Cross Country The cross country season is well underway. Our high-school members are racing weekly. The adults are a bit slower getting started but some will be racing the Ontario Championships on November 13. Canadian masters cross country starts at age 35. Ontario includes a sub-masters category beginning at 30. Competition is in 5-year age groups with team awards in 10-year age groups. All members of the team have to be members of one AO registered club. Runners must also be members of Canadian Masters Athletics. The number required for a team depends on the age group – up to four on a team with three required to score for younger groups and three with two to score for older. Older runners can run for a younger team and women can run on mens’ teams with a few stipulations. Teams have to be declared ahead of time. The Ontario Championships is a 5K race and the Canadian is 8K. Andrew Jones’ training is drawing a good crowd. Plans are being made for competing at the Canadian Champi- onships in Kingston the end of November. The training schedule is available in the members-only section of the London Pacers Running Club website, londonpacers.on.ca Thanks to Steve Connor and Chuck Edwards for their donations of their artistic talents, there will be some money to help defray costs of the trip to Kingston, If you want to compete, or if you want to know more about cross country, contact Andrew bannis- [email protected] 4 Page 5 London Pacers November 2016 Newsletter PACER RESULTS September 2016—for October results, please see Page 16 Michigan Titanium Half Iron Triathlon Plainfield Twp, MI August 20, 2016 Swim 1.2M, Bike 56M, Run 13.1M Overall Name Chip Time Age Group AG place 75 Kevin Hodgins 5:50:57 M 55-59 3 92 Scott Slaven 5:56:27 M55-59 4 123 Armin Kruspel 6:13:01 M60-64 2 Bayshore Half Marathon Owen Sound, ON August 28, 2016 Overall Name Gun Time Chip Time Age Group AG place 34 Morrison Reid 1:52:44 1:52:38 M65-69 3 Marathon SSQ Levis, Quebec Aug 28, 2016 Overall Name Chip Time Age Group AG place 1011 Sara Morrison 5:23:20 F55-59 10 Jordan’s Run the Runway 5K London, ON Sept 9, 2016 Overall Name Gun Time Chip Time Age Group AG place 1 Robbie Timmerman 16:11 16:11 Overall 1 40 Teresa Novick 22:35 22:34 F55-59 1 94 John Ferguson 25:32 25:28 M55-59 4 143 Bill Tofflemire 28:11 27:40 M65+ 2 157 Bill Spackman 28:42 28:21 M65+ 3 160 Rosemary Craen 28:49 28:26 F55-59 4 167 James Jones 29:09 28:47 M65+ 4 191 Robin Farley 30:17 29:50 F50-55 13 PB! 200 Patricia Boost 30:30 30:13 F65+ 1 204 Margie Denomme 30:44 30:35 F50-54 15 213 Anne Lamesse 31:00 30:43 F45-49 12 233 Dale Boost 32:07 31:48 M65-69 5 248 Paul Novick 32:39 32:17 M55-59 13 283 Sara Morrison 34:08 34:05 F55-59 12 359 Jackie McAllister 38:39 38:01 F50-54 29 366 Joanne Miklos den Iseger 39:40 39:14 F65+ 3 5 Peaks Ontario – Kortright 7K Kortright, ON Sept 10, 2016 Overall Name Time Age Group AG place 116 Chuck Edwards 44:49 M70+ 1 Chuck won his age group for the series as well. 5 Page 6 London Pacers November 2016 Newsletter Zoo Run 10K Toronto, ON Sept 24, 2016 Overall Name Chip Time Age Group AG place 888 Robin Farley 1:03:09 F50-54 34 1543 Cathy Veenstra 1:20:10 F55-59 30 MEC Race Four London Sept 10, 2016 5K Road Overall Name Gun Time Chip Time 33 Pete Cunningham 30:56 30:48 60 Pamela Fradgley 44:02 43:56 6K Trail 52 Sara Middleton 47:20 41:12 58 Susan McNeil 48:46 42:36 63 Debbie Garlick 52:09 45:59 12K Trail 44 Rosemary Craen 1:31:07 1:22:59 Beachside Run 5K Kincardine, ON Sept 4, 2016 Place Name Gun Time Chip Time Age Group AG Place 27 Cal Neely 28:58 28:53 M60+ 2 45 Susan Neely 36:20 36:15 F60+ 2 Growler Gallop 10Mile Detroit, MI Sept 11, 2016 Place Name Gun Time Chip Time Age Group AG Place 162 Bill Spackman 1:45:28 1:45:21 M65-69 2 Walking Classic 10K New Albany, OH Sept 11, 2016 Place Name Gun Time Chip Time Age Group AG Place 20 Rita Melville 1:09:37 1:09:25 F60-69 1 PB!
