From Lauren Carter of the Open Women:

This scoring race took Lady Orange out to the borough of Brooklyn where we proved our strength at yet another distance.  From the Brooklyn Museum through Prospect Park and down to Coney Island, we proved that we can be a force to be reckoned with no matter what borough we are in!

The women’s open team was led by Kate Pfeffer’s blazing 1:22:57.  Following her lead were Lauren Carter and Alysia Dusseau, with a 1:24:26 and 1:24:36 respectively.  Jenn Busse made her return to the road with a stellar 1:25:11, and Annie Onishi rounded out the scoring with a 1:26:01. The team took second behind NYAC.

Huge congratulations to Sari Aviv who made her a comeback from 13 months of battling injuries to finish in 1:31:44.  Unsure of what kind of shape she was in, Sari started the race very conservatively.  This allowed her to pick it up by 20 seconds per mile in the second half of the race and finish just one second off her PR!

Congrats to all who finished!

Lauren

 

From Ani Go of the 40+ women:
The masters ladies turned on the hipster groove and represented in the Brooklyn Half this Saturday! our own tri-star Ms Stacy Creamer (S.Creamer in the house!) lends her running talents to score first for us in 1:35:09 (4th in her age group, and a whopping 81.39% AG).  Next is superwoman Nicole Rodriguez posting 1:36:39, a yooge PR for  Ms Nicole!  22mins in the half!  Holy cow patties!  Nicole has ran and scored in all of our points races this year so far.  Rounding out and debuting as a master on our scoring team is Bhaviksha Ranchod, with 1:49:55.  Hello, and welcome to the masters league, Bhaviksha!  In addition to running for this scoring race, Bhaviksha is also raising money for diabetes research.  Thank you ladies!

Congrats to our open women (2nd) open men (3rd) masters men 50+ (1st!)  masters men 60+ (3rd).

And that’s not all!  The NYPD Memorial 5k was Sunday!

The amazing and versatile Judy Stobbe ran the NYPD Memorial 5k this weekend and came in 3rd overall in the time of 19:32! An adult PR! Looking forward to seeing her go sub-19 (you will!). Go Judy!

Coming back from injury is tigress Terry Ballou, right on Ms Judy’s heels in 19:33, and winning her age group.  No surprise there!  Welcome back to the game, Ms Terry!

Next on the scoring races is the Mini 10k.  Yes, I’ve already done the email semaphore dance alert that its closing, but here’s one more pitch for it:

Also, for the Yankee or Mets fans, we still have tickets left for the subway series on Weds, May 29th. Tickets are $61 each.  The only thing better than running with the team is sitting around, watching a ball game and drinking with us!  Let me know if you’re interested.  It’ll be a really fun night!

GO ORANGE!
