NETT Thanksgiving Race results

A strong contingent of Mini Ponies came out to the Ayer Firefighters 5K this morning, with NETT taking spots 4,5,9,13&14 for the men and 3rd place for the women. Dave H took fourth on the 5K in 16:43, with Young John Kinnee, who was "defending his home turf" turning in a strong run, finishing fifth in 17:01. Paul Young kept asking "What about the next 23 miles?" after finishing his first non-marathon race in while in a strong 17:14 while Frank KJ and Jerry D-Z ran together in true NETT fashion helping push each other to places 13&14 in 17:42. So that made five NETT runners finishing within a minute of each other.

Tina Wang continued her strong finishes on the female side, taking 3rd place overall in the women's race, holding off a finishing surge by two women behind her to finsih in 20:12 (first in her age group).

After the Ayer race, Jerry's dad hosted his annual Harvard Turkey Trot fun run--quite an event. You've never seen such a big race of 99% relatives before. All of the above-mentioned runners ran together to finsih mid-pack in the run (some of us had to boogie before the touch football game, but would love to hear a report on that when available).

Meanwhile, over in Andover, Frank White surfaced at the ever-popular Feaster Five road race. Frank took 13th overall in 28:55. Nice work for a guy only a couple weeks post-NYC Marathon.

Did I miss anyone? If so, shoot me an email with the results!

See you all at the Andover XC Race Sunday at NOON.
