Summary
(published in The Interaction Point, Ruth McDunn)
On October 26th, SLAC held the 29th annual race event. Usually called the “Run, Walk, ‘n Roll,” this year the event was reduced to a drenched run and squishy walk due to pouring rain before, during, and after the event. For the skater’s protection, the “roll” event was cancelled. No one on the committee remembers a wetter event. Ironically, the event date was moved from November to October to avoid rain! The 30th event may be moved up to September 2001 to avoid bad weather or we may change the event to the Run, Walk, ‘n Row.
Despite the poor conditions, there were 47 runners, 18 registered walkers, many volunteers, and even a few spectators. SSRLs Ashley Deacon was the overall male winner of this year’s event, finishing in just 22:06 minutes (a 5:47min/mile pace), the fastest time since 1992. Considering the race conditions and his story, that time is amazing. Ashley started working at SSRL just over 12 months ago and weighed just over 260 lbs, unable to jog the ½ mile loop around his local park. Aided by the California weather (he moved here from upstate NY), he took up regular exercise including cycling to work each day. As his physical fitness improved, he started jogging. In November 1999, he saw the SLAC run flyers and set a goal to compete in the 2000 event. Since that time he has lost over 80 lbs and has gradually increased his jogging program. He is now competing in local 10K running events. Congratulations to Ashley!
