Paul Marmaro of Delray Beach enjoyed his new masters status,
winning Sunday's Fall Fling Over The Hill 5K Sunday at Tradewinds
Park in Coconut Creek.
Marmaro celebrated his 40th birthday
and new age group by topping a field of runners 40 and over in 16
minutes and 58 seconds for 3.1 miles.
The fitness instructor
said he was surprised by the outcome since he had not begun serious
fall training. The last time he ran a 5:28 mile pace was in May at
the Disney Half-Ironman.
Tim Nicholls, 44, of Hollywood was
second in 17:54. His wife, Mary, 40, won the women's race in 20:29.
North Broward Prep cross country coach Gary Bloome, 50, of Boca
Raton was third in 18:02.
The Over The Hill Gang field was
given a five-minute head start over runners 39 and under in the
Young and the Restless 5K, won by Jimmy Villalobos, 34, of Fort
Lauderdale in 16:06 and Tracey Bunce, 31, of Hollywood in
19:00.
Marmaro said he was motivated to pick up the pace when
he saw the younger runners catching up at the turnaround.
"To
run in the 16s without training I am very happy with," said Marmaro,
who plans to run the Nov. 14 Marathon of the Palm Beaches and Walt
Disney World Marathon in January.
"I didn't push the pace. I
just went out to see how my body would react to a 5K without
training. It's really encouraging. I can't wait to start
training."
Marmaro isn't really out of shape. He trains full
time with his clients and had been training for triathlons. He said
he intends to dispute the "old age" theory.
"I would like to
disprove this myth that age dictates that the body is going to slow
down when you get older," Marmaro said. "It's made me stronger
mentally and physically. I don't quite get the age thing. Age has
nothing to do with racing fast.
"I plan on running faster
when I start training. That's the goal, to get back into racing
shape and see what this body can do at the old age of 40.
