Beast Mode: Marathon Crew

Yesterday the Champions Club represented well in the Free Press Half and Full Marathon races. The cold conditions proved difficult for the runners, but it still turned out pretty well.

Mrs. Fitz did a half marathon for what I believe was the first time in her life and finished the entire thing without walking. She ended at 2:32.

Keep your shin vertical Fitz-OAlso in the half was everyone's favorite crybaby Brendan Crawford. He finished in 1:45 and kept a sub-8 minute mile pace the entire time. Hopefully we'll catch him back soon.

Finally, Matt Fecht finished 2nd overall in the American-only half marathon, running 1:06:46 - which was actually good for a pr. He was surprised considering he has been off with his running and lifting due to teaching and coaching obligations. Rumors have been floating around about his return as well.

On the other side, we had one athlete complete the entire marathon, and as you would expect that would be Mrs. Crystal Reed. For the first time she continued her CrossFit training in the two months leading up to the race, and she feels like it helped her with the hills, and with her recovery after the race. She ran a 4:45! We'll see her back in this week.
