2005 Summer Season Races

Marathon Man runs 2005 PDR
2005 PDR

Marathon Man kicked into high gear in late summer, with consecutive PR’s in events leading up to the marathon in Minnesota.

8/18/05 – Old New Castle Run (5 mi.)
Popular race in historic New Castle. 34:35 was good enough for 33rd place.

9/10/05 – Bottle & Cork (10 mi.)
Fun weekend at Dewey Beach…oh, yeah, and a time of 69:41 to put me 6th in my age group (out of 50).

9/18/05 – Philadelphia Distance Run (13.1 mi.)
Two weeks prior to TCM, 1:33:34 shattered a half-marathon PR! But the sports drink was horrible.

– – – 17 Rebel Runners spend weekend at Dewey Beach for Bottle & Cork – – – – The next week is Philly Distance Run half marathon where Deena Kastor sets new American record – – – – Ray’s PDR: Top 7% overall….. Top 11% male….. Top 12% M(40-44)

Rebel Runners of Delaware tackle local events

Thursday 8/18/05: Old New Castle Run
Instead of our customary Thursday evening run at Delcastle Recreation Area (steps from Marathon Man’s residence), the Rebel Runners assembled in New Castle for this popular 5 mile race.
It winds back and forth through the streets of historic Old New Castle, starting and ending at St. Peter’s Catholic Church. Great food and cold beer after the race, while a DJ played music in the large parking lot. You can bet we’ll return next year!
