ANGELICA……..FOX 8,   FOXTROT 5K……2ND AGE GROUP TIME 24:33

KEN……..

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!

BRENDA……FULL IRONMAN CEDAR POINT………8TH AGE GROUP TIME 14:53
