Milford High School Cross Country

Coach Bloom and Uncle Vern teamed up to take 11th overall (5th as a team) in the Kent Foot and Ankle Family Frolic Biathlon in Smyrna Saturday. With increased competition and a bigger field, the VernCzars got a workout. Vern went out in a 20+ 5K, Coach Bloom averaged over 21 MPH in the 16.4-mile bike loop, and Vern followed with a 21+ 5K finale for a total time of 1:27.25. Seashore Strider head man Tim Bamforth and his partner took second in the team category running just more than 1:24, while Sidekick Nick Boggs and his CR alum partner William Cordeiro followed closely in third just seconds behind at 1:24.37. Bamforth and Boggs each had about a 1:30+ lead on Bloomie to start the bike loop, but I nearly reeled them in as we were all seconds apart at the final exchange. Maybe next time. :) That pretty much wraps up the Special Sauce Summer Season. Thanks for keeping up with us. See y'all at some fall races!
