There was a bit more club racing action this past weekend.
A group of Harriers and friends went to the Frontenac Forest area for a destination event and competed in the annual Sydenham 8K Trail Race. (sounds like what the Cambridge Mill Race will soon become - out and back on a rail trail)
There were 150 competitors and Lisa Leskien was 19th overall and second female with a time of 33:50. She wasn't far behind Pedro Fernandes who was 15th in 33:07. Steve Mota took 25th spot with a 34:44 clocking. Ray Vandenberg was 47th in 39:03 and Lisa's sister Holly was 78th in 48:00.
At the Toronto Scotiabank Marathon on Sunday, Douglas Rivera placed 1,227th in the field of 3,700 and recorded a time of 3 hours and 48 minutes even. A couple of other locals had impressive results with Mitch Free setting a personal best time of 2:34:58 in finishing 34th, and Rob Brouillette taking 43rd spot in 2:38. Mitch was 2nd master overall and 1st Canadian master finisher. And one more Harrier to report on. Clair Bartleman competed in the Toronto Scotiabank half marathon, along with 11,689 others. She placed 3,848th. She was 1,291st among the 5,877 women. Her gun time was 2:14:35, but her chip time got her under 2 hours, at 1:58:19. Most in the running community will know that Cameron Levins from B.C. broke Jerome Drayton's 43 year old Canadian marathon record in Toronto with a time of 2:09:25.
