Congrats to Marist Running Alum Mike Guarascio (Mike G.) for
his runner-up finish (2nd place, out of 206 runners!) at the Stone Cat Trail Marathon in Ipswich, MA, on Nov. 7. Mike completed the tough course
in 3:18:34. Here is a “goofy photo” of Mike waving to his daughter at the
finish, “she was definitely surprised to see me emerge from the woods looking
delirious.”
Here’s part of Mike’s race report via email: “I was really
just shooting for a top-5 finish if I had a good day, and figured 3:30 would be
a good target, so I’m definitely pleased with the race. Rolling hills the whole
way, lots of single-track and turns, and a couple of massive hills at the end
of the loop (which we did twice). Hoping I can give a road marathon another
shot in the future to better my PR (2:53). But for now, going to rest up and
get ready for another kid in a month.”
Congrats on the great race, Mike, and good
luck with the growing family!
