QUOTES OF THE MONTH “I think there is too much emphasis placed on the distinction between the people in the front and the people in the back. I happen to feel that the sensations are exactly the same for all of us.” Kenny Moore, marathoner and writer “Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better start running.” -African proverb
WICKED KUDOS Congratulations to Susannah Barnes, Alfred Rossi, Michael Nickerson and Kristy Henrich (not pictured) for being selected as this year’s recipients of the Wicked Frosty Four Scholarships. Each student athlete received $1,000, an original Wicked Frosty Four tech shirt and a one-year membership to the Wicked Running Club. The scholarships were distributed at the WRC summer cookout on Saturday, August 21st. These recipients were selected by the scholarship committee from a very competitive field of nearly 20 applicants. We wish them the best of luck for a successful future, which hopefully includes some running! Congrats to the Wicked Masters team of: TR Ramsdell, John Ayers, Patrick Smith, and Colin Maclay for taking top honors in their division at the Lynn Woods Relay Race on Wednesday, August 25th. 1:06:29. What they lacked for in creativity for a team name, they made up for in speed! This is the 2nd year the Wicked men’s master’s relay team has taken home a trophy! Congrats to WRC members Patrick Smith, Tim Clarke, Denise Murphy, Stephanie Cooper for completing the Timberman 70.3 Tri in Lake Winnipesaukee, NH on Sunday 8/22 which included a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run. WRC friends Jay Curry (who had a PR) and Stu Greeley also competed. Congratulations to John Ayers (right) for his 4th place overall finish (1st Master) at the Beverly Homecoming 5k on Thursday, August 5th. Baby news! Tim & Nicole Short (photo below left) are expecting a baby in February 2011. First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes Tim & Nicole racing with a baby carriage! ☺ From Tim Short: “Rich Tomlins (photo right) has decided to step down as Vice President of Wicked Running Club. Rich has served on the Board of Directors for Wicked over the past 6 years in various positions from Treasurer to President. Probably one of his most important roles over the past 3 years has been being the Race Director of the Wicked Frosty Four. His leadership as Race Director has certainly made the Frosty Four a huge success. I'd like to thank Rich for his dedication to Wicked and his hard work over these 6 past years.”
