2015 Hamilton Road2Hope
One of our final big goals for the 2015 season was the Hamilton Road2Hope marathon and half marathon. While the temperature was perfect, winds were very challenging, especially at the top of the escarpment. The team powered through and still produced a collection of solid performances.
Full Marathon:
Our rankings
The winds were brutal for these guys, forcing some of our runners to fall of their pace and drop out. There were 5 H+Pers who fought hard and finished with great results:
Just two weeks removed from his PB at STWM, RunnerRob ran very strong 2:38:18, good for 2nd OA and his second fastest marathon to date.
Luke, on little pure marathon training relied on his massive IM base to carry him to a very successful 3:06:38.
In her fist marathon ever, Emily Hunter ran an outstanding 3:21:04.
Howie and Manny treated this as a fun run, coming in with finishing times of 4:21 and 4:52 respectively
Half Marathon
Our Rankings
With a recent course change, this route was measured by officials to be 21.34 in the week following
the race. While it's something that rarely happens at a race of this size, we sill had a great time and some solid results:
Coach Sean finished 7th OA with a time of 1:17:21.
Nick Burt, despite the extra distance ran an outstanding half marathon PB of 1:22:13.
Kailey Haddock had a strong run, and like Nick was able to finish with a strong 1:30:47 PB.
Holger ran his usual consistent pace, coming in with a 1:30:50 final time.
Gillian came in just behind Holger, running 1:31:23.
Dave was the 1:40 pace bunny for the race, and ran the perfect pace to finish the job, coming in just over 1:41 (which would have been 1:40 at 21.1).
Dragan was in next just behind Dave with his second best half ever: 1:44.

Team Rankings
Schuyler Schmidt had an outstanding last-minute race, finishing in 42:35 and second OA!
Danny Nakluski continues to improve, running a very strong 46:06 for a new PB.
Kirstin Marks posted yet another PB, coming in just behind Dan with a time of 46:38!

H+P on Strava
H+P is all about finding new ways to keep training fun. Sure, it's easy to go hard during our team workouts, but what about finding reasons to get in those off day runs? WELL, Sam Lalonde, our data specialist has done a great job of making fun challenges based on Strava, and tracking it on our stats page.
Looking to get in on the fun? Here are your options!
Top 80
The Strava Top 40 and Next 40 are a list of the top 80 most frequently attempted segments. Some segments have been omitted due to safety reasons (crossing busy roads) and consistency (i.e. GPS watches can't handle tracks).
Our goal is simple: To own both the female and male course record in these 80 most visited segments. We want work together and use our numbers to take down non-H+P segments. Find one you can get, and go for it! H+P on H+P violence is not the priority, although attacking and defending CRs is not prohibited.
Long story short, don't hurt yourself, have some off day fun, and let's work together as a team to own these 80 and to keep the fitness rolling when not at practice!
Conquests
Not looking to hammer on your off day (probably smart), but simply want a reason to run more at an easy pace? The conquests feature is for you! This one is simple: complete as many of the Top 80 segments as possible. Runners are ranked based on total # completed. When tied, average speed for each segment is the tie breaker. Can YOU run all 80?
That's it, happy off day running team!
