Other notables: CRR Jay Coughenour ran a 1:31:24*, which is a good time for most, but he was obviously not running at his full potential. CRR Ryan German ran with Simmons most of the way but pulled ahead to finish in 1:38:10*.

photo of Tripp Shenton after Yeungling Shamrock MarathonPRBQ—What could be better at age 53! And no four-leaf clover required.

That’s probably what CRR Tripp Shenton is feeling like today. He ran the Yeungling Shamrock Marathon, held today in Virginia Beach, in a personal best (PR) of 3:28:59. That time was also a Boston-qualifier (BQ) for Shenton, a professor of civil engineering at the University of Delaware. He finished among the top 10 percent of the field, placing 277th out of 2788 finishers. Plus, what could be cooler than having your name printed right above your race number?

Congratulations! On to Boston.

photo of Henry GlydeUniversity of Delaware’s Unidel Professor of Physics and Astronomy and longtime CRR Henry Glyde was recently named a fellow of the Neutron Scattering Society of America for his research, which focuses on neutron scattering, low-temperature physics, and quantum fluids and solids. See story.

A native of Canada, Glyde has been running in this area for more than three decades. CRR Mark Deshon recalls meeting Glyde in the early 1980s. “He would run intervals with CRR Bob Bennett and me on the Newark High track, and neither of us could keep up with him for the entire workout. His last name accurately describes how easily he ran on the track.”

The following is a submission from CRR Dan Simmons about the recent trip he and his wife took to the Galapagos Islands and Peru. In his own words…

Sue and I splurged and took the trip of a lifetime in Jan-Feb. We flew to Guayaquil, Ecuador, for three days and then joined a National Geographic Expedition to the Galapagos.

If you’ve taken a similar trip recently, perhaps to another continent or a CRR outpost in another country, let us know.  Tell us about your trip.
