One2Tri Racing Represents in Boston!

A huge congratulations goes out to Danielle and Chad Crockford, Kim Eagens and Tom Patch for their 2011 Boston Marathon finishes - a second for Tom!!  Each athlete has a very memorable day under their belt and a lot to be proud of.   

Danielle and Chad Crockford continue to impress.  Chad turned in a 6+ minute PR and a 428th overall finish (out of 28,000+ runners) with a swift 2:47:07 (6:23/mile pace)!  As bib # 1063, Chad finished nearly 600 positions higher than his qualifying corral - quite an impressive feat at such a competitive event.

Danielle ran a solid race despite some recent foot pain and crossed the line on Boylston in 3:14:49 (7:26/mile pace).  Danielle finished 381st out of the females and has a lot to be proud of!

Kim Eagens was on pace for a strong 3:25 goal finish until a mishap with a volunteer led to a strain (hopefully not a tear) in her right quad muscle.  Kim muscled through the remainder of the race and turned in a 3:52  marathon despite her intense pain.  Kim hopes to take revenge on Boston sometime around 2020. :)

Tom Patch can hold his head high crossing the line for a Boston PR by nearly 10 minutes with a commendable 3:33:12 (8:08/pace).  Given his bib number of #10,067, his 8,555 finishing place is impressive!

Kim and Tom finish the pre marathon 5k on Sunday...
More pictures to come!  Congratulations to all the One2Tri Racers for even having the opportunity to compete in such an elite event.
