Congrats to #VFAC long time member Roy Millen who Congrats to #VFAC long time member Roy Millen who in the 45-49 age group beat his 2013 half marathon PB by 24 seconds finishing in 1:18:30 and 4th in his AG. He had a solid buildup through the winter months, perfect conditions, and his personal pacer, women's 3rd place finisher Sabrina Wilke which all contributed to the spectacular performance 😜. (Note no super shoes...)
