LOWELL - In his first Grand Prix race in over a
year, Dan MacAlpine was the fastest North Shore Strider and 1st Senior

The prize for most family members
running in the race (and running well) went to Sean Kay and his three of his children: Alexandra, Sean Jr., and Aidan.

Derby Street Mile
Friday, August 20, 2010
by Mike Pelletier
SALEM - Eric O'Neil was the fastest Strider
at one mile and the 1st M0-19 with John Page close behind as 3rd M0-19.
Demonstrating their breadth of
abilities by dropping in distance from the Marathon to the mile were Dennis
Ryan, Neil Bernstein, Gary Freedman, and Mike Pelletier. Neil was the most
successful of this group, finishing 3rd Male Senior, just behind Rich Tabbut who
was 2nd Male Senior. Gary was 7th Senior. Mike, although the third oldest runner
in the event, was 179th out of 344 overall and 5th Veteran.

SHELBURNE FALLS - Why would you do that, you might ask??

Well, it was the latest stop on the New England USATF Grand Prix Series for the Bridge of Flowers 10K Championship Race. Annajean and I got off to an early start when I met her at 5:00 am at her house and she was ready to go. The race time was 9:00 am and we wanted to make sure we got there in time to pick up our numbers and prepare to run since the estimated driving time out Route 2 was 2 hours and 22 minutes. (Annajean was driving but fortunately she was not seeing double.)
We were blessed with a gorgeous day, some nice rural scenery, and despite a road repair delay we arrived in good time to beat the rush to pick up our numbers and use the bathroom facilities. The temperature was in the low 60s at gun time which was certainly a refreshing change to some of the hot weather we’ve all been running in of late.
I’d been hearing about the monster hill in the middle of the course and it did not disappoint. I held back a little bit during the first 2 miles to give myself a little extra to get over the hill. Despite that I soon found myself cursing before getting very far on the very steep hill that goes on for approximately .7 miles.
