2011 Sharin' O' the Green 5K - Team Results

We placed first out of 66 teams! Pretty Good I'd say, not to mention a women's team, won the overall title. Team members at the race included: Amanda Scott, Amanda McCracken, Jamie Arnold, Deb Conley, Luanne Burke, and Kalie Abel. The team win consisted of the four fastest times of our team. Our average time was 20:02. Total time 1:20:08.

The team average would have been under 20 minutes, but as Luanne's guide, I slowed her by having a panic attack. The tight pack consisting of hard-core racers, kids, and joggers combined with the hard right turn after the first 100 meters, induced a panic attack for me. Thank you Luanne for understanding. She knew within 2 minutes what was happening, she could hear it in my footsteps. I never recovered. I was not my normal self - 7:30 pace and hyperventilating. Luanne ended up talking me through the race. Ironic isn't? Hats off to both Amanda's for taking first in their age division (10 year divisions) (20 - 29) and (30-19)! I think our team prize is a big cookie. Has it arrived yet? Deb Conley
