The Pegasus Athletic Club hosted the 2012 North Regional on 05/19 at Dearborn Levegood Park. This was the sixth time we have hosted it. This year, a 20 KM qualifying race was held for any who wanted to try the distance or attempt a qualifying time the Olympic Trials.
The weather was not kind for the 20 KM. The temperature was unseasonably warm for May. I am sure Dave Talcott was disappointed by his results since he was after a much faster time. Katie Smith did a gutsy performance for doing a 20 KM after being injured so long.
It is unlikely we will sponsor the 10 KM Regional next year. We only had a disappointing 3 entries. Part of the problem was that many of the club travel team walkers went to the National 15 KM in California which had a date change after our date was set. In addition, at least one entrant did not make the race due to the major traffic tie-up on I-94 which prevented him from making the start and prevented a number of our help from making the gun.
The results can be found here and some photos here.
