The PRT Open Men's squad turned in a very solid performance at the Balboa 4-miler on September 1, taking third place in a tight battle with SDTC and Adidas Movin Shoes. We were led by new member Armando Lara, who put himself right in the mix with the lead group and finished fifth overall, breaking twenty-two minutes on a sadistic course on a hot day. Rounding out our scoring runners were Dan Seidel (22:13), Derek Bradley (22:34), Alex Phipps (22:43), and Andy Corman (22:51), all finishing in the top twenty. Luis de la Vega (23:18) and Chuck McKeown (23:29) were close behind.
The Bonita 8k, held in Sweetwater Park on September 22 and featuring several hay bale jumps, was a tougher day for the Open Men. We had a small turnout and the other squads were too strong, so PRT had to settle for fourth. Dan S. took seventh (26:30), followed by Alex (27:15), Derek (27:23), Brian Culley (28:23), and James Fieberg (29:49).
Roughly halfway through the Dirt Dog Series, PRT now sits in third place, a few points behind Adidas. We're still looking for a team victory at one of the three remaining races before the championship on November 10, so mark your calendars for the next race--the Balboa Boogie 5k, on October 13. Register here for that race.
