Raybucks Clean Up at Holiday Classic Track Meet

Kaila battling it out.

Both Mark (Dad) and Kaila (daughter) Raybuck entered the 15th annual Upstate Holiday Classic indoor track meet at RIT, held today, December 28, 2013.

Kaila ran the 800 meters, setting a personal best of 2:46.  Well, it was actually her first 800 meters ever, as she ran cross country in high school, and just a few indoor track meets.

That's me on the left.

Running still hurts at this age!

It feels the same, but it's much slower!

First turn.

Mark managed a respectable, but relatively slow 5:29.5 in the masters only Roger Messenger Memorial Mile, more than 7 seconds slower than last year's performance in the same meet.  However, I feel that I'm a month behind in my training relative to last year, as I played a lot of tennis this past summer, and really didn't start training much until late September.  In addition, I was relegated to trying interval and speed workouts on the roads this past few weeks, as we had a bitterly cold start to December, and snow that left the outdoor track unusable for speed workouts.

But, all in all, it was a great day for the Raybuck family, and great to just hang out with some old guys that still try to run.

It's nice to see your name in lights, even if you were in the bottom half of the pack!
