Shore AC Women Win First National 60+ Virtual Race
Who says that you can't have fun during a lockdown? A collection of Shore AC runners aged 60 and over reveled in the first-ever National Virtual race -- while practicing social distancing, of course! Sponsored by the Boulder (Colorado) Road Runners, the race rated teams based on age grading. Participants chose their preferred distance, 5K or 10K, on pretty much whatever course they desired. Each contestant was required to submit proof of their time and distance. (You'll find our body of proof in the pictures below.) Races needed to be run within an 8-day window, specifically between May 23 and May 31.
And how did we do? It is a sheer delight to report that the Shore AC women's 60+ team *WON*! Our three super-gals combined their remarkable talents to score an average age grading of 79.84%. Barbara Donelik led the way, zipping through her 5K Thompson Park course in a stunning time of 24:16. Given her spritely age of 73, that equates to an astounding age grading of 90.78%. Congratulations, Barbara! SAC stalwart Susan Stirrat spun a swift 25:53 on the streets of her hometown of Denville, yielding a marvelous age grading of 75.27%. Fellow 64-year-old harrier Dawn Ciccone streaked across the Lehigh University campus to clock an excellent 26:31, in the process sewing up first place for the team with her age grading of 73.45%. The team's composite age grading of 79.84% just edged out the 78.23% score for second-place Greater Lowell Road Runners. A ladies team from Boulder Road Runners also competed and took third place. Well done, Shore AC ladies!!!
Meanwhile, Shore AC did what they could to cobble together a decent outcome. Mere weeks prior to the race, SAC stars Reno Stirrat and Kevin Dollard, both sidelined for months by nagging injuries, doubted that they could participate. But, as she often does, Lady Luck smiled on our squad. Reno's back muscles behaved long enough for him to squeeze in a 20:47 and lodge an age grading of 80.83%. Kevin's toe bided its time quietly while he toured the Cary Arboretum near his upstate New York hometown, notching an impressive 20:35 for a solid age grading of 80.24%. Well aware of the injuries to our two power hitters, other Shore AC athletes stepped up to the plate and rapped some key hits. John Kilduff ripped a towering shot, running a fabulous 20:35 to nail a spectacular age grading of 83.08%. Next, Hal Leddy cleared the bases with a rocket run of 20:11, good for an age grading of 82.49%. New club member David Huse made his debut ace for Shore AC a memorable one. He sped through 12-1/2 loops on the Princeton University track in 20:11 to post a (road) age grading of 80.43%. Great to have you aboard, David! Backing up our front five runners were Scott Linnell in 21:01 (77.87%), Harry Nolan in 23:47 (76.41%) and Paul Deykerhoff doing a 10K in 53:35 (66/06%). Shore AC's team score of 81.42% placed us fourth in between #3 Boulder Road Runners (82.42%) and #5 Athletics Boulder (78.98%). Atlanta Track Club dominated this kickoff coronavirus race with 88.00%, while Greater Lowell Road Runners grabbed second place with 83.22%.
Tune in next month for a repeat National race! Boulder will host a similar 5K/10K virtual race for age 60+ athletes during Independence Day week. Come join us! Let's go, Shore AC!!!
