Kevin Porter "ready to go pro" as he places in 50+ for first time...
B)SHIRLEY MATSON & SAM HIROBAYSHI
featured in RUnning Times magazine!
Our 40+ women's trio made the trip to Folsom area again last weekend and placed in the same order for the women's field.
The duathlon consisted of about a 2M run-I'm not sure of the gnarly mountain bike course (about 8-10M), followed by another 2M run.
1.LINDA LINDSAY won 40+ again in 1:19:49
2.TRICIA WALLACE in 1:28:13 (Tricia has also been helping with High School mountain bike racing teams-a new sport in the schools that is experiencing huge turnouts!
3. GAYLE SHIMOKAJI in 1:40:30...next year Gayle will be in the 50+ division - and leave behind those youngsters for a new age bracket.
KEVIN PORTER, placed in the 50-54 placed 5th, with a 1:47:51.
...Now they have one more event in the series to go - in March. We'll keep you posted...
MASTERS AGE GROUP National Rankings:
In the APRIL 2006 issue of Running Times Shirley Matson(65) and Barbara Miller(67)were featured as the age group runners to watch....
Our own SAM HIRABAYSHI (78) was ranked 3rd in the 75-79 division for the 2005 MASTERS of the Year awards! Congratulations Sam!
SHIRLEY MATSON was ranked 2nd in the 60-64 division while BARBARA MILLER was first in the 65-69 division..I've bumped into Barbara many times over the years when we timed the races. She is delightful person who lives in Merced, CA.
Both she and Shirley face dealing with injuries as time marches on, but both are an inspiration for their accomplishments and enthusiasm. Shirley is recovering from an injury that took 6 months to diagnose; I hope to see her back on the running scene once her body is back in order and when she can get her base back to the level she's used to. ¶ 9:08 PM
