Ian's Update - July 24th
​
Updates to scores after the Chunky Monkey 5k and 10k races. There were four competitors in the race series in each of the races. In the 5k Kellie Nickerson ran a great race which would have been worth 151 points — but since she had a better point score in an earlier 5k her overall score remains at 172. Chuck Fuller scored 116 points, his first points this year. Margaret Matthews scored 108 points and now leads her sister in the under 20 female division. Ian Maddieson scored 98 points for a total so far this year of 239.

In the 10k, Todd Nickerson ran an excellent race that would have been worth 162 points, but like Kellie, he had an even higher score in an earlier 10k, so his total points remain at 351. Cliff Matthews scored 130 points which takes his total to 529, highest individual score as well as leading in the male 50-59 group. Sara Steward scored 128 which slightly increases her total to 254, keeping her lead in the female 30-39 division. Steve Nickerson also had an earlier higher-scoring 10, so his points total remains at 277. However, I owe an apology to Steve for not noticing that he has earned membership of a higher age-group. He is actually currently leading the male 60-69 category. Congratulations!

​Points are accumulated in a series of designated races in or not far from Albuquerque.​

• The designated races include the following six categories:  5K, 10K, half-marathon, and marathon on road courses, plus a “short” trail run, and a 50K or 50 mile ultra.
• For each category of race there are several options so that competitors may avoid problems for entry, such as field size limitations, schedule conflicts, etc.
• Points are awarded based on how your finish time compares with the median time for the event. Median time = 100 points. If you are faster you'll score over 100; slower, less than 100.
• Final point score is the sum of your highest four scores in any of the six categories
• The competition extends over the calendar year.
• Competition is divided into 10-year age groups except for the oldest and youngest:    0-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80+, female and male. Members moving up an age group during the year will belong to the higher age group if their birthday falls before July 1.​​​​​​
