SENIORS – 4 needed
Paul Togas – 53
Sal Martinez – 53
Art Sanchez – 53
Jerome Woehl – 61
SUPER SR – 3 needed
Greg Burke – 60
Bill Bengivino – 62
Leno Fabela – 64
WOMEN OPEN – 5 needed
Claire Saxton – 29
Rhoda Mirabeau – 52
Susan Hu – 43
It was good to see a couple new faces out there. One being a WOMAN! Rhoda Mirebeau joined the ladies, so now we are over half way to having a team. Since the age group would be that of the youngest member, we probably wouldn’t score too well, but, hey, we would be on the scoreboard. Claire continued her speedy ways, leading all but two of the Spartans. Only Jose Pina and David Wooldruff could best her.
Paul King was a new male runner. A young guy! Nice to see him out there. If we had had ONE more male to help that team of Jose Jr, Paul and the older guys filling down, we would have had an open team – that would be a first time ever event for as far back as I can remember.
We did field a mens’ seniors team, thanks to Art limping in on a sprained ankle. At least he didn’t get lost this time. But gee Art, spraining your ankle by picking up your shirt after practice. Now THAT is lame. Pat B raced a mountain lion last week. Would have caught him but sprained his ankle. Now THAT is a macho reason for not running. Filling the Seniors’ last spot was the last Spartan, me – I proved once again that a lot of bicycling doesn’t much help running. And again we had a Super Seniors team. they are in about third in the standings. Don’t ask how many teams are in that age group – the old guys probably could hear you ask, and if they did, they wouldn’t remember.
