Run for All Ages 5K

Saturday, November 7, 2009
WAKEFIELD -Twenty-two Striders toed the starting line on Saturday
morning for the second-to-last race in the 2009 Strider Grand Prix. Bringing
home the gold (metaphorically speaking) were three Strider women: Sue Quimby,
Sue Besse, and Lauren Hamilton. Annajean McMahon finished second in her age
group, while Kate Gage, Nancy Giannone, and Nancy Wilson each finished third.
Making a return to running after spending at least six
months cycling was Bill Kobus. Bill ran away with second place in the race among
the NSS seniors behind Lanse Stover who is having a great year after training
with Coach Fernando Braz on the track. I wouldn't be surprised if Bill finishing
between Lanse and Tom McMahon created a three way tie for first among NSS senior
men.

East Boston Savings Bank Challenge 5k/11k
by Mike Pelletier Sunday, November 1, 2009
PEABODY - Sean Kay and Sue Quimby led the way in the
11 K with Frank Lanzillo in the middle. Joe, Vicky, Aj, and Tom
were still recovering from running the Baystate Marathon two weeks ago, but Joe
ran full tilt as always and earned second place among men 60+. Vicky and
the McMahon twins barely broke a sweat in finishing in a three-way tie on
time, but Vicky was left singing, "Why was I born too late?" when the
twins scooped up first place trophies in their respective age groups. Joining
them on the medal stand was Bob Holland, a surprise second place finisher
among senior men, thanks to recent modifications in training. Mario and
Armand are dutifully training to run the longer distances in December at
the Mill Cities Relay while George works on his speed. The word among the
NSS veteran runners is that Mario and Armand are right on target.

LOWELL - Mike Pelletier found the following weather information in Lowell during the race. However, they are merely numbers and don't really convey what it was like out there on the course! The following personal stories written by Strider runners give a more "graphic" picture.
Conditions: an hour into the race, the temperature begins to drop; the wind picks up; and the rain begins and steadily increases.

Sunday, September 20, 2009
GLOUCESTER - Twenty-six Striders raced in Gloucester on Sunday at the
Lone Gull 10K. This year the Lone Gull 10 K served as the New England
Championship 10K Race so you know that the best runners in New England were
there among the 777 finishers. The best individual performances by Striders were
turned in by veteran woman Anita Robboy who finished as silver medalist
in the 10K New England Championship and by Betsy O'Brine's son
Alex Greco who finished 4th in the 19-and-under division. Sue Quimby was the
fastest female Strider and Dean Malerba was the fastest male.

LOWELL - The North Striders were well represented at this race on a day that started out cool and cloudy, but by race time became sunny and in the 70s. A 19 year old young man named Julien Di Maria from Paris, France set a very fast pace and won with a time of 15:08 which is a nice 4:53 pace. I don’t know if I could have done that at age 19 because I never tried. However, I kind of doubt it anyway!
We did have some Striders who gave performances of note. Everyone, of course, has their own story, but, unfortunately, I don’t know all of them. So, I’ll just have to mention a few.
