November was quite a solid racing month for the =PR= race team, starting off with several members of the team competing in the New York City Marathon.  Congrats to all finishing the tough course! 

 

Results are below:

The following weekend, Dave Miller ran the Richmond Marathon, finishing 21st overall.  Dave was on a PR pace but had some stomach cramps the last 10K but still finished in a respectable 2:45.  He was on 2:32 pace for most of the race. 

 

That same weekend the team also competed in the Veterans Day 10K on November 13.  This was a bit of a last minute pull off as many runners were still beat up from fall marathons, and the team did very well considering so.  Chris Sloane led the team in 32:15 placing 8th overall for the men, while Wendi Robinson finished 5th overall for the women in 36:45.  =PR= store owner Ray Pugsley(32:44) finished 13th, and Andrew Ciarfalia ran a HUGE 2 minute PR of 33:37.  Nancy Eiring also ran for the team and finished in 41:52.  Together, the team placed 3rd overall out of 18 teams.

 

That same morning, Curtis Cox also won a 5k in 15:07 near his hometown in Trinidad.

 

On Thanksgiving morning, Chris Sloane ran the Turkey Chase 10K in Bethesda, MD, and finished 3rd overall in 32:37.   

 

And most recently, triathlete Peggy Yetman competed at the Ironman Cozumel, scoring BIG with a win in her age group(40-44) in a new PR time of 10:03 and a ticket punched to Kona 2012!  Way to go Peggy!
