Two dozen runners partici-

pated in the Carroll County

Triple Crown this year. Each

ran in the three 5Ks support-

ing the teams of the 3 south-

ern Carroll County high

schools, held throughout the

fall season. The scoring is

done in the cross-country

style, adding the place finish

number for each of the 3

races. The lower the score,

the better the finish place.

Congrats to all who ran and

especially to those led their

categories. Thanks again,

Robert, for keeping score after

each race.

The weather is not an issue!

Bagel Runs continue on Saturday

mornings, as popular as ever with

walker's, 3-4 mile runners and

others going out a bit earlier than

8 am to get in extra distance. A

great time for all with food after-

wards. See the schedule on page

1, our website or Facebook page.

Tuesday/Wednesday morning

runs continue to happen each

week for early birds. Again check

on the Facebook page for details

and other pick-up runs during the

week.

Trail runs are occurring at vari-

ous times during the week and

week-ends, including mornings

book page .

Holiday Lights Run was once again a hit.

Thanks Jamie and Steve for hosting this event

especially under your special circumstances.

Ironman Robert Muhl did his 1st Ironman at Iron-

man Maryland in Cambridge on Oct 7th. Congrats!

Hey, been wondering what’s with

the new erector set you’ve seen

at races these past few months?

Or noticed that the race award

results have been happening a bit

quicker after the race? No, it is

not a new runners performance-

enhancing device, it is a timers

performance-enhancing device.

We have been gaining experi-

ence with our new timing system!

Called Jaguar, it is a RFID-based

system. The bibs we now use

have a chip in them. The system

reads the chip multiple times as a

runner passes near and records

the time. It continuously com-

piles results as data is received.

After some early learning pains

while gaining experience, the tim-

ing team under Jamie’s tenacious

lead has had 100% reads over the

last few races. And been able to

quickly recover from the typical

anomalies that occur with timing

so that accurate results were

available soon after the race.

Though there were timing back-

ups used at the races, the team

did not have to resort to them.

See it next at the Shiver Shuffle!
