The absence of ice and snow Dec.-early March denied Maryland a winter wonderland, but landed the Striders plenty of wins and outstanding performances. </div>

<b><i>Olympic Feats of Strength</i></b> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First of all, winter caps off to <b>Hannah Cocchiaro and Caroline Bauer,</b> who earned the honor of competing in the <b>U.S. Olympic Trials in Atlanta </b>on February 29!!! Battling brutal hills and gale winds, Hannah placed 61st out of more than 400 women with a time of 2:42:02 and Caroline came in 210th at 2:49:20. Family, friends, and fellow Striders members were on hand to witness this historic event!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Julia Roman-Duval</b> qualified for the trials as well, but held out in order to compete the same weekend in the Paris Half Marathon, aiming for a shot on the French national team. Unfortunately the event was cancelled only the day before due to concerns about the spread of the coronavirus. </div>

Several Striders flocked to the Rehoboth Beach Seashore Marathon on December 7th, with <b>Kevin Ford </b>taking first in M30-34 and 6th overall with a time of 2:41:30 and <b>Mark Landree</b> winning M50-54 and earning a PR and grand master racing team record at 2:51:52. <b>Callie Betman</b> came in 12th of all women and took 3rd in F25-29 at 3:14:37, while <b>Faye Weaver </b>came in 4th in F45-49 at 3:28:18.<br />
<br />
On Feb. 9, <b>Kevin Ford</b> also competed in the Rock n Roll New Orleans Marathon, earning 2nd place in M30-34 and 4th place overall male with a time of 2:44:21. <b>Adam Sachs </b>earned a PR at the California International Marathon on with a time of 2:40:19.<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Lindsay Pickett and Rachel Collins </b>represented at the Houston 3M Half Marathon on Jan. 19, posting PR times of 1:31:39 and 1:35:16.<br />

<b><i>Ten-Mile Tributes</i></b> </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
At the DCRRC Al Lewis 10 Miler Jan. 11, the fiercely fast trio of <b>Hannah Cocchiaro, Julia Roman-Duval and Caroline Baur </b>cleaned up with a 1st-2nd-3rd place sweep among all women, with times of 56:21, 57:08 and 59:45, respectively. </div>

<br /></div>
<div>
At our own <b><i>RRCA Club 10-Mile Challenge</i></b> on Feb. 23, both the men's and women's teams navigated the hill-crazy course under sunny skies (finally, after two years of cold downpours) with strong representation and standout performances. Special congrats to <b>Selvi Rajagopal, </b>who came in first overall on the women's side with a time of 1:00:34!</div>

<b>HEADING TO BOSTON 2020:</b></h2>
</div>
<div>
Gaining entry into the Boston Marathon got five minutes minus another minute and 41 seconds harder than in the past several years, based on the new time tougher standard <i>and</i> extra cushion needed to qualify for 2020. Racing team members registered for the event, being held on April 20, 2020, include Jason Tripp, Tunde Moraykino, Deb Taylor, and Debbie Cohen (those are all I know about). Who else is going?<br />
<br />
<br />
HAPPY WINTER WEATHER RUNNING TO ALL!!!!!<br />

<br />
The Howard County Striders Racing Team has clocked some impressive performances so far this year! Tackling the notoriously roller-coaster steep hills in the cold, pouring rain, many racing team members had strong finishes in the <i><b>RRCA Club Challenge 10 Miler.</b></i> Held on February 24 at Howard County Community College, this annual race draws tough competitors from all the running clubs in the Maryland/DC area. There were a lot of no-shows due to the cold driving rain, so just showing up meant you had to be tough, which we were! The Howard County Striders Racing Team came in second of all clubs represented on both the women's and men's side.<br />
<br />
Highlights included:<br />
<ul>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">Julia Roman-Duval took first among all women with a time of 58:59, while Hannah Cocchiaro took second at 1:00.54.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">Carlos Renjifo came in 11th among all men with a time of 54:40.15, and Andrew Madison took 13th with a time of 55:55.08.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">Erin Chamberlain was first female master with a time of 1:08:29.19.</li>
<li style="margin-left: 15px;">Jason Tripp was second male master with a time of 58:04.15</li>

Although there aren't many races throughout January and February, some racing team members found some to test their fitness.
<ul>
<li>In early January, <a href="http://www.striders.net/groups/striders-racing-team/stephanie-caporaletti" target="_blank">Stephanie Caporaletii</a> competed in the <a href="https://www.rundisney.com/disneyworld-marathon/" target="_blank">Walt Disney World Running Festival</a>. Stephanie chose to do the Dopey Challenge, which requires runners to complete all four races of the weekend over four days. She ran the 5K (37:03), 10K (43:40), Half Marathon (1:47:48), and Full Marathon (3:21:18)! Stephanie also took 3rd place in the <a href="https://results.chronotrack.com/event/results/event/event-37588" target="_blank">Mid-Maryland Ultra 50K</a>.</li>
<li>Several runners competed in the Howard County Striders sponsored <a href="http://www.striders.net/penguin-pace" target="_blank">Penguin Pace 5K</a>. <a href="http://www.striders.net/groups/striders-racing-team/mark-eagles" target="_blank">Mark Eagles</a> won the race in 17:51, <a href="http://www.striders.net/groups/striders-racing-team/brian-shadrick" target="_blank">Brian Shadrick</a> ran 18:59 for 4th overall, and <a href="http://www.striders.net/groups/striders-racing-team/john-chall" target="_blank">John Chall</a> took 14th overall in 21:00. Both Brian and John won their age groups.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.striders.net/groups/striders-racing-team/conrad-orloff" target="_blank">Conrad Orloff</a> competed on the indoor track at PVTC All Comers Meet. He ran the 3K in 10:31 and the 5K in 17:22, winning both races.</li>
</ul>
As the weather gets warmer, expect to see racing team members at a variety of races. Coming up in March, there is the <a href="http://www.charmcityrun.com/calendar/2016/3/13/st-patricks-day-shamrock-5k" target="_blank">KELLY Shamrock 5K</a> in Baltimore. Team members will also compete in the <a href="http://www.baa.org/races/boston-marathon.aspx" target="_blank">Boston Marathon</a>, <a href="http://www.striders.net/clydes" target="_Blank">Clyde's 10K</a>, and <a href="https://www.pikespeek10k.org/" target="_blank">Pike's Peek 10K</a> in April.

Team members have raced everything from the mile to the marathon in the past couple months. The most popular and most competitive race in the fall is the <a href="http://www.armytenmiler.com/" target="_blank">Army Ten Miler</a> in Washington, D.C. This year, runners had to deal with unusually high humidity, so no one set a PR. But many team members placed in their awards categories, including <a href="http://www.striders.net/groups/striders-racing-team/julia-roman-duval" target="_blank">Julia Roman-Duval</a> who placed 2nd overall and 1st in her age group.<br /><br />

In August, he ran the Coolest Mile on Main Street in Sykesville, placing 2nd in 4:42. The following week he won the Survivor Strong 5K in a time of 18:29. While training for all these races, Brian also had time to organize the Howard County Striders Centennial Mile series!</li>
<li>Beth Hannon was the top female finisher (and 5th overall) at the <a href="http://www.qcstriders.com/uploads/2/8/0/1/28015567/lisawad2017_results.txt" target="_blank">Lisa Wade 5K</a> in a time of 19:23.

The racing team wrapped up February with their most important race of the year: the <a href="http://www.striders.net/rrca-club-challenge" target="_blank">RRCA Club Challenge 10 Miler</a>! Each year, the racing team represents the Striders against all other running clubs in Maryland and DC. The women's team, not bothered by the strong winds, took home a collection of trophies. They won the overall, under-40, and grand-master team awards while placing 2nd in the master's division. On the men's side, the grand-master's team finished 2nd, just 5 points behind the winning Montgomery County team. They placed 3rd in all other divisions (overall, under-40, and master's), losing to rivals Georgetown and Falls Road running clubs in each division. <a href="http://www.striders.net/groups/striders-racing-team/julia-roman-duval" target="_blank">Julia Roman-Duval</a> was victorious individually with a winning time of 1:00:04. <a href="http://www.striders.net/groups/striders-racing-team/andrew-madison" target="_blank">Andrew Madison</a> led the men's team, placing 8th overall in a time of 54:05. <a href="http://www.striders.net/race-results/2017-rrca-club-challenge-10m" target="_blank">Click here</a> for all individual and team results.

A couple weeks ago the Striders stepped up at one of the first major events of the Fall racing season, the Annapolis 10 Miler. It's a challenging course and weather tends to be a factor, but it's a great chance to see how everyone's summer training has progressed. The results were quite impressive:<br />
<br />
Striders women swept the top three spots at the Annapolis 10 Miler a few weeks ago.<br />
1st: Caroline Bauer - 1:00:44<br />
2nd: Alex Wang - 1:02:33<br />
3rd: Beth Hannon - 1:05:29<br />
<br />
Awesome job ladies! That Caroline and Alex have run under 60 minutes before in a ten miler is a testament to the challenging conditions. That just makes it all the more impressive!<br />
<br />
Not to be outdone, the Striders men also had a top finisher in Andrew Madison, who claimed second in the men's race with a conveniently timed 55:55.<br />
<br />
AG Domination:<br />
Our masters weren't about to let the young guns have all the fun. Linda-Lou O'Connor (2nd), John Chall (2nd), Ed Wilson (1st), Tunde Marakinyo (1st) and Conrad Fernandes (3rd) all rocked their respective age groups, taking top three honors.<br />
<br />
Great job everyone! If this is any indication, the Fall racing season is sure to be a fast one.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5238106225334072069.post-82785001102224782662016-05-09T15:31:00.004-04:002016-05-09T15:31:31.400-04:00Fast Times at the Pike's Peek 10k<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Several Striders toed the line on April 24th at the Pike's Peek 10k in Rockville, MD. It's one of the fastest 10km races around, with a favorable elevation drop and a lot of strong local competition. For the Striders who didn't run Boston, and at least one who did (<span style="color: orange;">Conrad Fernandes</span> is bonkers) this race was a great chance to snag some fast times to round out the Spring racing season.<br />
<br />
<b>Another Team Record Falls:</b><br />
<span style="color: orange;">Julia Roman-Duval</span> lowered her own racing team record while running a PR of 34:21. On the women's side, she lead the race from the gun and took the victory by a margin of almost 3 minutes.<br />

<br />
The Boston Marathon draws some of the best runners from all over the world to one place so that they can run gradually downhill for a really long time, then uphill for a few brutal miles, and then downhill again once their legs are completely thrashed. Boston is truly its own beast, and there's nothing quite like the journey from Hopkinton to Boyleston Street. With Spring marathons the weather can present a unique challenge...will we get 35 degrees with wind and rain, or 80 degrees of muggy sunshine? That's to say nothing about the weather during the months of Winter training leading up to the race.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
Taking all these factors in stride, many of our Striders worked their butts off this year to prepare for Boston and we are proud of them! This year it was a pleasant start which developed into a warm finish. Despite this, several Striders knocked out impressive performances and even a PR on this difficult course.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On the Men's side, <span style="color: orange;">Andrew Madison</span> held on after a quick start to lead the team in at 2:37:11 (good for 80th overall). <span style="color: orange;">Mark Buschman</span> (2:46:34) and <span style="color: orange;">Conrad Orloff</span> (2:46:46) cruised in with respectable times, especially considering the former battled injuries all season and the latter struggled with illness in the days leading up to the race. <span style="color: orange;">Ed Wilson</span> (3:04:20), <span style="color: orange;">Conrad Fernandes</span> (also 3:04:20), and <span style="color: orange;">Sean Costello</span> (3:25:02) rounded out the Mens' performances. Great job guys!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: orange;">Beth Hannon</span> blazed the trail for the women, setting a PR in 3:09:20 (209th female)! <span style="color: orange;">Tiff Hevner</span> rocked a 3:20:14, while <span style="color: orange;">Noel McCracken</span> brought home a 3:23:27. Kelly Westlake (who holds a sub-3:10 PR) toughed out a 3:31:41 to bring the Striders home. Hats off to our awesome ladies!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's wonderful that the Striders can send a strong contingent of runners to this historic race each year. Congratulations on keeping up the tradition everyone!</div>

About a week before the <a href="http://www.cherryblossom.org/" target="_blank">Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run</a> in DC it was apparent that we were in for a cold, windy race morning. With steady winds at 20+ mph and gusts up to 40mph, the going was definitely tough in several sections of the race. Competitors experienced some of the worst winds in the final two miles while making their way back from Hains Point.<br />
<br />
Despite the sub-optimal weather conditions, many Striders came out to throw down impressive performances against stiff competition.<br />

<b>Team Competition:</b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: orange;">Julia Roman-Duval</span> (95th overall - 58:30) and <span style="color: orange;">Caroline Bauer</span> (117th overall - 59:25) led the Striders women with crazy sub-hour performances. <span style="color: orange;">Beth Hannon</span> (64:18), <span style="color: orange;">Alex Wang</span> (64:18), <span style="color: orange;">Tiffany Hevner</span> (69:04) rounded out this impressive team. Somehow they were the only open ladies team, so they won! With performances like these it's likely they would have run away with the victory anyway.<br />

<br />
This year the Striders got to watch as one of our own raced at the Olympic Marathon Trials in LA. <span style="color: orange;">Julia Roman-Duval</span> ran a solid race in hot and largely shade-less conditions, bringing home a very impressive 2:46:47. That was good for 50th place against the best female marathoners the US has to offer, in weather which caused many strong participants to drop out. Great job Julia!<br />

<br />
A year after a disappointing weather-based cancellation, the Ten Mile Challenge returned with several Striders achieving top performances as well as PRs.<br />
<br />
In the team competition the HCS Elite Men, Women, and Combined teams performed admirably. The Women's team had the top two overall finishers (<span style="color: orange;">Julia </span>and <span style="color: orange;">Caroline Bauer</span>) who helped drive the team to a second place finish. The Men's team came in third against some very tough competition (Falls Road put runners in five of the top six spots) and the Overall HCS team also came in third.<br />

There were many PRs, with the women's open marathon record falling TWICE in just two weeks.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Adam Wytko</span></b> opened things up in September with a solid 2:53:54 to win the Bagel to Beer Marathon in Columbia.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Linda-Lou O'Connor</span></b> ran the Wineglass Marathon for 3rd Master in 3:22:51, and toed the line again less than a month later to run the NYC Marathon in 3:33:32.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Noel McCracken</span></b> also ran the Wineglass Marathon, notching a 3:14:49, good for 17th.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Ed Wilson</span></b> (3:18:26), <b><span style="color: orange;">Tunde Morakinyo</span></b> (3:24:44 as a pacer!), <b><span style="color: orange;">Alex Wang</span></b> (3:12:01, also a pacer) knocked out respectable performances in Baltimore.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: orange;">Beth Hannon</span></b> knocked out a solid PR at Marine Corps, running 3:10:44.<br />
<br />
A contingent of Striders were also at the Philadelphia Marathon two weeks ago, with Craig Lebro leading the way with a huge PR (2:36:51). <b><span style="color: orange;">Kevin Ford</span></b> was next in 2:44:32 (also a PR), while <b><span style="color: orange;">Alex Wang</span></b> slashed about 5 minutes off of her PR by running 2:45:25. Alex's time was good for a women's RTR. <b><span style="color: orange;">Ed Wilson</span></b> also set a RTR for the Grand Master category, destroying his Baltimore time and running under 3 hours (2:59:32).<br />
<br />
The performance of the hour has to be <b><span style="color: orange;">Julia Roman-Duval</span></b>'s Olympic Trials Qualifying marathon performance at the California International Marathon. She ran even splits for a 2:40:36, which makes her the newest racing team record-holder. Great job Julia!<br />
<br />
Congratulations to everyone who were able to see their hard training to completion this Fall. Keep up the great work!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5238106225334072069.post-83148787629999708192015-11-04T20:12:00.000-05:002015-11-04T20:12:02.242-05:00Playing Catch-Up, Fall EditionApologies for not posting in a while! The Striders Racing team has been busy since April, knocking out impressive performances and achieving PRs left and right. Here's a quick review of some of the team's PRs from the past few months:<br />
<br />
Tori Bedard (Marathon)<br />
Mark Eagles (Mile, 5k, 8k, 15k, Half Marathon)<br />
Kevin Ford (10k, 26.2k)<br />
Nick Grossi (8k)<br />
Beth Hannon (Marathon)<br />
Tammy Liu Hermstein (10 Miles)<br />
Tiffany Hevner (Half Marathon)<br />
Craig Lebro (10k, 10 Miles)<br />
Noel McCracken (Marathon)<br />
Julia Roman-Duval (8k, 10k, 15k, Half Marathon, 26.2k)<br />
Brian Shadrick (1500m, Mile, 10k)<br />
Eric Shuler (Half Marathon)<br />
Alex Wang (10k, 10 Miles, 26.2k, Marathon)<br />
<br />
<br />
Congratulations are due for Julia Roman-Duval (8k, 10k, Half Marathon, 26.2k) and Alex Wang (10 Miles), who also set Racing Team Records with their performances.<br />
<br />
Fall marathon season is upon us. Several members have already opened up with some great performances at Marine Corps (Beth Hannon), Baltimore (Ed Wilson, Tunde Marakinyo, Alex Wang) and NYC (Linda Lou O'Connor). Keep up the great work!<br />
<br />
For those who have yet to run their final big race of the year, good luck!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5238106225334072069.post-85563398450466030772015-04-23T15:12:00.000-04:002015-04-23T15:12:26.734-04:00Fast Times in DCSeveral of our members turned out for the <a href="http://www.cherryblossom.org/" target="_blank">Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run</a>. We are truly fortunate to have an event nearby that draws immense local, national, and international talent for us to compete against. An incident on the course before the start of the race caused the course to be shortened to 9.39 miles, but the Striders came through with some huge performances despite the last minute change. Many members almost certainly would have run PRs had the course been regulation length.<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We've finally made it to March! This warmer weather couldn't come a moment too soon. Hats off to our runners who braved record-breaking cold temperatures and snowy/icy conditions (or terminally boring treadmills) this winter to keep their spring racing goals alive.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The RRCA Ten Mile Challenge was postponed due to weather conditions and may (or may not) be rescheduled in the coming months. But don't let that get you down, there are still some awesome races (and nicer racing conditions) coming soon. The Boston Marathon is just around the corner and Clyde's 10k, the Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Race and many more are coming up even sooner.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Some Striders did manage to get a race (or three) in last month. Here's the rundown:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: orange;">Nick Grossi </span>and <span style="color: orange;">John Chall</span> entered the Penguin Pace 5k, running 18:43 for 4th and 20:19 for 9th overall, respectively.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One week later <span style="color: orange;">Nick </span>entered another 5k and bettered his previous time, running 18:01 for 22nd place at the Love the Run You're With 5k. He was joined by <span style="color: orange;">Linda Lou O'Connor</span> who ran 20:40 for 14th (she also won her age group!).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Less than a week after that, the flurry of 5k performances continued, with <span style="color: orange;">Linda Lou</span> and <span style="color: orange;">Mark Eagles </span>running 20:51 for 4th and 17:53 for 6th, respectively.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: orange;">Kevin Ford</span> made a trip out to Pasadena, CA to visit family and ran the Race on the Base 10k in 34:01 (a PR), coming in 1st. On the same day, <span style="color: orange;">Mark Eagles</span> ran the Sykesville Shiver Shuffle 5k in 18:33 for 3rd while <span style="color: orange;">Carlos Renjifo</span> destroyed the Color Your Heart 5k, running 16:01 for 1st by a sizable margin.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Great job everybody!</div>

<b>Strider Races:</b></div>
<div>
January this year was a fairly quiet month for the Striders Racing Team but there were still some notable performances:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On New Year's Day <span style="color: lime;">Brian Shadrick</span> lit up the <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/wrrclub/results/winfield-mile">Winfield Mile</a> in Sykesville, setting a Masters course record and nabbing 4th place in a competitive race. <span style="color: lime;">Brian</span> also got 4th place at the <a href="http://www.kintera.org/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=1121393&lis=1&kntae1121393=31ECF11FAED2411CAA92A12879242A94">Freeze Your Buns 5k</a>, running a solid 18:18.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: lime;">Chris Chattin</span> and <span style="color: lime;">John Chall</span> turned out for the Burleigh Manor 5k, running 19:17 for 8th place and 20:21 for 14th place, repectively. Great job guys!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
To finish off the month, <span style="color: lime;">Tiffany Hevner</span> cracked 90 minutes for the half in the <a href="http://www.raceit.com/search/event.aspx?id=30587">High Cloud Snapple Half Marathon</a> in Potomac, MD. She ran 1:29:41 for second place!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
February is now upon us and the end of winter is sorta almost maybe in sight! There are only three weeks left until the RRCA Ten Mile Challenge. Good luck with your training, and stay warm if you can!</div>
