CRR Bill Rose led the way at the Blue Hens Homecoming 5K yesterday, finishing as the first masters runner and winning the 50-59 age group in 20:27. There were three other Creek Road Runners, among the many who competed, who each won his/her age division.
CRR Mark Deshon and CRR Jen Pyle dominated the 60-69s, with winning times of 22:36 and 30:12, respectively. CRR John Bishop, in a rare race appearance, won the 70-79 age group in 36:05.
CRR Anja Leefeldt took 2nd in the 40-49 age group with a 25:34, CRR Becky George took 2nd in the 50-59s with a 25:54, and CRR Bob Opila took 3rd among the 60-69s in 26:34.
After several years effectively out of competition due to medical issues (including one serious bike accident), CRR Steve Tague is unequivocally back! Yesterday, he led the way for the other eight Creek Road Runners at the Top of Delaware Sprint Triathlon, placing 14th overall out of 271 finishers. He won the men’s 55-59 age group in 1:04:54, placing 17th in the quarter-mile swim, 12th in the 11.4-mile bike (averaging just over 20 mph on the hilly course!), and 32nd in the 2.6-mile run at the Newark Reservoir and Mayor Redd Park trails, which includes a final 30-yard incline straight up the side of the reservoir hill (that’s serious theater).
