Who is going to CRASH-Bs?

Post by ArmandoChavezUNC » February 7th, 2017, 10:33 am

Haven't seen a dedicated post to the upcoming CRASH-B competition in Boston this Sunday so I figured I'd start one.

I'll be racing in the men's open event, along with another whopping 198 competitors. Who else is going to be there?
PBs: 2k 6:09.0 (2020), 6k 19:38.9 (2020), 10k 33:55.5 (2019), 60' 17,014m (2018), HM 1:13:27.5 (2019)

Old PBs: LP 1:09.9 (~2010), 100m 16.1 (~2010), 500m 1:26.7 (~2010), 1k 3:07.0 (~2010)

I'll be in the 65-69 lwts with Mark, and what looks to be the deepest field ever in the age group. A few years back there were either 0 or 1 entry in the category. This year at least 10 with some very fast times posted for many of them.
55-59: 1:33.5 3:19.2 6:55.7 18:22.0 2:47:26.5
60-64: 1:35.9 3:23.8 7:06.7 18:40.8 2:48:53.6
65-69: 1:38.6 3:31.9 7:19.2 19:26.6 3:02:06.0
70-74: 1:40.2 3:33.4 7:32.6 19:50.5 3:06:36.8
75-76: 1:43.9 3:47.7 7:50.2 20:51.3 3:13:55.7

I've been watching the weather mark, don't think it will be too bad. Nothing like in years past to be sure.

I'll be rowing with the skinny old men (60-64 LWTs) and look forward to placing faces with names like Fred. Sunday I did a 6x500 with 3 min rest to find a reasonable race pace and managed to bring back some back pain that I have avoided for two years. :x It's still there but I don't care. I'm resting this week and giving my best effort on Sunday. I hope I don't have to shovel too much on Thursday.

Going to see the big dogs run but I paid for a share of the pain in 65-9HWT. I will get my money's worth no question!
