Congratulations to our newest Creek Road Runner, CRR Aaron Ward, on completing the local North East Triathlon this past Sunday, August 23, in 2:57:50.

This triathlon was an Olympic-distance event, comprising a 1.5K swim, 40K bike, and 10K run. Ward finished 9th out of 14 competitors in the men’s 45-49 age group and was 42nd out of the 96 men who finished. Having been beaten by five women, he placed 47th overall out of the field of 128.

Following a bay swim, the bike leg was hilly, winding through much of the Elk Neck State Forest.

Here’s how Ward described his 10K. “Run was… semi-hilly, but my quad discomfort from the bike slowly melted away into my hamstrings. Water stations every mile and a few energy gels propelled me to the finish line while my family cheered me on.”

Ward’s split times were as follows:
Swim—41:15; Transition 1—3:48; Bike—1:18:10; Transition 2—2:44; Run—51:53

“Feeling good this morning and eyeing up another triathlon… possibly later this fall,” Ward concluded. “Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend Kinetic [the event organizer] for anyone interested in a first-time triathlon.”

Well done!

Adding yet another completed summer triathlon to his bag, CRR Steve Tague competed in the USA Olympic Distance Triathlon Nationals in Milwaukee on Sunday, August 9.

Having competed in the nationals at least once before, the 66-year-old Tague simply wanted to “tri” it again, while he felt he still could. Well, he definitely showed well, finishing in the top third (taking 18th place out of the 58 male registrants) in his five-year age group.

Tague swam the 1.5K length in 25:15, an impressive 5th among his age-group peers; biked the 40K course in 1:13:29 (a 20.4 mph average), 17th best in his age group; and ran the 10K in 57:39, 34th among his peer group. Adding transition times of 2:52 and 2:10, respectively, his total time for the event was 2:41:22.

Always a serious competitor, Tague admitted his showing in the 10K hurt his overall placement. He commented, “I did okay. Great swim, average bike, and poor run. No excuses…was healthy, good conditions, just not enough training to be [as] competitive [as he wanted]. Still glad I went, as it was mostly fun until mile 3 of the run.”

We think “I did okay” is simply an understatement! Congratulations on yet a third olympic-distance triathlon in less than three months.

CRR Bruce Weber, back in town to run in his former “back yard,” bested the men in the 60-69 category in the 10K in 43:27 (chip time). Weber finished 16th overall.

Among the 60-69 women in the 5K, CRR Mary Braun won her second age group crown within a week in 28:33 (chip time), following her Turkey Trot win on the previous Saturday.

Well done, both of you.

For 50 years, the Turkey Trot races have been a local Thanksgiving tradition. On the Saturday before Thanksgiving thousands have toed the line over the years in a spirit of comraderie and competition. It was no different this year, on the event’s golden anniversary.

Two Creek Road Runners doubled their pleasure, running both the 10K and the 5K, and taking age-group honors in so doing.

CRR Dan Weile celebrated his first year in a new age group by winning the 50-54 division in 46:26 in the 10K and placed third in his division in the 5K with a time of 24:09. Ever ready to take on both races was CRR Doug Repetti, who took first place among his peers in each race, topping the 70+ division with a 56:02 10K and the 70-74 division with a 28:11 5K.

Repetti and CRR Bruce Hubbard and CRR April Anderson were each quoted in the Newark Post story about the event.

Hubbard and Anderson, both in their upper 70s, walked the 5K course, continuing their own tradition of participation in this local moving celebration. Hubbard placed 3rd among the 75-79s, and had there been a parallel division for women in the 5K, the 78-year-old Anderson would have won. As it was, she finished 4th in the 70+ women’s division.

It has been a profitable early season for CRR Diane Kukich, who has been targeting Delaware age-group records since she turned 70 this past February.

Having already eclipsed the 5K and 15K records in March and April, respectively, Kukich completed her trifecta within the 70-74 age group on May 14 by setting a new state record in the 10K at the St. Michael’s (Md.) Running Festival. Her time was 53:25, smashing the 2016-set mark by 55 seconds.

Kukich now holds four of the 17 state age-group records that are held by Creek Road Runners and admits that “three records in three months was intense.”

Next, she’ll be setting her sights on and training for her first marathon, which she wants to run and “just finish” on November 3.
