RIF Extreme Racer Banner 2015 Winner

Run It Fast’s Extreme Racer Standings (thru November 2015)

John Leighton Winter Run - Run It Fast

The conclusion of November brought the Run It Fast – Extreme Racer standings into an extremely tight competition as the top three overall were separated by less than 42 points with John Leighton leading the way with 1,458.67. Following closely in 2nd was George Southgate with 1,427.1 points and in Joshua Holmes in 3rd place with 1,417.5 points.

When we look at the women’s side we have a new leader as well as Arkansas native Teal Clark takes over the pole position with 1,124.1 points. Diane Bolton, last year’s Extreme Racer top female, moves into 2nd place with 1,077.06 points. Patricia Klein drops to third with a staggering 1,069.4 points to round out an extremely competitive leaderboard amongst the women.

With one month to go…actually just a couple more weeks left in the year…it will be interesting to see who can knock off more race miles while finishing their races. DNF miles do not count towards ER points. Will John and Teal be able to hold on to their top spots or will George, Diane, or Patricia be able to over take them? We will know soon enough.

Thank you to all RIF members who have submitted race points throughout the year.

Larry Johnson 93-94 Teal Hornets Warmup Jacket

Hot or Not? 2016 Boston Marathon Jacket Getting Heat

2016 Boston Marathon Jacket

Adidas released photos for the 2016 Boston Marathon runner’s jacket today and most on social media weren’t taking too kindly to the Faberge egg like colors (albeit with some humor).

https://twitter.com/SharpEndurance/status/672451182263046144

They remind me of the 1993 Charlotte Hornets warmup jackets that Larry ‘Grandmama’ Johnson and Alonzo Mourning used to wear.

Larry Johnson 93-94 Teal Hornets Warmup Jacket

See?? I think the Hornets might have a beef with Adidas and Boston copying their early 90’s teal jackets.

2016 Boston Marathon Jacket Model

Well on the bright side at least the Boston Marathon jacket will match Adidas’ new shoe they just released:

Remember it’s just a jacket and that there are many runners who BQ’d but were locked out with the cutoff this year for getting into the race. They would love this ‘ugly’ jacket.
