Almost 200 Up For Possible Marathons of Texas Award
The answer is 196.
The question is: "How many people still have a shot of obtaining the Brooks race jacket to be given out by the folks (with the Austin Marathon Foundation) who put together the Marathons of Texas award?"
The list of folks who have already done both the White Rock Marathon and the Chevron Houston Marathon goes all the way from elite Masters runner Albina Gallymova, 41, from Russia to 69-year-old The Woodlands native Lou Wilson and 59-year-old Agnes Richardson from Carrollton.
These 196 runners not only have to run the Freescale Austin Marathon on February 19th, but also know about the promotion, find the web site and the e-mail address and send their results and information in.
146 men and 50 women have completed the first two (2) marathons.
The women are distributed across the following age groups: 20-24 (1), 25-29 (7), 30-34 (8), 35-39 (6), 40-44 (14), 45-49 (8), 50-54 (5) and 55-59 (1). The men are as follows: 20-24 (1), 25-29 (8), 30-34 (16), 35-39 (18), 40-44 (33), 45-49 (25), 50-54 (23), 55-59 (11), 60-64 (4), 65-69 (5), 70 and over (2).
Runners from nine (9) states have done both: Texas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Delaware, Mississippi, Minnesota, Florida and Colorado. It is no surprise either that most of the runners from Texas hail from the cities and/or suburban areas of Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin or San Antonio. However, San Angelo, Corpus Christi, McAllen, Plainview and Weslaco are also represented as well.
103 of the 196 runners ran the Chevron Houston Marathon faster than the White Rock Marathon. Meanwhile, 23 runners qualified for Boston in both races -- including Bayou City Road Runners' Jacob Tonge and Jim Braden as well as The Woodlands' (and RTW regular) Vincent Attanucci.
Nine (9) qualified at Houston after missing the standard at White Rock. This group's honoree should be Lewisville's Don Harrison, 46, who missed the 3:30 standard with a 3:33:57 showing but barely snuck in with a 3:30:59 chip time in Houston. Another eight (8) runners -- including the co-founder of the new Pearland Area Running Club, 29-year-old Cassie Dimmick (3:40:09) -- qualified at White Rock and didn't need to worry about their performance at the Chevron Houston Marathon.
