Hyannis Marathon / Hyannis / MA / Sunday, February 24- Don Basso coming off a fine ten miler last weekend continues to work hard with Boston as his goal,     LINK
From Don - I ran the Hyannis as a training run for Boston. I achieved my goals - run the first half slowly, then gradually increase pace during the second half. I finished the final miles a the pace I'll need for Boston. It was a wonderful day, about 40 and sunny, and the race was well run, with a huge indoor facility. I took a couple of potty breaks, and I would catch up with two guys that I met pre-race, who were running their first marathon, so I was able to offer them advice and encouragement as I went. They both finished, and I saw them after the race and congratulated them. I was sure to tell everyone that I passed over the final miles that they were looking good.

Foxboro Old Fashioned Ten Miler / Foxboro / Sunday, February 17 - Big turn out in theTen Mile race with over four hundred and twenty-five runners.  John Brown was first TVFR in, thirty-sixth overall and first in his age division.  Don Basso set a PR while "training" for the marathon.  Charlie Brown also with a great ten miler.  Kathryn Fetteroll in her first attempt at a ten mile race came home with second in her division.  Charlene Gaboriault third in her division.    Demetra Edwards and Sherry Brown with good runs along with Gary Atlas and Ted Tyler LINK
From Martin Auty -  I call it the cruelty factor, when everything catches up with you.  In what looked like a beautiful day with sunshine and a temperature of near 32 it wasn't quite as it appeared.  A brutal wind swept the course and combined with the hills beginning at the five mile mark and my lack of a solid base made for a long ten mile run.  Heck the first six miles went great but then it was time to pay the fiddler with several short and long hills and then a cold wind to smack you in the face.  TVFR had a table together where we met before the race and chowed down after.  It was great to see everyone once again and to share in their thoughts on the race.  Good luck you marathoners it looks like your training is starting to pay off.   Can't wait to hear what the others have to say!!
From Gary Atlas -  I share Martin’s comments as well.  Despite my times, I felt great (I like the cold)! & had a great experience in this well organized race.  Kudos to the Wampanoag Road Runners for putting on this event.   Also Kudos to the Tri-Valley Frontrunner participants for a great showing & a great results. This race continues to grow every year.
From Don Basso - I questioned myself on whether I should run a ten the week before Hyannis, but I'm glad that I did. The race was very well-run, with a well-marked, mostly flat course. The hill in mile eight was a bit of a challenge. I set a lifetime PR for the length, breaking a 17 year old mark! Post-race refreshments were excellent as well. It was nice to see so many TVFR friends there.
