Belated congratulations to all of the CPTC runners who came up to the Bronx to run in the half marathon on February 11. The race used to be in July and it wasn’t too hot this time, but the extreme temperatures continue as it was very cold, especially for the spectators. With the change in date of the Brooklyn half marathon, many used the Bronx half as a tune up for Boston, (or other spring marathons) while others used the race as a tempo run. Katy Masselam (1:21:08) and Lauren Gustafson (1:21:13) finished first and second, each with a PR! It was Katy’s first time ever breaking the tape in a NYRR road race. On the men’s side, Alan Ruben (1:15:26) was first overall for the club in ninth, at age 49, and of course, won his age group. He was followed closely by Russ Pfeffer in tenth, (a PR of 1:15:36). Sascha Kreideweis also PRed in 1:21:09. (Let me know about any other PRs)
