Team NORSA's Biggest Showing Yet at the 2007 Turkey Chase!

Thanksgiving day 2007 proved to be a reunion of epic proportions. Team NORSA came together to compete in the 25th annual YMCA Turkey Chase in Bethesda MD. This 10K race wound its way through some of suburban Maryland's finest neighborhoods, around the world famous National Institutes of Health, and through downtown Bethesda before finishing on Old Georgetown Road.

Team NORSA's large turnout helped make this race Montgomery County's largest. NORSA Tri team members Adam, Jon Spurlock, Steven Long, John Long, Matt White, and Tom Saffell were joined by runners Bethan Haaga, Allison Iciek, and Alex Paplomatas.

Newcomer Alex provided himself to be NORSA's elite runner, finishing 22nd overall with a time of 37:19 while Jon Spurlock continued to show his running strength by finishing with a time of 45:35.

Thanks to all who came to cheer the team on.
