Two Brickyarders chopped 4+ minutes off their 1/2 marathon times today. That would be Lea Crown, who took care of the Danbury 1/2 in 2:01:09 (9:17 pace), and Tracy Vroeginday, who ran the Oleksak Lumber 1/2 in 1:48:29 (8:17 pace) (1:52:39 last year).

Mr. Brent Stratton, who was unfairly aided by a talisman provided by Ms Vroeginday's cat Mo as well as a beautiful Bible which provided pre-race inspiration, managed an impressive 1:40:25 (7:40).

Lee ran 1:48:10 (compared to 1:47:40 last year). We've been analysing the mathematics of it all and with Tray knocking off 4 minutes and Lee adding 1/2 minute things don't look good at all for Mr Bradley in 2013.

There was a record turnout this year at Oleksak. They doubled (!) their numbers. The weather was great; cool, dry. Linda took the pix and Tray did the driving.
