Two great performances in Europe

Posted on July 16, 2009 by CoachJay

Yesterday was a big day…first day of the 2009 edition of the Boulder Running Camps, but also two great races for Sara and Renee. I have yet to find race video for Sara, but she ran 4:11.39, a three second PR. This was the race that she and I were really hoping for as we felt her fitness was 4:12 or a faster. I’m really happy for her and if the season ended today, we can now call it a success. The results here and below.

Renee ran 15:20 in this meet and won, which is my mind is just as important as the fact that 15:20 is just 5 seconds off her PR. She had to lead much of the race – though was able to follow a determined Julie Culley during two late, important laps – and I think that this is a better indication of her fitness than the two 5ks she had run earlier this year.

Sara has an 800m opportunity on Saturday and Renee has more options now than she did 2 days ago, which is always a good thing.

…back to camp…

    I just came off the Steens Mountains and back to the world wide web for a couple days and was excited to see these results. Great job coach and really happy for your athletes Jay!

    Congrats, coach! Nice for her to mention the new coach in the interview. This has gotta be a highlight for your career, no?
    Hope camp is going well. Would be interested to hear how the camp has evolved over time (after, of course).
