Super-Ironrunner's

In order to attain “Ironrunner” status you need to complete all seven races in the USATF NE Grand Prix (a series of seven road races each the New England championship at that distance).  Staying healthy and being able to race from February through September at distances from 5k to marathon is no easy feat.  Even more impressive are the twenty-two runners who were also able to finish in the top ten at each race and thus score GP points in all seven races.  Five of my CMS teammates took home this honor.
