Of the 654 finishers in the third annual Five and Wine 5 Miler in Newark on March 30, two Creek Road Runners imprinted their credentials onto the central-Newark loop course.
CRR Andrew Weber continued his success in local races, finishing third overall and winning the 35-39 age group in 30:03, just a hair above 6-min./mile pace.
CRR Emma Beisheim crossed the line as the second female and 12th finisher overall in 34:25 (6:53/mile) and winning the 25-29 age group.
A fast pair indeed.

Speedster CRR Andrew Weber, who will turn 40 next year, had been chipping away at the goal of running a marathon in under three hours. This past weekend, he accomplished that feat in the City of Brotherly Love, completing the Philadelphia Marathon in 2:59:15. He placed 337th overall out of the 9,509 finishers and 36th in the 35-39 age group.
Besides being a personal-best time for the marathon distance, Weber’s sub-3 finish qualified him for the Boston Marathon.
Well done!

OK, so the course along Creek Road in Newark had to be shortened a bit, race organizers say down to 9.65 miles because of some course deterioration. The Caffé Gelato Waffle Cone Ten Miler still presents a challenging but scenic course each year, a combination of creekside pavement and trails.
On Sunday, CRR Bruce Weber placed 5th overall out of 188 finishers in 1:04:14. An unusually long course for this natural sprinter, Weber won his age group (50-59) and was the second master’s finisher.
CRR Bill Rose finished just off the podium in the same age group, turning in a very respectable 1:07:47 while placing 13th.

The photo may look like she has sprouted wings and an extra pair of legs, but it is just CRR Jo Baird’s strong and determined finishing kick, as YoUDee—the University of Delaware mascot—peers over her shoulder while she finishes the UD Homecoming 5K last Wednesday. Baird was the second overall finisher and top woman, crossing the line in 18:44.
CRR Bruce Weber trailed Baird by just seven seconds, clocking a 18:51 in third place as the top master’s runner. CRR Bill Rose finished 13th overall and took third in the 50-59 age group with a 20:32. CRR Doug Repetti took second place among the 65-69s in 25:21.
CRR Anja Leefeldt took first in the 40-49 age group in 25:29, less than three seconds off the finishing time of the woman who took the top master’s place. (Leefeldt’s chip time was actually three seconds faster than the top master’s chip time, meaning she’ll have to get closer to the starting line in the future.) CRR Becky George took third in the 50-59 age group in 26:34.
Great results for Baird, who was training for the Marine Corps Marathon, and for many of the other Creek Road Runner women at this race. CRR Christine Schultz even raced in her UD-colored Homecoming tutu!
