Sterghos wins Peachtree Road Race in Kuwait

Shop by satellite began in 2004, and were also held Monday in several locations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Like the annual race in Atlanta, races were completed by July 4 satellite and sponsored by the Atlanta Journal Constitution and the Atlanta Track Club.The race started early Monday morning in Kuwait City, helping participants to avoid extremely high temperatures that are a part of everyday life in this region.

"Fortunately it was a beautiful day," said Sterghos during a telephone interview Wednesday morning. "It was nice and cool since they started in the morning. It was a little windy, but not too bad and it kept the temperatures down a bit. He was hit down the 120s, upper teens lately. It starts to get this time of year when temperatures begin to rise.Fortunately it's a dry heat so it's not as bad with the humidity (low). "

"The landscape around here is not the prettiest. There are a lot of sand and concrete," said Sterghos. "The race was good. We had a lot of people come (to run). I used the race as a training run since my attention is now on the triathlon. My goal was to keep a certain pace all the time and I did that. My time was a PR (personal record). Me and another guy has led from the start and after about two miles, I dropped the other guy and held my pace. Therefore, it was smooth."" I qualified for the WCAP, but decided to go ahead and make the deployment and get some good leadership experience under my belt, "said Sterghos." I'll be able to do some shopping before returning to Kenya and Turkey. Every soldier is entitled to a rest of 15 days and the recovery period to return to the States or elsewhere. Most soldiers take half-way through the deployment so that I will use my time to go to these races. "" I work a lot and we do our mission here, "said Sterghos." Fitness in the Army is part of your job, a part of your personal readiness.Being in the military, with the leadership, you are a warrior and this is part of the maintenance yourself. Some tasks you have to do and if you are not fit, you can not accomplish.

Lightning 368 Training Day to Haversham Sailing Club - Yachts and ...

A beautiful day weather-wise welcomed 14 Lightning 368s to Haversham Sailing Club for the first of the Class' training days for 2011. With the 368s race-season resuming in just two weeks, this day offered a fantastic chance to blow-away the cobwebs and catch up with friends, all under the watchful eye of LN supremo Paul White and Supernova superhelm Barry Winter.

Uniquely, the 4 most recent John Claridge built boats were all together at the venue, so the obligatory photo-opportunity was taken, prior to an overview on rig settings - emphasising light winds seeing as the current and forecast breeze barely raised a ripple on the water of this picturesque club.

Once things were explained, Paul took to the water - in Caroline Key's new boat - to demonstrate the effectiveness of Roll-Tacking and Roll-Gybing in these kind of conditions, it was the big grin on Pauls face that should be a warning to his bank manager as his: "I want one!" demeanour kept him on the water just a little longer than he'd probably planned!

Then it was over to us... like cygnets behind mother swan, a whole line of Lightnings went out and proceeded to roll and gybe at will - some with more success than others - Rupert Whelan nothing short of spectacular and Lee Bratley with an interesting 'Limbo' Gybe!

However, things were coming together towards the end of the morning as heel angles became braver and battens began to pop through with more vigour.

A fantastic lunch was offered up by David Machin & Co, almost making everyone want to stay in the clubhouse, but Paul & Barry had other ideas as a series of short Windward/Leeward races were organised in order that we put into practice our newly-acquired 'skills'.

When class chairman Wayne Jenner found himself in the unfamilar position of leader, we knew that things had certainly progressed through the day!

It was a fantastic day for the class, wonderfully hosted by Robin and the team at Haversham who really pulled out the stops to make this a typically sociable, friendly Lightning day. A massive thanks to all at the club and to all that took part, hopefully we'll see some wild rolls during the course of the next round of the Lightning368 Open/Traveller Series at Hillingdon on Sunday May 3rd.
