Many GMAA'ers made the trek down to Boston again this year for a race on the classic cross country course in Franklin Park. The weather proved perfect with little wind and temperatures in the 30s. Due to the proximity of Thanksgiving not as many other teams participated, but the GMAA runners all ran well. Of special note is Jack Pilla's "double". He ran the 8K and 10K in order for the club to field a full team in the men's open division. Jack managed well in both races despite winning a 50 miler the week before. He started out the 8K with a 5:24 mile, which he deemed "too fast" so he backed off a touch. Then in the 10K an hour later, he opened the same first mile with a 5:28! Clearly Jack was making only "fine tuning" adjustments... Also thanks to Dave Hammond who ran in the open 10K to again help field a full team. Rick Rountree was a last minute scratch due to his dog bite injury several days before the race. Thanks to all who made the event special!
The number to the right of runner's times are the runner's "score". The score doesn't always equal the finish place because runners who aren't on a full team do not count as well as runners who finish 8th or greater on their team.
