Flint Hills Awards – Yes, Dorli Deserved Most Insprirational!

Kudos to Dorli McWayne, Running Club North’s most Inspirational Runner for 2010. I’ve been tracking age graded leaders for a couple of years now, and Dorli has consistently been at the top of the women’s list. However, not only does she run fast age graded times, she also places very high in the overall rankings for individual races as well as Flint Hills Series points. She finished 2nd overall this year, at age 57.

Sorry for your loss Dorli. Barry was a fixture at the races and he will be missed. Jane Lanford’s words at the awards this past weekend were moving and spot on.

Here are Dorli’s times and (age grade percent) for this year’s series races that were standard distance:

Chena River Run 5K--21.12.2 (87.82%)
Midnight Sun Run 10K-- 43:44.8 (86.15%)
Flint Hills Mile—6:21.3 (85.66)
Santa Claus Half Marathon--1:38:45 (83.05%)
Equinox Marathon--3:55:36 (75.66%*)

*obviously Equinox is a good 10% more difficult than a normal course
