2015 promises to be a big year for the Striders! Everyone's favorite race (The RRCA 10 Mile Challenge) is only seven weeks away and should be a good opportunity to see the benefits from this winter's training. Good luck to everyone this week, we're going to have a few chilly days out there!
Wrapping up December of 2014:
Jason Tripp participated in the Jingle Bell Walk/Run 5k and walked or ran his way to the W in 18:50 which is either impressive or very impressive depending on his choice.
Mick Slonaker, Jess Ivy, and Tiffany Hevner represented the Striders at the Reston Run for Santa 5k. Mick (20:22) and Tiffany (19:23) ran well, winning their respective age groups. Jess kicked butt and snagged 3rd place overall in the female division.
A large contingent of Striders turned out for the Celtic Solstice 5 Miler in Baltimore. There were a handful of PRs set in addition to many impressive overall and age-group performances. Julia set a racing team record for the 5 mile distance (with a victory to boot). Carlos also took first place and was finally able to grab his first win on the course after many valiant attempts. Great job everyone who ran!
