March 10th & 11th Results

The long part of this two-part weekend came first, on Saturday. Nine teammates joined the Eugene Marathon’s preview run, with several of us going the longest distance ever. Thanks to Richard Maher and crew for hosting this event.

The shorter run came on “spring-forward” Sunday. Thanks to Lindsey for opening the store, after going 13.1 miles with Saturday’s preview. And to Russell, Tim, Scott and Dean for helping on the course.

SATURDAY’S EUGENE PREVIEW RUN

(official course was about 13 miles, with most of our runners adding distance; paces listed here are for the “13” portion and are misleading because lengths varied somewhat and because of stoplight time, which won’t be a problem on race day)

Gabe – 2-hour walk

Bill – 15.1 miles (9:54 pace for 13)

Amy – 9.0 miles in 1:26:30 (9:26s)
