From top to bottom in
the final results, the NRRL runners were competitive with one another at the
Pay Day 5k, the 6th race in the season. There were several instances where NRRL runners were
separated by less than 10 seconds, including men's winner Taylor Williamson
(AWL), who edged out runner-up Steven Leibowitz (CAN) at the line by 2
seconds. Mouli Nagarajan (DCRC)
was the 3rd place finisher, squeezing past teammate Ben Mitchell by
6 seconds, who in turn was 6 seconds ahead of the current leader in the
Individual Points race, Barry Holman (AWL).
In the women's race,
Faith Korbel (DCRC) made it 3-for-3, as she won by a considerable margin. Natalie Allgeier (CAN), was runner-up and . The 3rd place finisher was Genemarie Pade (DCRC),
who made this her first NRRL appearance and beat out Melani Hom (AWL) by
9 seconds. Hom maintains her overall lead in the Individual Points rankings.
The top-4 places in the
men's overall Individual Points race remained unchanged, while women's top-3
places also remained intact. These
specific point-getters opened up a substantial point lead on the rest of the
pack at this last race. The top-3
men and women receive plaques at the end of the year party!
In the race for the
ridiculously over-sized team trophies, DC Running Coach had another close duel
with Athletes Without Limits and took the top-spot by 2 points. Capital Alumni Network was 3rd
and Evolution was 4th.
Full results are now
available on the NRRL Results page.
The next race is the
relentless Riley's Rumble Half-Marathon on August 5th, with plenty of Triple H
expected (heat, hills, humidity).
This race is not for the faint of heart and is the only Half Marathon on the NRRL schedule this year.
Keep having fun with
your running,
Mike
