Philly Marathon results

Congrats to Marist Running Alums for strong performances at today’s Philadelphia Marathon:

--David Raucci went out hard in an attempt for a personal-best time in the low 2:20s. It did not work out, but he still finished 45th overall out of more than 10,000 finishers, in 2:40:34.

--Joe Tarantello basically equaled his PR with a time of 2:47:39 (84th overall). Joe’s PR is 2:47:07. This is an excellent showing, considering Joe reported he has been sick the past two weeks and entered the race at less than 100 percent. Nice effort!

--Three cheers to first-time marathoners Alex Emerel (2:55:53), Colin Johnson (3:02:07) and Teddy Marak (3:26:33). All three guys admitted to going out too hard and paying the price for it later. Common mistake, men! Live and learn. I’m proud of you all.

And then there was me, hobbling in 21 minutes slower than my PR at 3:19! They always say your 5th marathons the toughest right? Or is that me???!
