The 2013 NMC Winter Series has come and gone and along with it the challenging weather conditions which put its particular stamp on this year’s series. Two storms caused the cancellation of the Danvers race and the rescheduling of the Donnelly’s race. Despite that 71 club members, 42 men and 29 women, participated in at least one event. Four club members, our Ironmen and Ironwomen, participated in all seven races. Congratulations to perennial Ironman Charlie Salmond, first time Ironman Joe DiMucci, Marge Gladwin (hard to imagine that this is her first time), and most impressive octogenarian MaryLou Crohan. Well done all. They will be presented with NMC jackets or have their jackets embroidered with their achievement. A minimum participation of 5 of 7 races was needed to score for overall places in the series standings. Scoring the best 5 of 7 races in the series tabulated individual results. Age group awards were given to the total points in each age group. Once again, congratulations to all.
The NMC Summer Series is scheduled to begin June 4th with the running of the Bob Hersey Memorial 5M Road Race. We will be making a change in the scoring for the Grand Prix Series this summer. In the past we have required participation in 75% of the races. With the very extensive number of races we have each summer the NMC Board of Directors voted to change that requirement to 50% plus one race. The intention is to encourage more of our club members to participate in the Grand Prix Series. The final summer schedule will be out by early May.
