Results of the Asheville Chamber Challenge 5k – June 3, 2011 – Asheville, NC
It was smokin’ hot when over a thousand of us lined up for the Chamber Challenge 5k at 4:30 yesterday. There was little break from the sunshine and the long uphill pull at the end of mile one was a jolt that made the second mile on Pearson feel like a piece of cake. There’s something about that last mile that’s cruel – no matter how many times I run this course the gradual uphill stretch on Montford Avenue with roasting temperatures really takes the wind out of my sails.
I was part of the Motley Crew male team and we were 8th place out of 49 male teams. I was true to my word, staying a couple of minutes behind my teammates “watching out for competitive threats.” Congratulations to all who finished this race. Here are links to the results:

I have been told there will be some changes to the team results. I am waiting for the official explanation.
I see the Chamber has no respect for the ATC’s “old timers”. They left the ATC’s third team, Team Track Club 60+ Mountain Men, out of the results. I added their times together (1:52:10) for a 17th place finish out of 50 teams. Not too shabby at all guys!
I noticed that too.
I was wondering if the gang preferred anonymity!!!
