There are still racing going on despite the shorter days of November.
Nick did not waste any time after his splashdown back in the States by participating in the "Stomp the Grapes" 1/2 Marathon with his wife, Marjie. They finished in 2.39.
A few NEO TC members went south, to Burr Oak State Park, for what may be the last Bob Cat Marathon. The Burr Oak State Park Lodge will be closing down due to financial difficulties. This trail marathon runs more like an ultra.
Ron Ross finished the race in 4.55.
Brandon Russell was not far behind in 4.59.
Courtney Russell must have let Brandon get ahead of her. She finished in 5.03
And what did the King do, one weekend after his Double Marathon at Run With Scissors?
Run another 100 mile race, of course!
Paul Lefelhocz finished the Pinhoti 100 Trail Run in 28.50! Congratulations Paul! Rumor is that Paul now has (unofficially) 1085 Raced Miles for 2011.

Dyslexia Dash 5K
Congratulations to Race Director Courtney Russell for her successful Dyslexia Dash 5K Prediction Run, held Saturday, October 22.
“Prediction Run” awards and special prizes will be given to the ten runners who come closest to predicting their 5k finish time (regardless of age or gender) Runners will be asked to predict their finishing time when they register for the race. This race will be run without the benefit of watches, course timers or mile markers!
Over two hundred runners participated in this run. NEO TC member Lloyd Thomas had the fastest race time, a 5K in 18:17; but he did not win the race. Lloyd predicted he would finish in 18:30; but ran a fast 18:17 instead. Lloyd ended up being 11th in the prediction run.
Brandon Russell came in third in the Prediction run, since he predicted he would run a 22:22, and ran a 22:25 5K, a difference of three seconds.
The next Dyslexia Dash 5K will be held October 21, 2012. Thanks to all who participated. This event will raise awareness for language-based learning differences such as dyslexia, and provide an opportunity for runners and walkers of all ability levels to have fun and compete on an even playing field. Proceeds benefit NOBIDA and Lawrence School.

Burning River 100
Congratulations to all who participated in the Burning River 100 Mile. And big THANK YOU to the many many volunteers who gave up their weekend to support the runners!!
There were some great performances by NEO TC members:
Courtney Russell 25.38.54
Roy Heger 25.38.59
Paul Lefelhocz 27.16.43
Ron Ross 28.51.06
Kurt Osadchuck 28.36.27
The 100 mile distance of the past weekend must have seemed 'short' for Paul Lefelhocz, who earlier in the month completed the 314 distance of the Vol State Race. The other participants in the "King of the Miles" contest should be relieved that July is over and Paul can't add any more miles for the month!
