Cathy Places Fifth at SOMA 1/2 IM

It was nearing record highs in Tempe (and that's saying a lot) but Cathy kept her cool and finished fifth out of 30 in her age group! Her final time was 5:37:11 and full results for all of the SOMA races can be found at thier timing website.

Did you know the current U.S. record holder in the Scheeb is an SRS member?

That may have sounded a bit weird, but it's true. On a recent trip to New Zealand, Mark Bottjer took a turn at the Schweeb in Rotorua, NZ. When he stepped out of the recumbent contraption, err, the Schweeb, he was holding the U.S. record at 1:08.92, only 5 seconds off the world record!

Chips 'N Salsa Participants

They may have changed the course due to construction, but that didn't scare off Robert and others from racing. Results 

Ellen Aster wins age group in Imogene Pass Run

Congratulations to Ellen for winning her age group at the very difficult Imogene Pass Run

Local Athlete completes IM Louisville

Michael Ruth completed his first IM in 13:34. A few days later he was even showing off the bike at the Tech Club Day, surely turning some heads.

Locals in High Standing 2007 NMORS

Take a stroll through the various NMORS standings and you'll see some familiar names, especially near the top of the Single-speed Men's, Sport M19-29, and Beginner Men's 30-39. At a quick glance, Issac and Karl are 2nd & 3rd in their category, David Vaughn and Walter Brisken are 2nd in theirs, and Ellen Aster and Peter van Moorsel have points from racing as well!

Sahuarita Triathlon 

Pat Roache recently braved the heat over the Memorial Day weekend in Tucson while participating in the Sahuarita Triathlon. Check out the results, which show that he finished second in his age group.

Jay Benson Triathlon 

At least 4 SSR members raced the Jay Benson on May 13th with Catharine Roache and Royce Laine getting second and first in their age groups, respectively, while Melissa Begay and Pete van Moorsel fought through the large crowds to grab top 10 places in theirs. Check out CCR Timing for the official results.

Winter Time Trials

Four 10k timed bike training rides. SSR will set up the course, the starter, and the timer. These are non-competitive and each day requires a $5 daily USA Cycling membership if not already a member.

See the announcement.
  • December 1st
  • January 12th
  • January 26
  • February 9th

The Fall Running Series is Almost Done!

It consists of 4 5k's (see schedule at right), and costs $5 to register PLUS you have to be an active SSR member.

30 runners!
Almost 30 runners in race #1!!

Yes, the first 5k was a long one. 3.3 miles, in fact. So we made the second a wee short to make up for it! Then we held the third one on a course where you ran uphill into the wind. What fun!
