Many Sisu Project runners made their way over to Newburyport on a warm Tuesday evening to take part in the 50th Anniversary of the Yankee Homecoming races. In the ten miler, the men's team was made up of Matt Germain (57:40), Steve Bartholomew (1:04:56), Nat Coughlin (1:08:30), Jonathan Towle (1:37:21), and John Rheaume (1:46:36) who got sick mid-race but managed to finish to salvage a team score.

In the 5K, the Sisu Project was represented by Andrew Gallant (17:46), Tim Gallant (20:45), and Laura Rudd (20:57).

Congratulations to all the participants!

LL Bean 10K

The LL Bean 10K has been a recent favorite of mine for the past few years, but this Fourth of July I was accompanied by several teammates. Making the trip up to Freeport were Mike Griffin (33:16, 3rd overall), Matt Germain (35:17, 5th overall), Caitlyn Clark (39:04, 2nd female), and myself in 40:37. It was a beautiful course and worth noting that the only woman to beat Caitlyn was none other than the legendary Joan Benoit-Samuelson!
