Deckers Creek 1/2 is a best kept secret. The race was organized and managed well. Definitely a solid race to keep on the race portfolio.

Dan and Jaron are setting the bar high for the Striders. Congrats Dan on a great run during a humid day. Dan is definitely on his way to the “Best Dang Month Ever”. Jaron on a gutsy performance after an injury. Tim Smith had a strong effort and left the evidence on the ground at the finish to prove it.

This was Joe Bever’s first ½ marathon and he gutted it out with a couple of blister to show for his effort.

Great work guys, some nice times there. And Dennis had a great run at Antietam as well!

Dennis was 2nd overall behind Doug Oates at Antietam. It's almost always a hot run down there; the pavement just spits back the heat into the faces of the runners.

An encouraging sign - one of the runners from the Deckers Creek Half Marathon emailed me about the fact that so many runners from the area participated. This email came Monday morning. I'd already been told about it Saturday but it was great to have people tell me to seek out the results so I can, if time permits, write something up for TriStateRunnur.com and the Times-News (and/or Mineral, Bedford and Garrett papers - I usually take care of it all, time permitting).

Two areas of improvement along this line - one, if runners could email me in advance if they are competing out of town, it'd make coordination of official results from the race director easier. Second, I'd better be able to manage my time over the course of a weekend and give credit where credit is due even when there are multiple events to write about.

Thanks again, and great job. I was impressed with Rob Smith's time - and also that he was 2nd in his age group. That 40-and-over group is tough.

I was pleased with my run, i did better than i thought would. Looking back on my experience I'm begining to toss the idea around in my head of training for and racing a full marathon this fall.

From an outsider's perspective, Joe, your efforts approaching the marathon distance would be welcome and simply enhance an already great group of young men and women in the area who are performing at a high level

Good luck!

I say go for it Joe. Your half time should translate well to a full marathon.
