Bringing Home the Hardware

I bet you did not know that this year's LA Marathon served as the Marathon Road Championship for USATF Southern California. Well it did. I am very happy to announce that all three Gritty City Members that competed at the 2011 LA Marathon "podiumed" in their respective age groups. Janet Uribe won a bronze in her division and both John Burgos and Mike Cruz-Herrera placed second in their respective divisions. Congratulations. Well deserved. Next USATF Grand Prix Races: Brentwood 5k (5/29/11) Semana Nautica 15k (July 4, 2011).

USATF!

Mud Can't Stop Us Now

GCTC invaded Irvine for the Inaugural OC Mud Run on July 18, 2009.

Can you really fit seven people in a Ford Pick-Up?

Do you really pay money to run on the hottest day of the year?

Can they really call it a mud run if there is no mud?

Who are the So Cal Pasadena Boys?

How many does it take to figure out a race course?

How much swag can you fit in a bag?

Did the team place and win an award?

What's a nooner?

The answers to these questions next time . . .

Tune in next post. Same Blog address. Same Blog Channel.

Stay Gritty.

**Update: GCTC took third place at the "nooner" event.
