R&R, 26.2, Another Group?, IAAF - Are You Nuts?

Rock & Roll Results
With 16,674 finishers, it's a sure thing that I missed any number of you scrolling through the results.  Check below and let me know if I missed you so that the official record can be corrected.  Either leave a blog comment or e-mail me at bill.tuszynski@gmail.com.  Most big races in the area put their results on active and you can sort out the PA finishers, cutting the number drastically.  The results for this race did not allow for sorting by geography and there were a lot people from the Garden State and elsewhere who could have been easily eliminated.

Marathon Season
Fall marathon season is upon us and many Bux-Monters are gearing up for their 26.2 (or more).  There are already 439 races on the calendar for September-November so I tend to not list most marathons because you already know which you are running.  This will help ensure that your results get the attention they deserve.

Group Event
Despite the crowded race calendar, it's never a bad time to hold a group run.   The question is when and where.  Saturday October 15 seems to be a less overcrowded day on the race calendar.  Any suggestions as to where we might go?  The choice of post-run/ride repast is the critical factor in determining  the venue.  Any suggestions?

Duh?
According to the IAAF, women's records are no longer women's records if men are in the race?  Apparently, it is considered an unfair advantage for an elite woman to use one of the male runners as a rabbit.  It's somehow OK for men to use load up a race with a sacrificial rabbit to pace them to a record but cheating for women to do the same.  In their infinite wisdom, the IAAF has retroactively changed current women's records, eliminating those from races where the sexes mingled.  Paula Radcliffe still hold's the women's marathon record.  It's just that now it's her third best time of 2:17:42, not the 2;15:35 she ran in London.  Deena Kastor loses her American record of 2:19:36 and it's now Joan Benoit Samuelson's 2:24:52 from the 1984 Olympics.  Go figure.  Or not.

Club Races    
Get your headlamps, candles and ya-yas out for the night-time Ghouls & Fools.  Everyone should do a night trail run at least once before they die, even if it turns out to be the proximate cause.

Race Results
A bunch of half-meisters, including a gaggle of Gargeses (Gargi?), an AG place by Nancy Smith, PR by Dana Wentzel and a first half for Kelly Rickert.   Plus, Dean Dimmig sneaks off to Ohio and our dovish friends ran around Lake Galena.  Fortunately, none of our distaff runners set a putative world record, only to be smacked down by the IAAF.
