Despite a year of COVID, Jon grabs PRs!

Race options were limited in 2020 so when a hilly half marathon presented itself as the only option, Jon went for it! Jon ran a new PR of 1:24:04 (a 45 sec PR). Soon after, he ran a virtual Turkey Trot 10k in 37:15, running another 44 sec PR!

Faster as a Master!

Just like Jon, Alyssa saw the hilly half as her one opportunity to race this year. Despite being 55 (sorry Alyssa!), she ran a new LIFETIME PR, breaking the sub 1:40 barrier for the first time in her life! She continues to train hard, recover harder and be smart as she proves she’s like a fine wine, better with age!
