The weather was a bit muggy for an early June day, but that didn’t seem to hinder three Creek Road Runners this past Sunday out on their home course—Creek Road—in the University of Delaware’s annual Reunion Weekend Blue Hen 5K. Anyway, it was a good day to have a last name beginning with the letter “W.”

In 13th place was CRR Dan Weile, who placed 3rd among the 40-49s in 21:28. And Dean of Arts & Sciences and CRR George Watson, what do you know, came in 2nd in the 60-60 age group in 39:56. We suspect he was walking much of the way, though.

The 11-day-long cloud cover finally broke this morning, as several Creek Road Runners took place in either the Delaware Marathon, Delaware Half-Marathon, or 4-Person Relay at Tubman-Garrett Park in Wilmington.

Weber was the third Delaware resident to finish. CRR Barret Michalec finished 10th among the 35-39s and 46th overall in 3:27:19.

The Creek Road Runners team won the Senior Team division and placed 5th overall (out of 99 teams) in the 4-person relay (four 6.55-mile legs), covering the 26.2-mile distance in 2:53:49. CRR Keith Crispin got the team off to a good start in 42:33; CRR Mark Deshon, the most senior member of the group, turned in a respectable 46:47; CRR Bill Rose ran a 43:17—pretty close to a team-average time; and CRR Bill Farquhar blasted a fast 41:09 anchor leg. The team missed out on a fourth-place overall finish by a mere 16 seconds.

The average age of the four runners was 53, brought down quite a bit by the relative youngsters Crispin and Farquhar.

photo of Bruce Weber running the Big Day 5KRunning on his “home course” in Wilmington, CRR Bruce Weber placed 6th overall in the Big Day 5K and 2nd in the 50-59 age group. The former Harvard track star’s time was a sparkling 19:08 on the out-to-Rockford-Park-and-back course.

Bruce enjoyed the run but wished his two kids had been there to cheer him on. “The race went by my house,” he said, “but neither of my two teenagers could see fit to come out onto the front lawn and cheer on old dad. My wife Teri and dog were there to support me, though.”

Thanks to Teri (and man’s best friend) for the photo.

Seconds, anyone?

New Year’s Day has come and gone, and some even felt the necessity to fit in an initial race. In the local Hangover Helper 5K, a couple age-group awards were won by Creek Road Runners.

Of course, not having run the previous day, she was fresh.

The traditional Thanksgiving Day PNC Bank 10K and 5K races in Wilmington, Del., brought out the best among several Creek Road Runners.

photo of Bruce WeberLeading the way in the 5K was CRR Clark Ridge (no photo available), who placed 9th overall out of 1,785 finishers and won the 35-39 age group in a lightning fast 17:24. Coming in 20th overall was CRR Bruce Weber, who won the 50-54s in a super 18:41, just north of 6 minutes per mile.

photo of Ann Jornlinphoto of Tripp ShentonOn the distaff side, it’s part of their family holiday tradition to run this race, and each year CRR Ann Jornlin seems to be on the podium. This year was no exception, as Ann took second in the 60-64s in 25:03.

In the 10K, CRR Tripp Shenton captured third place among the 55-59s in 50:17.
