Strong showing of the MITcrc club: Ron runs a breath ahead of the 3:00 pacer to finish at 2:59:40 ! And Paul qualifies for Boston with a 3:28:24 (all Chip times!)
Boaz, a minute behind the 4:00 pace setter, fights the pains to set a new PR 4:01:08 . (Notice that as Boaz passes the half point at the Los Gatos High School track, that (second) 4:00 pacer is there waiting to go). Janna at her first Half keeps up with the (first) 4:00 pacer to finish at an impressive 1:59:53 (Chip Time)
Scott and Kate (with maybe some 50 marathons between them) inspire newbies Pam, Michelle and Brent to successfully complete their first marathon!
Janna holds a sub 9 minute pace; Hilla dedicates her run in loving memory to Rina Furst, her mom:
Orna and Yishay raise the MITcrc bars to new heights:
Scott went alone to represent MITcrc in that race; the club dared him to run this race au naturel ; did he actually run in his birthday suit ? We got one shot from behind; it isn't that clear, judge for yourself; however he did cross the finish line fully attired.
Only one week after Big-Sur, Boaz travels up north to represent the club in another scenic marathon:
The club was well represented by Orna, Yishay, Kate (only two weeks after Boston!) and Boaz in this beautiful coastal run:
The Club celebrates 5 years -- Kate returns to the race and the place where MITcrc was founded
Kate considers this race as a "training run" for Boston:
Orna on her first marathon sets an amazing time (and best MITcrc female record) of 3:57:56 !!
Boaz follows behind, setting a new PR ( 4:09:00 ). Yishay takes on the Half.
Scott takes on the toughest three day triathlon (Kayak 9.00 Bike 72.00 Run 26.20) and finishes first in the Masters division!!
Kate joins Scott for the full Marathon
Marco and Daniel doing a half each, while Kate and Scott going all the way ...
Ellen, Orna, Yoni and Yishay celebrated the "Woodstock of all triathlons" among 7500 other competitors (and 40,000 spectators), braving the waters of Lake San Antonio and the steep hills around it.
Scott honors MITcrc at this tough run with a great result -- 4:45:34 listed, but 4:43 on his chip (thus finally proving Einstein's theorem: "If you move at an amazing speed, your clock would tick slower than a stationary clock !!")
