Runners of the Month for July  2009

 Ross Mungeam for trail race wins. Mary Tyler for age group first at Summer Steamer.   


36th Annual Marshfield Road Runners 20K - Marshfield, MA - August 30, 2009  -   From Harry:  The Marshfield 20K was Rat Race #4.  The weather wasn't bad, cool and cloudy, the the course was hilly.  Not a lot of flat in this race, you are either running up or down, including a steep hill at 8 and a long hill (that you get to run twice) at 6 and 11.  Hot dogs and pretzels after the race.  Awards are gift certificates rather than trophies, which is nice.

Swimsuit Classic 5K Race - Wakefield, MA - August 16, 2009  -   From Mary Tyler:  Ted ran the Swimsuit 5K race around Wakefield's Lake Quannapowitt today. It was his first race since knee scoping back in April. and for that matter, first race since Sharon Timlin back in June of 2008 at which point his knee hurt so bad he didn't race again until today.  He took it really slow, we both had trouble with the heat today and he got a cramp in his calf, but he says it felt good to be back racing again.  Interesting gifts - small track bags instead of tee shirts for all, and awards were blue and white striped beach towels with the Mystic Roadrunners printed discreetly on one corner.  Very appropriate for a swimsuit race.  Unfortunately not a lot of swimsuits present.  A few swimsuit tops and cover-ups were worn by a couple of the girls and  some of the colorful knee-length "shorts" worn by the guys were probably swimsuits, but no bikinis or speedos.  We've never run one but pictures I've seen of evening swimsuit or bikini races from last year had a lot more swimsuits.  Maybe 6:30 at night seems more acceptable than Sunday morning,

12th Annual Beach to Beacon 10K - Cape Elizabeth, ME - August 1, 2009 Over 5615 finishers in this race put on by Joan Benoit Samuelson.   Linda and Charlene both finished in under an hour.  From Charlene:  I thought it was suppose to be downhill for the first several miles with some steep hills near the end.  NO!  It seemed like gradual up-hills all the way with killer hills at the end.  Fairly hot and muggy but plenty of water and hoses along the way.  Tons of food at the end.  A nice race!
