How has your last 4 weeks or racing gone? Here’s what Mike Wardian has done in the last four consecutive weekends:

Oct 5: TwinCities Marathon  2:21

Oct 11 Hartford Marathon  2:25 (3rd pl)

Oct 19 Tussey Mountainback 50miler 5:46 (1st pl)

Oct 26 MCM Marathon 2:25 (4th pl)

Speaking of the Marine Corps Marathon, Jean wins the 50-55 AG with a 2:53. His ability (like Mike’s) to run any distance from 5k to 100k is incredible.

Big huge shoutout to URP guest Larisa Dannis (who just taught Ethan and I how to use HRMs last month.)  She ran a 50 min PR, 1st female, CR, and possible the fastest 50M run by a female in 20 years at the Fall50 USATF champs this weekend with a 5:59:11. Dang!

It’s not the race that’s dangerous, it’s the driving home part that’ll get ya.
