We ran the race again this year. It’s cold as usual. I guess Ryan gave a perfect summary! I am quite excited because this is my best 5K record!

Hey guys,

Great running today! We all ran hard and it paid off with a 2nd place finish by narrowly edging out the Cohen and Kahne groups. The Jacobsen Group won handily (the drug testing will begin tomorrow) with a score of 26 to our 73. See the attached file for full team results and individual results. For our team, I want to congratulate Tom for taking the top spot and 4th overall. He ran a smooth race and cut over 5 minutes off his time from last year! That means we can expect a 15 minute 5k from him next year. Meaghan ran a blistering time of 21:52 and is apparently a fan of Star Wars because she was quoted as saying “Now I am the master” to her mentor. Weiwei was the powerhouse for our team scoring some big points and sliced over 2 minutes from his time from last year! Dilini and
Lauren brought new meaning to pack running and finished neck-and-neck. Dilini cut over a minute from her time last year and has the rare distinction of running faster each year she has run this race (3 years!). Lauren had an amazing debut in her first appearance on our team. JoRel ran hard and was critical in displacing other competitors while securing our 2nd place finish. Great job guys, -Ryan

I can’t even believe this is the 5th time I went to the annaully Boston Sea Rover Clinic. As usual, the pictures and films are breath-taking, the people are as nice as you meet them on the dive boat and most importantly, the story is as inspring as always.

In terms of inspiring, the footage from the Ocean Men left the most impression on me. The footage shows the story of a coming movie about two men challeging the world record of free diving. Yes, free diving beyond 300+ feet is astounding. But I believe the true love for the sport is for the ocean – the eager to become a part of it.

Another story surprised me is the WKPP exploration of Wakulla Spring in Florida, led byCasey McKinlay. I couldn’t believe these divers stay in the water/cave for more than 20 hours and finally set the world record.

Looking around in reality, we just want more of inspring people/stories to exist.
