At least four Creek Road Runners recently poured their all into the spring’s longer, marquis running events—the Caesar Rodney Half Marathon and the Boston Marathon.

At age 37, CRR Barret Michalec led the way with an impressive 1:29:10, finishing 27th overall out of 612 competitors, while 65-yr.-old CRR Doug Repetti (65-69) ran a 1:50:26, and 63-yr.-old CRR Jon Fletcher finished in 2:06:03 (2:04:57 chip).

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.
