Ben wins the Alston+Bird LLP Corporate Cup 1/2 marathon
Our Team Message Board was light up today with the news that Ben had won the Alston+Bird LLP Corporate Cup 1/2 Marathon. Ben had been on the injury reserve list for most of last year.
However, I have been watching his running log and knew that his conditioning has been improving. In mid Feb, he ran a 26:40 ish time at the Winter Flight 8k. From reading his running log, he wasn't pushing.
Then today, I got word that he really blow out the pipes on a tough 1/2 marathon in 1:13:51. I know the course is tough from running it in previous years. If he been on a faster course, I think we would be talking about 1:11 or possibly 1:10.
What is really good about Ben's race is that it helps set the bar higher. Cody and Chris now have another person to push them to greater heights.
Now, what I would really like to see is the three of them go head to head to head on a fast course.
But best of all, these type of runs put the TrySports team at the top of the list for teams in Charlotte. I know of no other team that has this many fast runners.
For my part, I just need to brush of this ITB injury and show that I am worthy as well.
Good Running and Racing
