Mill Cities Relay
by Mike Pelletier
Sunday, December 6, 2009
NASHUA, NH - The 2009 Mill Cities Relay is in the books and it was
another fun-filled, successful event for the North Shore Striders.
In 2009 we fielded ten teams, earned 26 points, and
finished 11th of 18 clubs participating. This compared favorably to 2008 when we fielded
eleven teams and earned 26 points and 2007 when we fielded nine teams and scored 28
points.
Although for many of us running the relay is all about
participation and doing your best to help the team, we did try to field the most
competitive teams whenever possible. Usually that meant putting the five fastest
runners in an age group on a coed team. The best relative finish in a division
was turned in by the Coed Masters team as they finished ahead of six other Coed
Masters teams. The Coed Seniors team finished ahead of three other teams as did
the Male Seniors Team and the Coed Open team finished ahead of two other teams.

Wild Turkey 5 Mile Race
by Mike Pelletier Thursday, November 26, 2009
SALEM - Twenty-eight Striders toed the starting line on
Thanksgiving morning, visions of medals, fleece jackets, and/or eating without
guilt dancing before them. They were among almost 1200 runners who milled about
in front of the Witch Museum and then set off for a run to Winter Island in the
Salem Willows. For most of the throng, the size of the field quickly ended
dreams of fast times and it became a three-mile warm-up followed by a long
sprint to the finish.

Run for All Ages 5K
by Mike Pelletier
Saturday, November 7, 2009
WAKEFIELD -Twenty-two Striders toed the starting line on Saturday
morning for the second-to-last race in the 2009 Strider Grand Prix. Bringing
home the gold (metaphorically speaking) were three Strider women: Sue Quimby,
Sue Besse, and Lauren Hamilton. Annajean McMahon finished second in her age
group, while Kate Gage, Nancy Giannone, and Nancy Wilson each finished third.
Making a return to running after spending at least six
months cycling was Bill Kobus. Bill ran away with second place in the race among
the NSS seniors behind Lanse Stover who is having a great year after training
with Coach Fernando Braz on the track. I wouldn't be surprised if Bill finishing
between Lanse and Tom McMahon created a three way tie for first among NSS senior
men.

East Boston Savings Bank Challenge 5k/11k
by Mike Pelletier Sunday, November 1, 2009
PEABODY - Sean Kay and Sue Quimby led the way in the
11 K with Frank Lanzillo in the middle. Joe, Vicky, Aj, and Tom
were still recovering from running the Baystate Marathon two weeks ago, but Joe
ran full tilt as always and earned second place among men 60+. Vicky and
the McMahon twins barely broke a sweat in finishing in a three-way tie on
time, but Vicky was left singing, "Why was I born too late?" when the
twins scooped up first place trophies in their respective age groups. Joining
them on the medal stand was Bob Holland, a surprise second place finisher
among senior men, thanks to recent modifications in training. Mario and
Armand are dutifully training to run the longer distances in December at
the Mill Cities Relay while George works on his speed. The word among the
NSS veteran runners is that Mario and Armand are right on target.
