Grand Prix history

I’m looking ahead to 2010 and at the same time looking back at 2009. The biggest accomplishment for me was finally getting a “Iron Runner” jacket for doing all seven of the USATF NE Grand Prix races. Below is my history in the GP.

There have been 161 races in the GP in the last 23 years, I've done 82 of 161. Along the way I’ve got 8 - series wins, 2 - runner-ups, 2 - 4th places, and 1 - 5th place.

Here is the breakdown by year:
1987-38 Points - 1st place
1988-42 Points - 1st place
1989-37 Points - 1st place
1990-61 Points - 1st place
1991-41 Points - 1st place
1992-46 Points - 1st place
1993-48 Points - 1st place
1994 - Out most of the year stress fracture
1995 - 22 points - 4th pl (1. Fram 33 pts)
1996 - 50 points - 2nd pl (1. Fram 52 pts)
1997 -Out for the year stress fracture
1998 - 18 points - 5th pl (1. O'Brien 48 pts)
1999 - 27 points - 2nd pl (1. Morse 31 pts)
2000 - 34 points - 1st place
2001 - 22 points - 4th pl (1. Magill 49)

My favorite year was 1996, Craig Fram and I went back and forth all year. My only shot was to beat him at the marathon. He won in 2:23:52 (Cape Cod) and I got second 13 seconds back and lost the GP by 2 points. The 50 points that year was my best point total.

Here are the races in order in 1996:
30k - 5th place in 1:41:04 (Craig 3rd in 1:40:25)
8k - 4th place in 24:31 (Craig 3rd in 24:23)
10m – 3rd place in 50:23 (Craig 2nd in 49:57)
10k - 1st place in 31:41 (Craig 3rd in 32:18)
13.1 - 1st 1:06:48 (Craig 2nd in 1:07:01)
5km - DNR
26.2 - 2nd - 2:24:06 (Craig 1st 2:23:52)
Total time difference = 37 seconds

Pictures below - first one is from the 1996 CMHC 10m.  Pictured in the early miles (won by Scott Bagley 50:29) are #9 Gary Gardner 51:17, #32 me 50:40, #233 Eric Morse 50:49 , #4 Fram 51:36, #6 Mike Casner 54:20.  The other picture is from Mt Washington around 2 miles.
