Eighteen (count 'em) Milers ran the 31st Willits Classic on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2011. (Click on photos to enlarge them.)
A whole passel of Milers (18, to be exact) participated in the
Willits Classic (hosted by the
North Coast Striders) on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2011, and they showed mucho club spirit by wearing their cool new Milers duds and clocking amazing times.
Randy “Rapido” Esson (our one and only club member from Mendocino County) finished the 10-mile race in just under one hour and 11 minutes (that’s a pace of about 7 minutes per mile!), followed by our new member from Jerusalem Grade,
Steve “Arrowswift” Whitt, who was not far behind at a whisker under 1:18. Not to be outshone,
Heather “Her Highness of the Hills” Johnson zipped across the finish line at 1:21:48, with
Sarah “Quick Cat” Carlisle coming in a few paces later. Congrats to these fleet footers and all who attended.
Miler Randy Esson from Mendocino County is the first club member to cross the finish.
