Runners were greeted to some warm temperatures which surely affected times at this Year's Brielle 10K which attracted a large field for this classic 10K Race.

The Annual Sheehan Classic opened on Friday Evening with the Kid's Races under threatening skies but the rain held off enough for all the Kid's to be treated to a really fun event with lots of clowns, finishers medals, refreshments and a great looking shirt. There were lots of smiles (and a few tears) as the Kid's ran down Broad Street in downtown Red Bank. The weekend included a Pasta Party and Runner's Expo under the Big Tent. On Saturday morning while the temperature dropped a bit the humidity increased. The heat and humidity took its toll on many local runners but the visiting Kenyan's seemed to thrive on it.. They took all the top spots with fantastic finishing times under 24 minutes. The overall winner in a time of 23:20 was Gabriel Mucher. For the women it was Grace Njoki in a time of 28:25 Afterward runners were treated to loads of refreshments and entertainment at Marine Park on the banks of the Navesink.

I enjoyed riding in the Central Jersey Bicycle Club's Annual Farm Lands Flat Tour on May 5. This was a very well organized event. I participated in the Metric Century 62 mile ride. The springs scenery in Monmouth County was great. Excellent support was provided to the riders, including rest stops with snacks. As a competitive runner, I find cycling and triathlons excellent cross-training to help me in my 5K races. I recommend other runners participate in cycling events sponsored by the Central Jersey Bicycle Club .
