This years Stew Chase race went without incident. Should we have postponed for lack of good winter conditions????? No snow, ice, zero temps. Just a great day for a winter run. There was a slight breeze, 50% overcast skies and 35 degree temps. Thanks to the 'army' of volunteers that helped (must have at least 60 overall). There were 208 pre-entrant and 199 post. This has been the recent trend. Runners are waiting to see how the weather is. They may miss the opportunity to purchase a race shirt but, oh well!!!" A large group of CRC'ers recognized a good racing day when they saw one and made the trek to Lynn. Results are as follows (hope we didn't miss anyone): Name Time Overall Place Age Group Place Pace Francois Le Sellier 56:39 24 17 6:05 Marcello Scippa 58:40 38 26 6:18 Joyce Rosenthal 1:02:39 74 2 6:44 Dave Quilty 1:06:02 116 21 7:05 Molly Turner 1:06:47 124 4 7:10 Janice Smaga 1:11:45 181 4 7:42 Ron Trippett 1:12:45 195 18 7:49 Ginny Carlin 1:13:15 203 11 7:52 Anne Mazzotta 1:15:11 234 21 8:04 Karen Claire 1:22:36 306 40 8:52 Other February Races February 10: Alden Invitational Track Meet (Providence, RI) Bruce Davie reports: "Peter Gallimore and I represented CRC at the Alden invitational track meet at Brown University on Sunday. We both ran in the 800m, but Peter had the dubious privilege of running in the USATF-NE championship race, which was won in 1:51.14. (World indoor record, for comparison, is 1:42.67) Peter ran 2:03, just off his recent best (but maybe an indoor PR?). I ran in the 'unseeded' heats, and managed third in my heat, running a PR of 2:07.33. Memories of my former life as a track runner are getting a bit rusty, but I think I set my old PR (2:08) in 1980, when I was exactly half my current age. CRC must be some sort of antidote to aging!" February 22: New England Limited Track Meet (Boston) Bruce Davie reports: "A couple of CRC runners turned out for a small USATF-sponsored meet at BU on Sunday. Bob Gillon showed the benefit of some focussed training and not running a 1500m race beforehand, to run a PR in the 3000m of 9:41.38. In the 800m, Peter Gallimore ran a well-paced race to set a PR of 2:00.89."
