In a total time of 1:20:59, CRR Doug Repetti was the top competitor in the 65-69 age group, coming in 73rd overall out of 224 in the Top of Delaware Sprint Triathlon, a stiff test in summer heat and humidity. Repetti exited the water after the 1/4-mile swim in 14:44, covered the 11.4-mile hilly bike course in 35:07 (~19.5 mph), and finished off with the 2.6-mile run (up the Reservoir approach road, a wooded loop, the Reservoir loop, down the approach road, and up the steep side of the Reservoir hill) in 28:50.

She swam the quarter mile in 12:00, did the bike leg in 38:51 (~17.6 mph), and finished with a 29:00 run leg. Barton was the 13th female overall.

He completed the duathlon course in 1:15:19. Braun was 23rd on each of the first and third legs (1.5-mile run in 10:56; 2.6-mile run in 26:46), but blasted the bike leg in 35:10 (~19.5 mph), 8th among all duathlon competitors.

Congratulations! The three of you made us Creek Road Runners proud.

Each set a new PR for this tough quarter-mile swim, 11.4-mile bike, 2.6-mile run course.

Though he came out of the water quite a bit behind relative to how he finished, Repetti was strong on the bike leg (26th), averaging nearly 19.8 mph.

Braun came in 3rd in her age group (50-54) in 1:22:08, placing 122nd overall and 25th among the women. She, too, performed very well on the bike portion (108th), averaging just over 17.1 mph. She PR’d by nearly 10 minutes on this course.

Well done, both of you.

Rock & Roll fantasy

The Newark Morning Rotary Rock & Roll 5K was a fantasy of sorts—a unique opportunity to run on the cushy, well-manicured grass of the Newark Country Club’s golf course on Saturday. It was a no-frills event but a fun time, nevertheless, with the popular local band Club Phred playing before, during, and after the race. A few Creek Road Runners excelled.

CRR Bob Taggart (60+) and CRR Mary Braun (50-59) took age-group seconds, Taggart coming in with a 26:09 and Braun not too far behind in 26:36.

An honorable mention of sorts goes to husband and wife CRR Dave Schultz (23:06) and CRR Christine Schultz (24:58), who each placed third in the 40-49 age group. It was a true family affair for the Schultzes, with daughter Lawson taking second and son Ben taking third among the 13-and-unders.

Several Creek Road Runners came out to support the fight against ALS in memory of CRR Scott Mackler on Sunday. Six took home accolades.

German finished a whisker (six-tenths of a second) ahead of Rose; they took 6th and 7th overall, respectively, out of 266 finishers.
