Great results from the Fleet Feet team's first real venture into xc. We had a full men's veteran age group team at each of the five races in the Upstate NY series. We finished in third place overall, narrowly defeating Syracuse. The final race of 5 miles was run at FingerLakes Community College on a windy (up to 30mph), cold(37) day on a wet course.
The highlight was Lou K. completing the race with his reading glasses loosely hanging from his race shirt. Think how fast Lou would have run if he hadn't been so engrossed in his copy of "Once a Runner" by John L. Parker?
Special efforts during the race were made by Mike ivehadacoldallweekW, Frank Greatmyfamilygavemetheflu and Joe SprinttillyoudropK.
Mytriathletewife ran all 5 races and secured a ninth overall spot in the women's masters division, earning a tech top shirt. Dennis M, our lead dog at every race, finished fifth in the vet division, also earning a shirt.
Best of all, the team owners drove to the race to cheer us on and cook breakfast for all of us when we were finished!
