Week of 4/23/12 - 4/29/12

Despite the rain and wind, the Rogue Racers did an amazing job at the 2012 Parkway Classic races yesterday.  After helping to set up the Jos. A. Banks water stop on Washington St., Keith Freeburn won the 5K race in 17:50.

Hannah Roller was the first of the Rogue Racers to cross the finish line in the 10 mile race with a time of 1:17:27.  She was closely followed by Justin, who set a PR of 1:18:04.  Tom and BethAnn finished together with times of 1:19:10 and 1:19:11, and Tom even set a course PR beating his 2011 Parkway Classic time by 40 seconds.

Kelly Paul crushed her 2009 10 mile PR yesterday by 21 minutes and 36 seconds with a time of 1:28:40.  George Paul and Lisa Hoffman were right behind Kelly with times of 1:28:40 (yes George, we saw you a few feet behind Kelly in the finish line photos) and 1:31:02.  Congratulations Lisa on your 10 mile PR.  Way to go everyone on the fantastic times!

I want to say a special thanks to Bob Latin, John Sharp, and Debbie Reynolds who volunteered with me at the Jos. A. Banks water stop handing out water to runners in both the 5K and 10 mile races.  I don't know if we were as perky as Kelly was last year at the water stop, but we sure tried! :-)

By the way, don't you guys think the new Rogue Racers gear looks AWESOME in these pictures?

  3. Is anyone else thinking about running the Joe Cassella 5K on Sunday, May 20? I registered under team name "ROGUE RACERS" but it dawned on me that I might be the only one at the race. Anyone want to join me?

  6. Happy birthday, April!

    What is with the "n/a?" Tell Keith to watch the kids so we can hang out with the fun Freeburn!



    (Just kidding, Keith - you're fun, too)

  7. I have the GOTR 5K on the same day as the Joe Cassella race. Plus a VERY important event that afternoon that is NOT to be missed.

  8. I totally understand. April is much more fun to hang with. Great job to all the Rogue Racer's that ran and to the super water stop group. Without Holly making sure that I knew I was being chased down by a woman I might not have run as hard. Just Kidding! She has a PR of 16:30 or something and trains with Alisa Harvey, so I wouldn't have felt too bad if I lost to her.
