Great Job to everyone who ran the 36thAnnual Great Stew Chase!

Lake Winnipesaukee Relay

Published on September 30, 2009 in Grand Prix Race. 0 Comments

LWR

Members of the Wicked Running Club before the big relay!

A fun time was had by all at the 21st Annual Lake Winnipesaukee Relay over this past weekend. LWR is held annualy in September and takes runners in a counter clockwise loop around the the largest lake in New England. The race is 65.1 miles long and split up into 8 legs.

Each leg varies in milage, but what is certain is that you will find at least one hill, and maybe more depending on the leg you pick. Although the hills are challenging you will be rewarded with awesome views of the lake and the early fall foliage.

Wicked did very well finishing in a time of 8:40:29 which placed the team in 49th place out of 96 teams. While everyone on the team did a fantastic job, it was Colin Doherty who stepped it up another level and ran not only leg 7 but also leg 8! For those who haven’t had a chance to run the LWR before, leg 8 features some of the more challenging hills in the relay. The most memorable hill comes at the very end. After enjoying a nice down hill, runners come to an intersection and start their final climb to the finish. After being punished by the previous hills,  Colin made his way up the final hill to the finish  line giving it everything that he had and came through with a great run!

“Running the Lake Winnipesaukee Relay was great! This is a unique race, the legs are interesting and challenging, and the location is gorgeous. I really enjoyed the challenge of the course, the support of my team, and the chance to support my teammates while they ran their route. I am looking forward to running again next year!” 

-John Mohoney

“This was my fourth year running the Lake Winnipesaukee Relay and it gets better each year! This year I ran legs 5 and 6 and got in a sweet 17.2 mile run. One reason why I love doing this relay each year is because I get to spend the entire day with members of the Wicked Running, which in my honest opinion is the best running club in the entire country! It’s amazing how supportive each team member is.  Can’t wait to run it again next year!”

Lone Gull 10K-Wicked Grand Prix Race

Published on September 21, 2009 in Grand Prix Race. 0 Comments

The weather couldn’t have been any better for the Third Annual Lone Gull 10K in Gloucester. Our good friend from the New England Running Company, Wes Lassen proved to be an excellent Race Director once again. Wes started the race just after 9:00 a.m. with close to 800 runners on the starting line. Nike was on hand with some cool swag and there was a tasty breakfast to be had by all the runners at the end of the race. The Long Sleeve Nike Dri-Fit shirt that pre-registered runners received was very sharp. Make sure you sign up early for this race next year!

Below are the results of the Wicked Runners who came out to race. Great job everyone! Grand Prix Results will be updated later on this week and will appear in Friday’s Wicked Weekly Update. Photos can be found at jimrhoades.com and photobucket.com

Lynn Woods Relay

Published on August 27, 2009 in Grand Prix Race and race results. 0 Comments

As predicted Wicked had a strong presence out on the trails for the Annual Lynn Woods Relay. With 12 teams entered there was a sea of red shirts everywhere you looked!

And while the weather was hot and humid, that didn’t stop members of Wicked from running some really fast times. One of the best performances came from Chris Osterlin who started his sprint to the finish line after hitting the pavement, saw that he had one more person to catch and turned on the afterburners. Chris who has run a sub 2 minute 800 on the track caught up and passed the other runner with room to spare before the finish line.

Spreading good will to all Wicked Runners, Doug Bollen was seen handing out temp Wicked Kidz tattoos.  We may need to get some standard Wicked Cat tattoos for all the other races coming up.

Wicked also picked up some hardware as well. Wicked Fast (2nd in men open) and Wicked Left Overs (5th in men open) both placed in the top 5 overall. While the Wicked Studs (Masters)  and Wicked Senile (Seniors) teams both captured 1st place in the respective divisions.

Results of each Wicked team can be found after the break below. If you’ve been to the Lynn Woods Relay website this morning, you will notice that Bill mentions that some splits maybe questionable. If there are any changes in the splits for any of the Wicked Runners listed below,  updates to this site will be done ASAP. Pictures will be coming soon as well.  Congrats to not only the teams that took home hardware, but to everyone else as well!  GO WICKED!!
