HoCo at the A10 (Where the A stands for Awesome)

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:

Striders women swept the top three spots at the Annapolis 10 Miler a few weeks ago.
1st:  Caroline Bauer - 1:00:44
2nd:  Alex Wang - 1:02:33
3rd:  Beth Hannon - 1:05:29

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!

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.

AG Domination:
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.

Great job everyone!  If this is any indication, the Fall racing season is sure to be a fast one.
