Two marathons in two weekends and a move to an entirely different city, yet still finishing 2nd Overall Female, Elizabeth Burch @lizzyannburch ran the Potomac River Run Marathon in 3:17:41!
🦊🦊🦊
We're aiming at a sub 3:10 now but the Spring heat didn't allow for it this time. She eased off the gas pedal knowing it was a bit too hot for a PR but still impressed regardless. Elizabeth is due for some recovery but she'll be back fairly quickly with some new numbers to chase.
🦊🦊🦊
Awesome job AGAIN, Elizabeth!

Despite the warm conditions (84% humidity) at the

Despite the warm conditions (84% humidity) at the Lincoln Half and Full Marathon, Brett Nickisch @bknick and Brian Hoffart @hoffs_insta put together some really great races.
🦊🦊🦊
Brett, picked up 3rd place Overall Female, running a 3 minute best in 3:07:30 for the Marathon!!! When she finished, her description of the race was, "That was rough." She's so tough and I think she ran a really smart race. We know she'll pull more time off in the future judging by her other PRs but she did really, really well fighting this one out
🦊🦊🦊
Brian has been in amazing shape for a while now too with near PRs in 5k races and a workout in which he probably could've run a 5k best twice over. He pulled a large 80 seconds off his Half Marathon time, running a 1:23:30. I think he'll drop another 90 seconds off if we got him some cooler air. He's been a workhorse all year.
🦊🦊🦊
We're so proud of these two and what they have done within this time of little racing. They know how to work for what they want and they'll get the results because they deserve it. Great job you two!

A very highly deserved half marathon PR at the KC

A very highly deserved half marathon PR at the KC Endurance Half Marathon and 5k; in fact the only PR due to the heat. Clayton Rainey @runninfool75 pulled a couple minutes off his best, running it in 1:33:59!
🦊🦊🦊
He's been chipping away at some good mileage and some massive workouts all Winter and Spring. In the process he's even dropped his 5k down to 19:23 which he hadn't seen since high school (his adult PR). Clayton always comes with the best attitude and works hard no matter the weather or how he's feeling.
🦊🦊🦊
Great job, Clayton! More to be had.

Laura Eakin @runningeakin is a champ! This morning

Laura Eakin @runningeakin is a champ! This morning she picked up a new 5k PR of 18:15 (9 sec) all by herself since she won't be able to fit it into her busy weekend schedule! I'm positive with some additional competition she will crack an 18 minute 5k.
🦊🦊🦊
Only a few days prior she hammered out a 5th place Overall Female finish at the @trolleyrun with a killer time of 23:16 (5:49 mile pace).
🦊🦊🦊
Look for her to hit some longer races in the near future (Hospital Hill Half). Awesome job, Laura!

Extending his range, Bryant Kurtz thought he'd try his hand at the Flatrock 50k last weekend. He delivered quite well, earning a 6th place finish and running the tough course in 6:20:26 on his very first ultra event!
🦊🦊🦊
Bryant has been fun to watch as he's run some other PRs during time trials in 1 mile (5:34) and 5k (19:03)...including a track 5k that he volunteered to hurt for 12.5 laps. Always positive and always looking ahead. Bryant is one of a kind.
🦊🦊🦊
Way to go, Bryant!

After having to take the entire Winter off from any running, Kai Somasegaran has quickly found his fitness again this past weekend with a 5:53 mile (10 sec PR).
🦊🦊🦊
Kai has pulled off a whopping 20 seconds from his mile within just 3 races and inching his way back to the front of the pack. With big chunks of time taken off like that, we know he's got more coming.
🦊🦊🦊
Awesome job, Kai!

Your Top City Half Marathon winner Jennifer Kongs

Your Top City Half Marathon winner Jennifer Kongs @jkongo!!!
She cruised in with a time of 1:30:50 on a rolling course and some north headwinds.
🦊🦊🦊
Jennifer is super strong. I think on a flatter, less windy route, she's in shape for a sub 1:29...no pressure. With a few more races under her legs, she'll get it. We're just getting warmed up.
🦊🦊🦊
Stellar job, Jennifer!

Sarah Hagar-York @sarahnicoleyork just smashed through her old half marathon best at the Clinton Half Marathon last weekend. She took 3.5 minutes off, running it in 1:55:24! She had her day coming.
🦊🦊🦊
Sarah has been doing some awesome stuff this whole past year. 30 mile weeks used to be her maximum, but she's worked her way up to some upper 40 and 50 mile weeks while feeling good doing it. We've had a lot of fun with her joining our crew as she is a very positive individual and always looking to improve herself. I'd say it rubs off on others more than she is aware of.
🦊🦊🦊
Congrats on the new PR, Sarah! Now that the ball is rolling, there will be more to follow.

Elizabeth Burch @lizzyannburch totally deserved th

Elizabeth Burch @lizzyannburch totally deserved this one. She's been looking for a marathon PR for a while now and she finally did it, pulling 4 solid minutes off at the Last Chance BQ2 Marathon in Chicago. It wasn't JUST a PR though...she picked up 4th overall female and a fast 3:10:34!
🦊🦊🦊
We've been meeting Elizabeth at 5:45am every Tuesday for some big workouts, she's dialed in her fueling, and she's had some massive long run workouts that left me knowing that her race was just going to be a continuation of what she's done in practice. In my mind, this is just a stepping stone to more big time jumps.
🦊🦊🦊
We are so so proud of you Elizabeth. Huge congrats to you!

A rough start to the Spring Training Cycle, Connor

A rough start to the Spring Training Cycle, Connor Hollrah @chollrah1858 still came out on top with a half marathon PR of a whole minute! He ran a 1:34:42 at the GO St. Louis Half.
🦊🦊🦊
Originally Connor was going to be doing the full Marathon but a hamstring strain and some Covid derailed his training for a few weeks. Luckily he spent a good chunk of the winter months with strong workouts under him that he's still in better shape than a year ago. Connor also plays soccer which could be a supplement and detriment at the same time as his fitness is good but his calves are always black and blue.
🦊🦊🦊
Either way, this was a win and clearly he's got some bigger chunks of time coming off in the near future. Awesome job, Connor!

Huge congrats to Jordan Loeb for crushing a new 5K

Huge congrats to Jordan Loeb for crushing a new 5K PR! Jordan has been trying to crack the 18 minute mark and ran a 17:55 tonight! His previous PR was 18:24. Jordan has been increasing his volume over the last several months and has had some pretty stellar workouts leading up to this. We can't wait to see what he does in the half marathon! 🦊
