Chevron Houston Marathon Wrap-up
CONGRATULATIONS: Huge shout out to BCRR and the strong presence we had at the marathon! There were BQ’s, 1st Marathons, PR’s, and FINISHERS!! Everyone should be proud of the 13.1 or 26.2 you accomplished yesterday!
THANK YOU: It takes a team to support the crazy running habit, and thanks to our BCRR volunteers, we can continue to be crazy! Special thanks to:
· Susan Cita & Katie Decker for passing out goodies and cheering us on at the aid stations
· Chris McGrew for hand delivering our race day must-haves to the aid stations
· Sue & Alan, Chuck & Cheryl, and Jim & Ivy for a post-race party to warm up, drink up, and celebrate the day’s accomplishments
