters). A very well organized race and a deep field
Top 3 runners were under 25 minutes (4.40 minute mile average), the top Masters runner came in at 28.05 (5.37 mile), which under the conditions (over 70 degrees and very humid) was solid.
I had a good race, 32.17 for 30th overall, and 2nd in my age group.
ALEX……..70.3 GREATER BUCKEYE HALF
I did the 70.3. sunday and I think I had a great race. I improved my PR by 5 minutes which is awesome. Did it in 5h3min 42secs. I had a great swim just under 35mins, then the hilly bike ride in 2h38mins and the run in 1h45. It was soo hot!! we only started at 8.30am. But hey that is a half ironman. You never know what the weather will be like. Overall a great race. I was 11th overall and 3rd in my age group although the winner was in my AG. Winning time was 4h38 or something in that area.
RAY……ALLIANCE CASTLE RUN 10K
Alliance Castle Run 10K – 41:32, 15th overall (227 finishers total), 1st age group. Monday morning’s high humidity and temperature added difficulty to an already challenging course. I was really proud to see my wife (Peggy) get 3rd in her age group (55:02), and my daughter (Brigitte) get 1st in her age group (44:21). It was a good day for the Fryan’s!
JIM……..RIVERBLUFF TRI NASHVILLE
I did the Riverbluff tri in Nashville – Unfortunately I blew up on the bike leg (pushed a little too hard on a very hot day) and ended up DNF- I would recommend this tri for anyone looking for a late season race – Very well run and the venue is beautiful – The swim is in the Cumberland river – very light current – almost not noticeable – the bike is a pretty tough rolling course in the hills that run alone the banks – part is in an “old wood” forest – probably great in the fall when the colors change – the run (they tell me) is flat and in the same forest – kinda like a tow-path surface – The have a sprint, oly and half distances – about 700 participants – fully 1/3 of which were doing the half – turns out the half is a trainer for a lot of people doing IM Florida in November
HENRY……..REV 3 1/2 IRONMAN CEDAR POINT………. 6TH AGE GROUP TIME 6;25. swim moved to bay because of waves in Lake Erie, it was longer 1.35 for 1/2 but no waves! Long transition for T-1 since we had a .6 mile run back to bike. We battled the winds on the bike course which made for longer bike times. The run was protected in the city from the winds and only had to battle a headwind for the last mile back to the finish. Overall good race, great venue and with the bay option there will always be a smooth swim!
