Superstars of the Week – May 14
by greenglove ~ May 14th, 2010. Filed under: for team members, superstars, week in review.Superstars…
Hats off to Lenard Yen and Maggie Kim who helped with our water stations last weekend. Lenard, one of our liver transplant recipients, has become an integral fixture on the Team Transplant scene…He has an amazing commitment to training and takes a holistic approach to racing which, make no mistake, he loves to do. He developed our team website (www.uwmcteamtransplant.com) which does a wonderful job of capturing the Team Transplant spirit!
Maggie is only about 4 months out from liver transplant and is already fitting right in with the rest of the group. It’s been fun getting to know her (and Seuss) and we look forward to sharing many more miles with her in the future!
…and it turns out that the weekend of May 2nd was a big one for racing…Here are some more Team Transplant results…
• Jeff Edelman, Vancouver Marathon, 3:53:58, a BIG PR!!!
• Marty Chakoian, Cinco de Mayo Half Marathon in Portland, 1:52:56…
• Seth Hennessey, Tacoma Half Marathon, 1:47:39
◦ The only race report I’ve gotten is from Seth who found the less hilly nature and smaller participant field of the Tacoma course to his liking. He also discovered the benefit of a running watch as he used it during the race to control his pace at the start and to maintain it throughout the entire 13.1 miles. He was also very excited that his wife walked and finished her first half marathon! Perhaps another Team Transplanter in the making??
