February 5, 2012 was a great day despite having some of the warmest temperatures and highest humidity seen in many years in Tallahassee.Race conditions:
Start of the race: 60 F with 96% humidity
Noon: 71 F with 76% humidity
TriAttic had 7 athletes run the 13.1 mile 1/2 Marathon and 3 athletes run the 26.2 mile Marathon.
Jo Curry takes the award for most improved 13.1 time. Setting a new PR of 2:01:00, Jo took off 20 minutes and 37 seconds from her most recent 1/2 Marathon, way to go!
Brian Bazinet, Karen Munoz, Bryan Desloge, and Laura Register all had great races and enjoyed the day.
Team Member Bob Keller continues to push forward in his goal of finishing 1000 races, despite his aches and pains along the way. Bob you are a true inspiration and real reason so many participate in endurance sports!
Congratulations to first time finisher, Nathan Rhodes. Nathan finished the Tallahassee Marathon in a time of 4:06:20. What you may not know is that Nathan had only been cleared to exercise in late October from a serious bike crash that happened over the summer of 2011. Congratulations Nathan and welcome to the 26.2 mile club!
Charlie Johnson had the fastest 26.2 mile time for local athletes. His time of 2:45:10 brought him across the tape in 7th overall. Congratulations Charlie on your 5th place Male Open Division! You are a true inspiration to all of us. Your hard work and dedication shows in your performances.
I had the best run I could have asked for. I set a new Marathon PR of 3:42:49 and won the F25-29 age group. I could not have done this without the support from everyone on the course. The volunteers were awesome, the support from friends and family was terrific and seeing everyone at the finish line cheering put the icing on the cake!
Again, congratulations to everyone who finished the 13.1 and 26.2.
