Hey all,

We had our best turnout for the Kleinerman 10k today and had some impressive performances. Team Records were set by Josh and Masako (as soon as NYRR adds the team name). We are unofficial 19th out of 42 mens teams (I believe 8th out of "B" teams) and 21st out of 33 women's teams (will move up once Masako's time becomes official). Out of 4,776 overall participants:

- Josh ran 37:15, 102nd place, 6:00 minute pace (Team Record)
- Jeff ran 39:22, 183rd, 6:20 pace

Please post your time below or correct anything I missed. I didn't know everyone's previous PR so I didn't record it if I didn't know. Great job!

Matt

I'm liking all these PRs! Fantastic team finish, a great way to end the year. We go up in 2010! Congratulations all! Sorry to have missed such a huge gathering!

This is amazing! Congrats everyone!

Josh and some of Matt waiting in the corral are in the NYRR video clip of the race (scroll to 0:59 into it): Joe K. 10K NYRR video

Those jerseys make it much easier to spot you guys!

Good eye Benny! I just watched that a few minutes ago and totally didn't see us.

and Jennifer Schmitt ran 51:02, 1,584th place, 8:13 pace.

I'm really impressed with the turnout by the Whippets. People were shouting "Go Whippets!" throughout the entire course and we've definitely gotten our presence known by other teams and officials of NYRR!

Great job again all and hope to see you at the End of the Year party to celebrate a ridiculously successful first 7 months of this group!
