Overall Results

Hosted by the venerable Somerville Striders Athletic Club

A couple of fast twitch types from the Tom Derderian led Greater Boston Track Club stable showed up tonight...and both wearin' their snazzy GBTC running jackets with matching black tights...and the "I'm gonna win tonight" look in their eyes...both won their respective XO DNA side of the fence with the cuter one taking home a case of 96 Cappucino flavored Power Bars...I'm sure they shared--those GBTC'ers are like that:>)

Could have heard a mouse tonight pre-race, almost thought I'd have to put on the sneakers to make it a field and then boom 14 show up...with a ho-ho ending to the night in the cozy back room with good people, good cheer, good pizza and good music.
