MSV had several new and returning teammates line up for the Category 5, 4/4 and 3/4 race. Those that have raced the Long Run Course know that it is deceptively difficult and usually has horrible weather. This season racers were greeted with a dry course, warm weather and strong cross winds. To top it off many of the categories were at or near field limits.

MSV had a few standout teammates at the race.  Dave Marshal returns this year with a vengeance taking 12th for  the Cat 5 race. Kristy Matherly took 14th in the Women’s Cat 4 race and Doug Burton finished in the top 20 of the Cat 4/5 race then went on to finish in the very competitive Cat 3/4 race!

Big Shout outs to Brett Miller, Tony Young, Roy Denny, Matt Fegenbush, Daniel Dickinson. These guys are just getting warmed up! Most of our teammates finished with the field were close to the top 20 and compteded in multiple races. Not bad for such a nasty winter for training.

In the Cat 4 race Dan, Steve, and Doug all rode well AND had excellent costumes. Matt rode well dressed as himself. The announcer enjoyed their spirit and periodically reminded a good portion of the field that Dan was beating them while wearing a chicken suit. Luke (a former MSV member) out sprinted the Red Zone kids to win the open field. Chad rocked the 35+ field. Though he appeared to be the leader, a couple riders slipped ahead leaving Chad with a strong third. Jay rode well in the 45+ field. Tom rode strong in the Cat 4 open group and finished around 5th, just a few seconds behind the leader.

Jason dominated the Cat 3 field winning with a significant gap! All the more reason to appreciate his good advice during training rides. Kay, Brad, and I rode the in the 45+ field. I had a great start but lost ground in the corners and settled for 8th. Brad (a new MSV member) rode past me on his new BH dream machine and earned an excellent 2nd place. Kay was slowed down by a flat but finished well.

Marcus, Steve’s oldest son, did great in the kids’ race. He muscled his way through the first corner and finished with a strong sprint.
