Al's Run!

A beautiful mid-September morning in the 60's sun shinning and a light breeze made for a fun race this morning! There were over 2800 runners out there running for a great cause!  Al's Run is an 8k (4.97 miles) that starts on Marquette campus then head east towards the lake and north on Prospect.  With a a big down hill coming down Lafayette Hill the runners turn onto Lincoln Memorial and make their way back to Summerfest grounds.  There is great support all along the course with band out there playing music!  We had two UWM Tri Club team members rocking the black and yellow argyle, Adam Schneider and Ryan Schmeling.  Adam finished 9th out of 207 men 19-37th over all and went under 30 min with a time of 29:50 (6:00 pace)!  Ryan came in at 34:26 (6:56 pace) to finish 19th out of 184 in the 25-29 age group and 156 overall!  Way to go guys!  Next team race is the Lakefront Discovery Run, lets keep up the good work!
