Ex-Socorroan Runs 3nd Annual Yokosuka 1/2 Marathon

Shingo Date took 1 hour 55 minutes 32 seconds (gross time) to complete the race in even chillier (a liittle below 50F) and more gusty conditions when compared to last year, but said that he was was glad that he completed the race.

Good Job Shingo and nice outfit!

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!
