Pulling the singlet down from the rafters...
Many thought he had retired to run the quiet trails of Anacortes to search for Sasquatch, or to ponder the relevancy of the yield curve in the 21st century world economy. But no, Dan McLean dusted off the singlet and returned to the starting line last weekend to win the Tunnel Light Marathon in 2:30:26. Was it a one-time occurrence or will lightning strike twice?
Some quality work on Labor Day!
Congrats to Greg Leak, Trevor LaFontaine and Kate Landau who set lifetime bests at the Overlake Redmond Town Center Labor Day Half-Marathon this Labor Day morning, September 3rd. Greg placed 3rd in 64:25; Trevor placed 4th in 69:29; and Kate won the overall and masters women's race in 76:19. What a great way to start September. On to the fall marathons we go! @drinkjoeforyo #drinkjoefroyo #fitlife
