The PRT Open Men's team took second at the Wild Duck 5k this past weekend, losing by only three spots to the GivingTree3/BSK squad. Dan Farmer and Alex Phipps took out the race in honest fashion, leading through approximately two miles and holding on for fourth and fifth place, respectively, both comfortably under sixteen minutes. Not far behind were your humble correspondent, Derek Bradley, and Andrew Corman (7-8-9, all around sixteen minutes). We also had strong races from Chuck McKeon (16:34), Steve Moxey (16:52), and Alec Fillmore (17:06). My general sense is that a few people ran quite a bit faster this year than last, which bodes well for the upcoming Dirt Dog series.
Brian Culley and Steve Johnson led the 40+ men's squad in the Masters race, coming in fourth and sixth (17:09; 17:20). The PRT Masters were second in the team competition behind the Jamul Toads.

PRT Men's Team Update
Okay, here we go. The inaugural entry in the PRT monthly (sort of) wrap-up for the men.
Let’s begin with the team-focus Encinitas 5k on May 19. Our guys placed 3-5-6-7-8-9-12 (Bradley-Seidel-Christman-Phipps-Fraioli-De La Vega-Daly). Such a display of team dominance has not been seen in any sport since 1992, when the USA Dream Team humiliated Angola at the Barcelona Olympics in basketball. Keep in mind, though, that we were the only team that showed up with any numbers. Still, an impressive turnout and performance. Special recognition goes to Derek, who broke fifteen minutes for the first time and gives the rest of us over-30-year-olds hope that all is not lost.
Precisely one month to the day after Encinitas, Alec set off from Santa Monica Pier with a friend, hoping to reach San Francisco in two weeks, running the entire way (the high-speed-rail link between LA and San Francisco had not yet been approved when his journey began, or I would have recommended he wait for its completion). Although injuries and fatigue prevented them from completing the trip, Alec made it well past Santa Barbara, and in the process raised a nice amount of money for the Hall Steps foundation, a charity created by Ryan and Sara Hall.
On July 4, a date that will go down in history as the night that San Diego couldn’t contain itself and exploded all its fireworks prematurely, we had a good crew at the team-focus Scripps Ranch 10k, placing 5-6-9-11-20-32 (Farmer-Phipps-De La Vega-Corman-Fraioli-McKeon).
Now the focus turns toward cross country; it’s time to put in the miles, and get all dirty-dog when the time comes. I don’t actually know what that means, but I look forward to recapping the first month of xc action.

PRT Year in Review
Though 2011 is about to come to end, Prado Racing Team is just getting started. The fall Dirt Dog Cross Country series concluded on November 12th, and PRT made a strong showing in its first year. In competitive men's and women's open fields, PRT men claimed 8 of the top 20 spots in the series and the women took 7 of the top 20 spots.
After a long cross country season, PRT is now preparing for the 2012 spring season, with road races, marathons, and track meets on members' calendars. Looking back, a few highlights of PRT's inagural year:
- PRT's debut race at the USA Cross Country Nationals (San Diego, CA), February 5th
- PRT Women win the Carlsbad 5000 (Team/Open Women), April 3rd
- PRT Women win the 2011 Dirt Dog Series (Women Open Team), Men take 3rd
- Jenna Munguia takes home the 2011 Dirt Dog Series crown (Open Women)
- PRT breaks the 10x10K Coed Relay Guiness World Record on June 19 (6:01:35.72)
