Unofficial Cherry Blossom 10 Miler Team Results and Individual Award Results have just been published. Impressions to come with stories in moments.
FLASH UPDATE: Our Women’s Open and Mixed Masters teams both finished third, meaning that fame, fortune, and hopefully coveted engraved medals and a team plaque will be theirs. Our elite team finished 2nd, but in the ideal configuration we could have finished 3rd in the Men’s Open division, along with our other teams which finished 6th, 10th, and 21st.
Team scoring is based on the sum of the net finishing times of the first three eligible finishers on the team as recorded by chiptime. For full details on team scores, see the race site, here.
