Trexlertown 21K Race July 17, 2010

Herb winning the field sprint

Herb 1st place Pro Masters/Vet

Report from Herb Gayle on the Race

I won the pro master/veteran men's 21k race overall on Saturday, July 17, 2010 in Trexlertown, Pennsylvania. I chased the leaders up the hill on the final lap 13th of this half marathon and then passed everyone coming down hill to take the win. Earlier in the race, some of the master/veteran skaters would attack on the up hill to try and wear down the sprinters, but some skaters would catch back up. I sat near the front of the pack of 15 skaters and I knew with the extreme heat, that it was not wise for those skaters to be hammering away.

Peter Doucet from Mississauga , Ontario skated an awesome race and won the elite men's 21k race The young boys kept up 9 blistering lap times, so it was a very good day of racing for Canadian skaters.

There were lots of strong master/veteran skater pushing the pace and I was struggling at the half way point around lap six, plus the high temperatures in the 90's were taking a toll. My body temperature was on high alert, so much that I felt like a baked chicken. "Herbal chicken" was on the race menu today.(ha ha)

Canada Day Marathon 7/01/10 Pg 1

Report from Herb Gayle

Part 1:

"Canada Day Inline Marathon, July 1, 2010. Location: Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.

Super fast race from the gun with lots of attacks and of course rolling hills. I got dropped from the leaders after the 1st lap of 3. Andy Kostka stayed in much longer and I believed he finished 'unofficially' 13th overall.

My time was slow and nothing special to write about. There were a few crashes and Andy told me that Morgan Williams crashed just before the finish line in the field sprint. According to Morgan, 'an Ottawa skater by the name of Adrian Loewen, stepped out as he was about to pass him at the line. Morgan said he was okay, but he was walking with a slight limp after the race.

Jacky, a Toronto skater was in my pack at one point or another and he had close call with a car. Apparently, two vehicles had stopped on the race course, which had plenty of signage that a race was in progress. A car and a Ford 150 truck was in the middle of a blind right hand turn. The drivers were talking to a police officer and oblivious to the skaters, so when we came around the right turn which had a slight down hill, I yelled for the cars to get out of the road because it was scary and plain disregard for our safety. Jacky decided to pass the car on the left side as the driver was moving over to the left, next I saw Jacky doing one of those Superman drives onto the grass. I slowed down a bit and lost the second pack that was just a few feet in front of me. I felt bad for Jacky as he bailed on the grass, but he able to get back up and another pack of skaters brought him back to my group."
