Race Results - Fort Custer and Others

Greetings everyone. Last weekend was a busy one for the Team as we had racers participate in the Fort Custer Stampede, a team duathlon in the Detroit area as well as a 5k in Lakeview. Below are the results, and as you can see the Team continues to place very well...

Lakeview 5k
Triathlete Matt Wright placed 2nd overall and 1st in his age group in the Lakeview Fitness Expo 5k this past Saturday. Matt has some triathlons scheduled later in the year (swim, bike, run), so these events are excellent cross training. Great job Matt!

Team Duathlon
Danny Wolin and Jennifer Blank competed as a team in the Detroit area last weekend in a duathlon (run, bike, run) with Jennifer putting in the run and Danny dominating the bike portion of the event. They took top honors for the event and Danny's bike split was one of the fastest of the day. Yet another excellent showing by Team members.

Fort Custer Stampede
In addition to serving burgers, hot dogs and Great Harvest rolls to well over 200 people on race day (yes, Team Active Racing was the most popular team Sunday), racers put on a very good show on the course. Below are the results from the event. A special thanks to all racers (and spouses/significant others) that arrived to help with the day's festivities and keeping things moving.

Team member Dan Frayer took several photos and uploaded them to his Flickr account. Check out the link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/danfrayer. Thanks Dan, and be sure to check out his site for his own recap of the race.

Also, thanks to Team member Mark Sherman for the great shot of me (looking forward to finishing) from race day. While I certainly didn't "burn up" the trail, it was a great ride and moves me that much closer to this year's Lumberjack 100 in June. I tried to keep a 100-mile pace going and while I finished in just over 2 hours, LJ will have me on the bike for 10+ hours. Lots of time to think and reflect on life...

Until next time,
Eric (aka Cap'n Crunch)
