Saturday, February 24 – At 6:00 am Saturday, Aly and Nikki competed at the Sprouts Mesa-PHX Half Marathon, which hosts 350 ft. of elevation loss on a gentle downhill route that passes desert vistas and citrus groves. It was a perfect day with perfect conditions for these two; each came away with PB’s! For a great rundown of her experience PR’ing in the half, and for the beautiful vacation she took with Aly post race to Costa Rica, check out Nikki’s blog HERESaturday, February 24 – The same day, in entirely different conditions that that of the Phoenix 1/2, Kathryn raced the Smelt Run 5k in La Conner, WA. Paced by Bellingham local, Kristen Schafer, Kathryn was just shy of a PR, and took 1st Place! The course starts and finishes at La Conner High School, and meanders through historic downtown La Conner and flat Skagit Valley farmland. There’s nothing better than the post race hot soup after this often cold, slushy race.Saturday, February 24 – The same day, in a totally different state/location/athletic venture, Corrine alongside boyfriend, Stephen hopped into the American Birkebeiner Classic 55k.
