Kathryn Battock – NYC Marathon

Congratulations to Kathryn Battock who raced the prestigious NYC Marathon. She finished with a smile on her face in 4:48!

Congrats also go out to Frank Smith who raced Ironman Florida this past weekend. This was an achievement all on its own, as he has spent most of this year recovering from a leg injury that prevented any weight bearing activity in the first half of the year. He was soon cleared to walk, and then, finally, run mid-summer. This was his 7th Ironman finish!

Great job, guys!

Congratulations go out to Nick Platais, Frank Smith, and Ed Wallis this week!

Nick Platais raced IM California on Oct 22nd. This was his first Ironman and he finished in a strong time of 11:25!

Frank Smith is firmly back into his running groove and finished the Queen Bee 1/2 marathon in OH this past weekend in a time of 2:32.

Ed Wallis ran the rugged Canyonlands Marathon in Moab, UT and finished in a time of 5:46.

Nice job, guys!
