Jeff Falberg's 1997 Race Results

1997 has been a year where 10 of my races have resulted in personal records: the 1M, 2M, 5K, 3.5M, 4M, 10K, 10M, 20K, 1/2 Marathon, and the Marathon. In addition, I have won two road races and I have also placed second overall in points in this years competitive Westport Summer Series where my consistent placement has ranged between 2nd and 9th place overall.

This was also the year I joined up with Hitek Racing, ran a marathon without even stopping, and broke my 5K personal record from 1982 (18:28) five times over. I had also written my first primitive homepage on February 6, 1997 within a few hours originally for the purpose of advertising my web page in the Bridgeport GOP's Lincoln Day Dinner booklet.

Extremities in 1997: On January 19 in 3 degree weather in Connecticut, I ran 15 miles from Southport through Westport and back which was a day after a 3 mile race in Stratford in 8 degree weather. This was the coldest conditions I've ever ran in. On June 4 in 102 degree weather in Litchfield Park, Arizona, I ran 8.5 miles which was the hottest conditions I've ever ran in. Only the best conditioned athletes should attempt this.
