1500M Follow-up: Champion Again :-)

After yesterday's race, Robbo and his family took the train into NYC's Grand Central Station... had a few nostalgic Madagascar moments, took a taxi to Battery Park, rode the ferry to Liberty Island, got caught in a downpour waiting for a taxi back to Times Square, ate at Cafe Metro on the way back to the train, then settled in for a good night's sleep.





This morning, Robbo ran away from the competition in the 1500M. He placed 1st with a time of 4:51.39, a personal best (and also a very tough time to run virtually solo). I will post the race video when I get a chance for those of you who would like to view it.

We are very proud of Rob as he is not only running well, but is exhibiting discipline in the way that he runs his races. He seems to be enjoying the strategy as much as the running itself!

This win makes him the Area 1 3K Champion, so he will be running in both the 1500M and the 3K at the Jr Olympics in Iowa in August!!
