Eastern States 20
Miler /
Kittery, ME to Salisbury MA / Sunday,
March 30 From
Harry Jarvis -
Light winds, cool temps,
and plenty of sun made this a nice day for a race that spans three states.
TVFR was well represented as 575 runners wound their way along the coast
from Kittery, ME to Salisbury, MA. The scenery is top notch and the food
included pizza, three kinds of soup and the usual assortment of fruit and
grannola bars. If you are of the mind to run 20 miles, this is a race you
shouldn't miss.

Rabbit Ramble / 5K /
Wrentham / MA / Saturday,
March 22 This
race was held at the location of the Cracker Barrel Fair Grounds which is
wide open fields surrounding the old Wrentham State School. I should have
turned back when I saw a guy launching a twenty foot kite sail with the wind.
On a normal day this would be a very fast course but we ran into a very strong
headwind to start which turned into a side wind from the left for about a mile
and quarter. Finally a tail wind that didn't last long and a very strong
headwind for the last half mile.

New Bedford Half
Marathon /
New Bedford / MA / Sunday,
March 16 Early
results are in and it was a huge field of TVFR's in the race with excellent runs
by all of our participants. I am waiting to hear from some of these
runners but I do know that Mike Sawyer set a PR in this race. Kathryn
Fetteroll with a PR in her first Half Marathon and second in her division.
TVFR men's did well with a fourteenth place finish in the open field, eighth in
the masters and eleventh in the Senior Field. This in the first time in
may years that we have had a women's team and they also did well with a
twenty-first place finish in the open field and sixteenth in the masters field

From - Harry
Jarvis - Hoo-Rah!
The 2008 USATF Grand Prix got off to a good start with TVFR
fielding an impressive 19 runners! This includes six women
(seven if you count Jay's identical twin sister Jan) which gave
us an open and a masters women's team. Way to go ladies! Many
of the TVFRs turned in record setting performances, including
Kathryn Fetteroll and Jen Lade both running their first
half-marathon, Mike Sawyer, Don Basso who shattered a decades
old lifetime PR, John Dumont more than 2 minutes faster than
'07, and yours truly who shaved 3:45 from last year's time. If
I missed anyone let us know! Good job TVFR! I hope to see you
all and more on 5/11 for the 6K in Nashua.

From Mike
Sawyer -
There was some reasonable wind off that water again for sure.
The 13mph forecast at race time was probably about right. Of
course that's much better than last year by comparison! And this
year was warmer too by probably just enough to feel okay...37
or 38 degrees. I know I ran a notable PR for 10 along the
way if that would have counted given the course contours and
still felt quite strong. Mile 6 is a very fast mile...went from
a 29:22 at mile 5 marker to a 35:00 at the six and was starting
to feel pretty good, so I figured it was a strong chance by
then. I guess it's amazing what a good taper off a good base can
sometimes work for magic.

From Gary
Atlas - Great
turn-out from TVFR for this race. It was clear & cool day (~34
degrees) with the ‘normal’ head winds after mile 9. I only managed
to see less than ½ of the TVFR team. Congratulations to Mike &
Kathryn for their outstanding performances. Also, congrats to
Captain Jarvis for fielding a great USATF Team.

2nd Annual Chipmunk 5K
for ALS /
Upton / MA / Saturday,
March 8 John Brown
led the way followed by Larry Olsen, John Dumont, ne club member Sara Minsk, John Parker and Sherry Brown
in this the second annual Chipmunk for ALS. The race had been rescheduled
from last weekends snow storm but still managed just under 100 runners. |
|
From Cyndy Rogers -
I think the rescheduling, due to heavy snow, and then the
calls for a flood watch and torrential rains promoted a minimal turnout, but
we had fun anyway, and it did not even rain during the actual race! |
