It was a unique year for the RunWaterloo ENDURrace – because of an unprecedented ice storm, the 5km was canceled and moved to the same evening as the 8km. H+Pers embraced the new race format and jumped at the chance to tackle both distances less than two hours apart. Most of us took advantage of the double-header to get in a solid workout and long run, grabbing some wins and prizes along the way. Here’s how we did:
Aidan ran a solid 17:03 5k and 30:19 8k to finish 6th overall in the combined results.
Coach Sean also ran both events as a part of his long run, finishing 5th overall in the combined results.
Adam ran 18:49 in the 5k and 31:39 in the 8k to finish 8th overall in the combined results.
Alex was first OA for women in the 5k in PB of 19:07!
Dave ran a 19:09 5k and 32:36 8k, good for 12th OA and 1st in his AG for the combined races.
Brad finished the 5k race in 19:23, running an H+P Career Best ranking time and placing 1st in his AG!
Robyn Robyn won the combined event OA for women with a 19:27 5k and a 31:21 8k. Impressively, she also set a new course record for the event AND set the new H+P Masters Women 8k record!
Kailey improved her average H+P ranking time by a massive 20 seconds with her 19:34 5k time, which also earned her a H+P C Standard. She finished 3rd OA in the combined race results!
Merzi ran 19:44 5k and a 32:08 8k, finishing 1st in his AG in the overall combined results.
Coach Gill finished 2nd OA in the combined results.
Vicki was one of many who treated these races as a workout, and still finished 4th OA in the combined race!
Trevor ran a new 8k PB of 35:59 after racing the 5k!
Jessica proved that she’s a warrior in this race – after falling early in the 8k race, she went on to finish as 6th woman in the 8k and 5th woman in the combined results!
Jonah also ran both the 5k and the 8k, finishing 1st in his AG in the combined results.
Erin ran a new 8k PB of 39:32, and finished 2nd in her AG in the combined results.
Tracey won her AG in both races, and of course took the AG win for the combined race!
Jordan and Catherine the 5k together, winning the spouse team category!
Meredith continued her streak to PB in BOTH the 5k and the 8k distance!
Sam ran the 5k with his daughter Ruby, narrowly beating her to the line!
Heidi ended the 5k in a sprint finish with Sam and Ruby, and continued on to run a solid 8k afterward as well.
Matt returned to action, finishing both the 5k and 8k events.
Sandi also had a solid race, tackling both the 5k and the 8k.
Andrew and Heather ran both the 5k and the 8k, crossing the line together for both races!
Congrats to all who raced, and thanks to Jule of RunWaterloo for the amazing pictures!
