Lynn Woods relay


I’m looking forward to racing at the Lynn Woods relay this week.  It is always a fun and competitive event.  Two years ago I put together a (mostly) CMS squad of Senior’s (50+ age group) with the expressed goal of breaking the record.  We finished 52 seconds under the old record.  Last year I dug up the guys (Dan Verrington, Dave Quintal, and Joe Shairs) who also own the current Master’s (40+ age group) record with the goal of having the same guys also take the Senior record.  It was a hot and humid night and although we won the Seniors category and took 5th place overall it wasn’t enough.  Our 66:05 was the 6th fastest ever by a Senior squad.  We’ll be back at it again, hoping to take down that record.  In the history of the race 70 minutes has only been broken 15 times by Senior teams.
