Kurt Wente @ Run to Win

Back Cove Start The Weekly Back Cove Race Series is now 15 weeks in, with 1 more month of races remaining.

There have been 6 different winners in the past 3 weeks since my last update. Emily Durgin (19:10) and Curtis Wheeler (16:56) won on August 8^th. Matt Lunt (17:20) and Kristen Sweeney (20:24) won on August 12^th. Kurt Wente (17:40) and Marita Stressenger won on August 19^th.

Curtis Wheeler has (not surprisingly) taken over the leaderboard with a cumulative time of 1:44:06, 47 seconds ahead of Scott Gorneau. Abbey Gosling has only run once in the past 3 weeks and did not drop her cumulative time of 1:54:10 at all, but she still maintains a comfortable 13 minute lead.

Only 2 people remain who have run every single race so far this year.

I have not gotten to the race at all in the past 3 weeks, nor have I been running. My foot is getting better, but is not well enough to run on yet.

Under some blue skies and lots of wind, there were 161 runners out in the 70 degree temperatures for tonight’s Back Cove 5k.

Scott Gorneau ran it in with Kurt Wente in 17:18 and 17:28 (respectively); this is Scott’s second race this season after having not run since the first week.

Abbey Gosling had a slightly larger lead in the women’s race, finishing faster than 2 minutes over Lilian Childress with a time of 19:11.

Now that it has been six weeks, that means that there is finally a leader board! You can now compare how you are doing against everybody else that has run at least six of the races.

The initial leaderboard isn’t quite as large as last year’s 22 members, but there’s still over 6 times as many people that have run the initial 6 races over 2007. 10 men and 3 women have made their way onto the board, with Dino DeSanctis leading the series and Alissa Poisson becoming the early front runner for the women.

I’ve only run half of the races so far this year, sadly. (I did get a good track workout in with my team tonight though.)
