Hi Folks,
We will have Wed gym workout, Th Track (but need to start on time so I can make meeting in Walnut Creek late moring, and Saturday Hill Repeats/XTraining are on. the weather looks good from Thursday on.
Looking ahead for run when we want many to show up so we have teams of four: The CHRISTMAS RELAYS on 12/15/19 held at Lake Merced. Teams are by sex and age with some 20 categories offered; so let your Tamalpa Team captains know you want to run with lead time to pre-register so each individual entry can obtain a discount. Don’t wait until the last minute, but you should know by the first week in December if you can run on the Relay; gives the captains time to put together the teams. If a team is short one member, it means the team doesn’t score. Sometimes we have an older category person fill down to a younger age group to complete a team – that’s allowed.
Our club members always end up having a good time with this race held at the north end of Lake Merced in the parking lot. Each runner completes about a 4.5 miles around Lake Merced. I usually do the lead biking to clear the path and alert walkers there’s a race going on.
American ultra runner, CAMILLE HERRON set a new WR for the 24 hour run (on a track, no less) averaging 8:35/mile for 167.8 miles in Albi, France. Remarkable!
Father/son marathon record: Tommy Hughes, 59 and son, Eoin, age 34, ran a new record with a 2:27:52 and 2:31:30 respectively ( Tommy passed his son after 35K) for a 4:59:22 total at the Frankfurt Marathon. That’s not the Father/Son record; that’s held by two-time Olympian for France, Fernand Kolbeck, 43 and son Gerard back in 1987 with a 2:22:54 and 2:23:10 for a 4:46:04 total at the Neuf-Brisach Marathon. They did it again in 1993 with a 4:48:01 total by running 2:24:39 ( at age 49) and 2:23:22 respectively.
I see my picture taken during the Foxy’s Fall 100K ride featuring a boy, age thirteen, who rode the entire 100K – at a good clip. Hope to post it shortly when we posed at 40+ mile lunch stop. I think it is a remarkable effort that a young teenager carried out such a long ride. He does train with his father in the Berkeley hills, so he was ready for a steady pace over a far less hilly terrain in this event.
