Club Members on the Move!
The cool winds of spring may still have us reaching for our gloves when we step outside, but for many Fast Company members the racing season is well under way. Ray Williams, Dave Nevitt, Brenda Topliss, and Cathy Carter all had strong performances in the Boston Marathon and are busy looking ahead to the next event on the calendar.
Having run a solid 3:04 in Boston on Monday, our favorite ultra runner Dave Nevitt is now resting by the pool in California as he prepares for tomorrow’s Big Sur Marathon. Two marathons in six days? Although local runners know this is nothing unusual for Dave, some may be surprised to learn that he will have plenty of company in this “daring double” – all 400 places in the Boston 2 Big Sur Challenge have been filled. What some people will do for a jacket, arm warmers and a t-shirt!
Ray “the legend” Williams, meanwhile, is well into his training for the Vermont Hundred Mile Endurance Run. After running the Moose Run 25k twice, completing a 6 hour overnight run through the hills of Dartmouth, and brushing up his trail running skills in Musquidobit, Ray is now gearing up for a grueling 60 mile run to Truro. He plans to depart at 4am (the start time of the Vermont race) and run for 12 hours in the direction of Truro. Yours truly will be on hand as a mobile support crew to provide an aid station every 8 miles or so, but the sign-up list for support runners is still open if anyone wants to come along!
