Greater Springfield Harriers Fast Feet

Summer Sizzler #2
April 23, 2014
5K Cross Country Race

Race Report - Wednesday, 4/23/2014

A little blustery tonight as the Harriers ran their first 5K of the season. Grey skies, wind gusts of
25-40 mph; my Weather Channel app claimed temps were in the low fifties, but the loyal volunteer
staff was bundled up in layers, looking a bit like Jon Snow in the Night's Watch.

Tonight's race was a real Carroll-palooza, with Bill snapping the tape in 21:25, Julie winning the women's
division in 23:33, and patriarch Ed finishing in the top ten.

Thanks as always to the volunteers: Brian Goddu, Bruce Kurtz, Ed Carrol, Kathy McCarthy,
and RD emeritus Mike "3:09:02" Lescarbeau

Hope to see everyone again in a week for the 8K; let's hope the weather improves.

  • 1st male: Bill Carroll 21:25
