Notes from December 2-3 Weekend
+ Congratulations go out to Houston's 47-year-old Suzy Seeley, who won the Baton Rouge Beach Marathon for the 3rd time in her career last Saturday in a time of 3:27:58.
Seeley held off 52-year-old Rapid City, SD lawyer Amy Yanni, who finished less than two minutes behind in 3:29:34. It was Yanni's 34th marathon this year and her 17th top three finish. All but two were under 4 hours.
It was Seeley's 9th marathon of the year and her second win. The other was this March in the Seabrook Lucky Trails Marathon, which she won in 3:36:57.
+ 40-year-old Houstonian Sean Wade once again this December went to Barbados.
Last year, Wade ran the 10K, which is run the day before the Barbados Marathon and Half Marathon, and finished second.
1. Joseph Kamau 31:00 SM30-39 1/43 1 3:06 KENYA
2. Sean Wade 31:04 SM30-39 2/43 2 3:07 USA
3. Zepherinus Joseph 31:08 SM30-39 3/43 3 3:07 ST.LUCIA
This year, Wade would once again see St. Lucia's Zeperinus Joseph in this year's Half Marathon. But unfortunately for Wade, Joseph was in front of him and won the half marathon.
1. Zepherinus Joseph (St Lucia) - 1 hour, 08.15 minutes
2. Richard Kemeli (Kenya) - 1:09.21
3. Sean Wade (USA) - 1:09.36
The one set of results stated that "Kemeli" was from Canada. However, I believe that this is the same Richard Kimeli who won the United Space Alliance 10-Miler in mid-October in Clear Lake. (Kimeli also ran a time of 1:06:28 and finished 4th in the America's Finest City Half Marathon in San Diego on August 20th.)
(Both of these items were brought to my attention by Mr. Eagle Eye himself, Edwin Quarles. You'd think he was a sportswriter at some point in his life ... )
