Making great strides (no pun intended) recently in lowering his 5K times, 57-year-old CRR Bruce Weber punched through the 19-minute threshold in the 10th Annual Cindy Foundation Ovarian Cancer Research 5K in Wilmington, held on September 23.

Weber’s time was 18:43, just a couple seconds over a 6-minute-per-mile pace, lopping off nearly 45 seconds in his 5K times since early summer! He placed second overall and was the first masters finisher in this lightly contested race.

The younger Weber (no relation) won the race outright among 352 finishers.

And on this bright, beautiful fall morning, CRR Mark Deshon got to watch the race roll right by his house and cheer on the competitors.

Top of Delaware Triathlon logoOn Sunday, August 19, the annual Top of Delaware Triathlon was contested. This grueling sprint triathlon comprises a 750m swim in the scenic Newark Reservoir, a hilly 20K bike, and a combo paved-surface/trail 5K, culminating with a dreadful climb to the finish. Four Creek Road Runners met and conquered the challenge this year.

photo of Steve TagueOur crew was led by 59-year-old CRR Steve Tague, who finished 12th overall out of 158 finishers, in 1:11:35. Tague’s splits were 13:59 swim (12th), 35:21 bike (19th), and 21:02 run (18th), each very solid times. He placed second in the 55-59 age group.

Right behind Tague (taking third) in the same age group was 58-year-old CRR Mark Wise, who finished 17th overall in 1:13:58. Wise’s splits were 14:59 swim (24th), 32:53 bike (7th, wow!), and 23:35 run (55th).

photo of Doug RepettiWinning the 65-69 age group was 68-year-old Top of Delaware veteran CRR Doug Repetti, who finished 92nd overall in 1:32:34, turning in splits of 22:50, 41:16, and 26:03, respectively.

Last, but certainly not least, was first-time triathlete CRR Tom Olson. The 61-year-old Olson finished 123rd overall but was 8th among those who were completing their first triathlon, clocking in at 1:39:07. His splits were 19:19, 43:28, and 31:59, respectively.

Not too shabby for a quartet of our senior runners! Congratulation, one and all.

Broad Street Run logoThough the Philadelphia Flyers are out of the playoffs, there were still some Creek Road Runners who were definitely flying down Broad Street yesterday, taking no prisoners in the annual Broad Street Run Ten Miler in Philly.

photo of Bill FarquharCRR Bill Farquhar led the way with a stellar 59:45, finishing in 194th place in the field of about 50,000 runners and placing 3rd in the 50-54 age group! This sub-6:00/mile performance legitimized his tactic of saving energy last weekend during the Delaware Marathon Relay. His performance yesterday at Broad Street age-graded to an 82.4, which is considered “national class.”

Our newest Creek Road Runner, 25-year-old CRR Jo Baird, tore up the course in a fast 1:05:34, finishing an amazing 69th among all women and 553rd overall.

Following after Baird were 51-year-old CRR Keith Crispin, who ran a 1:06:51, and 67-year-old CRR Doug Repetti, who posted a 1:23:45, each a terrific time for his respective age.

CRR Mary Braun held up her end in the 55-59s, picking up a 3rd place finish in 27:13 in the 5K.
