March has been an incredibly uplifting month for Team RWA! From new res and non-res members in the first week to some stellar attendance throughout the week and on Saturdays; this team has built a solid foundation for the spring season.
The team welcomed Cliff, Omar, Rick, Marcellus, George, Yuseph, and Therion as new res members earlier this month and they have showed tremendous enthusiasm for the team and their training. Tim, Maureen, Kristel, Lisa, Heidi, and Erin came out as new non-res members this month and have added a ton of support into their runs with the team.
Back on My Feet was at the Caesar Rodney Half-Marathon on Sunday, March 27th in Wilmington, Delaware. RWA had a nice turnout with Maurice participating in the Half-Marathon with an overall time of 1 hour 51 minutes while Cliff ran a stellar 5k race close to the front of the pack with a time of 26 minutes! Tim showed up to run a portion of Maurice’s race, but ended up running the entire half-marathon alongside him! Thank you for your support, Tim! Jessie, our Team Coach, was there to cheer everyone on as well!
In other news, RWA participated in an all-for-fun Relay Race against St. John’s on Friday, March 25th at City Hall. Each team had two relay teams compete between the two monuments on the north end of City Hall. While no one kept track of who came in which place, RWA still proved to have some talented res and non-res sprinters.
Our Dragon of the Month is James! He is someone who has consistently attended morning runs. He never fails to show his support for his fellow teammates and has even come out before weekend races to wish the best to the competing runners. James has had perfect attendance since he started with BoMF and has proved that you do not need to be the fastest or run the most mileage to be a crucial member of a team. Way to go, James!
