On a picture-perfect July morning, 71 Flyers ran their hearts out in the Club Team Championships. Many more turned out for the post-race picnic and team photo shoot. Congratulations to ALL the Flyers!
Rachel Duncan wowed the crowd with her gorgeous rendition of The National Anthem.
The race went off in two waves: Corrals AA-C, and Corrals D-L (and all the latecomers). Here are videos of the two starts (I apologize for not being able to capture everyone).
Wave 1
Wave 2
The Sexy Sexagenariansran away with the prizes:
The Flyer 60+ Men placed 2nd (Jerome Berard, John Whitfield, Dave Kleckner), while the Flyer 60+ women placed 3rd (Denise Iannizzotto, Lisa Konorty, Deb Saat). Not to be outdone, the Flyer 70+ men placed 2nd (Dave Dempsy, Steve Kasarsky, Delton Mace).
Individual award winners included Jerome Berard (60-64 bronze, 6:35 pace, 81.35% age graded percentile), Fran Breslauer (80+ gold, 10:48 pace, 80.71% age graded percentile), Deb Saat (65-69 bronze, 8:36 pace, 76.31% age graded percentile).
Many thanks to the picnic organizers for the delicious post-race feast. Old and new Flyers chatted, exchanged war stories, and posed for photos. Team photographer Richard Brounstein
captured the scene.
GO FLYERS!
