Race Recap: 20-21 April 2013

by Erin Masterson

True to our club name, the NOVA Team was well represented at a variety of races around the Northern Virginia area this past weekend (...does Rockville, MD count as  NOVA??) Longtime standout Martha Mertz ran 39:41 at the Pikes Peak 10k, which with both she and Coach Jerry Alexander were pleased. Rockstar Allen Denson ran the Pacers GW Parkway Classic 10 Mile Race with a strong 35th OA finish in 1:02:48. Denson stated, "I feel really good about the race today. I split 31:38 for the first half and closed pretty well with a sub-6 last mile and passing several folks."  Up and comer Maya Bruck got a PR in the Mad 5km Run at James Madison High School, shaving a minute *per mile* off her best time ever.  (8:24). Congrats to all NOVA racers! Let us see you out there at a race next weekend, and be sure to pass along your result to Coach Jerry or President Justin for posterity (and blogging).
