Bruce enjoyed the run but wished his two kids had been there to cheer him on. “The race went by my house,” he said, “but neither of my two teenagers could see fit to come out onto the front lawn and cheer on old dad. My wife Teri and dog were there to support me, though.”

Thanks to Teri (and man’s best friend) for the photo.

“Icemen,”…well not really

Normally, the annual mid-January Icicle Ten Miler in Wilmington is as much a challenge due to the weather and conditions as it is because of the distance. This year was a big El Niño exception. Warm temperatures may have even caused some problems in the other direction. Not so for two “Icemen,” though.

CRR Doug Repetti took 2nd in the 65-69s, placing 107th overall, with a 1:21:32. Repetti was just 8 seconds off winning his age group outright. Congratulations to both of you.

Seconds, anyone?

New Year’s Day has come and gone, and some even felt the necessity to fit in an initial race. In the local Hangover Helper 5K, a couple age-group awards were won by Creek Road Runners.

Of course, not having run the previous day, she was fresh.

CRR Mark Deshon enjoys the end of another completed “Wring Out the Old, Ring in the New.”

The powerful El Niño that is in play this winter in the U.S. made this—the 17th annual “Wring Out the Old, Ring in the New”—trail run at Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area one of the most comfortable, if not the most, in the history of the event, weather-wise. Despite two days of rain leading up to today, the course was not nearly as muddy as it could have been.

For the third consecutive year, the event attendance record was broken. With the addition of 11 “newbies,” a record 25 people (and one eager canine) came out to run/jog/walk all or part of the loop course.
