The bus ROCKS. You ride with your friends and neighbors. You can use the toilet (ah, the toilet). You can watch the traffic and think about your wave start time. Er, forget that last part.

AfTER the run, you can join us for a hot beer and a relaxing shower. Or vice a versa.

Join us. You’ve trained hard. Now take the bus.

See the flyer below — please note the busses are leaving 15 minutes earlier this year!

Print out the flyer, mail it in.  Or, you can register via Active.   I can’t believe I actually have to write this, but the active link will sign you up for the bus, not for the marathon itself.  But you knew that.

The bus leaves at 5:45am from Downing Park and then stops at the parking lot across the street from Rocky’s Deli at 6am. Don’t be late. You don’t want to run to the Marathon. Unless you’re treating it as an Ultra.

Dear Ladies,

Congratulations today on a race well run in Central Park at the Club Team Championships!  The following results are even more impressive when you realize that all the runners racing today belong to clubs we regularly compete against in larger races. You know everyone brought it today!

Jane Lundy, on her own, finished as the 26th woman out of 509 women., which is remarkable in itself.  In age-graded place, she finished in first place, ahead of all the 20, 30 and 40 year olds, or anyone else for that matter, in the race. Un-friggin-believable!  Way to go, Jane!

The Open Women finished 8 out of 30 teams today, thanks to the efforts of: Jane (31:35, 1st in age), Cathrine Wolden (31:41, 2nd in age), Mary Natell (35:13, 5th in age), Emmy Stocker (35:29, 6th in age) and Nancy Bailenson (37:03, 2nd in age).  Impressive when you consider that only Cathrine is in the open category; our other scorers are actually older! This moves them up in the standings, tied for 9th place with New York Flyers.

The Masters Women finished 6 out of 20 teams due to the running of: Jane Lundy, Mary Natell, and Emmy Stocker.  Nice running, ladies!  They are bumped down, though, from 5th to 6th place overall.

And the Veteran Women are amazing!!  They finished in first place today, beating  Central Park, who placed second.  Kudos to Jane, Emmy, and Nancy Bailenson, who did an outstanding job today!  This moves us into first place, out of the tie with  Central Park who finished 2nd today and are in 2nd place overall.

My thanks to our other runners today, who, though they might not think they contribute, they really do, because they fill a spot and push someone else further down in the results.  The rest of the Taconic team today was made up of: Nancy Young (40:37), Cathy Groneman (40:43, 2nd in age), Fran Pisano (40:53) and whose name was announced at the finish!, and Margie Katt (42:40).

Thanks, ladies, and well done!  Hope to see more of you at future races.

And yes,

TACONIC WOMEN RULE!

Cathy
