More Marist Alumni racing news from this weekend ...
Mike Schab (Class of 2006) completed the Baltimore Marathon on Saturday in 2:53:44, good for 43rd place overall out of more than 3,300 finishers.
Schabby, who remains a great friend to the program and somehow knows the names of pretty much the entire team despite the fact that he is long since removed from Marist, said he has been working a lot of hours and was not expecting much out of this race. He said he was simply hoping for a sub-3:00 performance and he got just that.
Unfortunately for him, Schab tried to sign up for the 2011 Boston Marathon, only to be denied entry when the Boston field filled up in eight hours! He said he tried in vain several times online to get in.
Geez, getting a bib number at Boston is harder than getting Bruce Springsteen tickets at Madison Square Garden!
That's OK. Schabby will find some fun marathon adventure for the spring. And look for faster times too, as his work schedule subsides a bit during the winter months, which means he'll have more time for training -- not to mention unannounced visits to the Marist campus.
Nicely done, Schab.
