Laps at Norrie Point: Omar finishes!

After a one-year hiatus due to a winter weather cancellation last January, our annual Mid-Hudson Road Runners Club “Fat Ass 50” race was held at Norrie Point. My old friend Charlie Sprauer and I (two old guys, below) have been organizing this race since 1996 (with only two weather cancellations, 2003 and 2018). We had a great turnout of runners (close to 100) with the usual small crew of 10-lap finishers. Notably, our own Omar Perez churned out all 10 laps in a very methodical fashion. I cautioned Omar against doing the whole thing, but darn it, now that he has done it I gotta say I’m really proud of him. Nicely done, Bro! Below are the complete race results.
