Race Recap By Mike Pastva

This weekend 4 /25-26-27 I completed the Ironman VR 4 Race

A 3k run / 40 k bike/ 10 k run

My completion time was 2:31:06

At this time my finisher position is 5226 out of 12322. And 505 out of 1113 in the 50-54 age category.

A great free event and it was fun.

The VR 4 was an Olympic distance.  A finishers medal is available along with other stuff for a fee.

Ironman did ask for a team affiliation and I put Ohio Team ER.

Tree City Marathon

Christine Churpek

Finish Time 3:43:55

Christine Churpek wasn’t going to let the COVID-19 crisis ruin her marathon dreams so she decided to do something about it.  Christine had been training for months to make an attampt at a Boston marathon qualifying run.  When all of the spring marathons were cancelled she decided to create her own one woman marathon.  Sure it wasn’t a sanctioned official race but it was a truly inspiring effort that brought much of the Kent running community together.

Here is a link to an article published about Christine’s marathon:
