CRR Bruce Weber
OK, so the photographer may have not had the proper setting. Or, more likely, CRR Bruce Weber was just going too darn fast to prevent image blurring. Let’s just say it was a case of the “Crimson flash.”
Along with other speedsters, Weber (Harvard class of 1984, you do the math) competed in Cambridge, Mass., yesterday in the 2105 Ivy League Alumni Mile Run, coming in eighth overall in a time of 5:35.63. Weber was the oldest runner to finish in the top ten (note: four of the top five runners were under 25 years old).
Weber had been seen recently on the upper-level “track” at Carpenter Sports Building doing straightaway pick-ups. Guess it paid off.

“I was pretty happy; it was the best 5K time I had run in over 20 years,” CRR Paul Amer gushed, after having placed third in his age group (60-64) at the Run the the Plunge 5K in Rehoboth Beach recently. Amer turned in a 26:14 and now has his sights set on the Caesar Rodney Half Marathon next month.
Shown here in the photo with a friend, Amer (bib #1) says, with tongue in cheek, “I haven’t been so highly seeded ever!”
Waxing philosophical about this recent accomplishment, Amer adds, “It pays not to have an impressive history. Then 26+ minutes makes you happy.”
Those of us who are getting up there in years would do well to look for these kind of silver linings!
