Holiday Half Marathon 2013

On December 15th, Gritty City had its last USATF race of the 2013 year.  As part of the USATF Grand Prix competition, Gritty City competes with other track clubs around southern California.  The Holiday Half Marathon was the last race where Gritty could score points.  The course was relatively flat with some rolling hills which allowed a few grits to PR on this course.  The club's official score will be posted later.

L-R on top Hugo, Annie, Pureza, Adrian, Jason, Vivian, Portia

Shout out to Tony & George who did not make it in the picture.

Hugo had a 1:28 PR and George had a 1:37 PR.  Adrian also had a PR and looked  strong as he passed me at mile 9.  Jason and Annie ran strong races after being on vacation for a few weeks and the rest of us gave our best effort.  After the race, we enjoyed free coffee and tea and hung out with the Pacers.

One of the best parts was getting breakfast and catching up with our Gritty doctor Adrian and Gritty Lawyer Art....showing that you can be a track star and a professional. Good times!
