"Feets" of Strength

Set a new PR?  Complete your first marathon or endurance race?  Let the BTC know about it!  

This new feature of The Vulcan Runner is intended to acknowledge the accomplishments of the people who make our club so awesome -- you, our members.  So please congratulate the following members on their Feets of Strength.

Vicky Brakhage, from Chelsea, completed her 10th half marathon in the St. Jude Half Marathon in Minden, LA.  She also set a new personal record by four minutes!  Congratulations, Vicky! 

Despite a 30 minute weather delay, Robert Harris of Leeds recently set a new personal record at the Rocketman Olympic Triathlon held in Huntsville on August 23.  His overall time of 2:45:30 was good for 11/18 in his age group and 117/202 overall.  Congratulations, Robert!

Aaron Langston, from Pleasant Grove, set a new half marathon personal record by 23 minutes in the Kentucky Derby Mini Marathon.  He also beat his dad, fellow BTC member Richard Langston, for the first time ever!  In related news, several BTC members have noted a sharp spike in Richard’s training since the trip to Kentucky.
