We’re excited to announce that our Athlete of the Month for September- as voted by our coaches and group leaders- is Erin Simone!

Erin had an incredible summer of training, showing up consistently to our Wednesday night workouts and regularly joining our long runs. Her hard work paid off with a huge personal best of 1:29 in the half marathon in Windsor, achieved under hot and less-than-ideal conditions.

This performance ranks as one of our fastest women's masters half marathon times ever, earning Erin 5th overall on the day. We know even faster times are ahead when the conditions are more favorable - but this was an awesome sign of things to come.
Congrats, Erin!
