Oh doctor! Cheryl Bellaire also delivered at Philly meet
|
Noting my Kevin Forde entry, a new friend writes that Dr. Cheryl Bellaire, 50 going on 21, also ran the  Philadelphia Distance Track Classic last weekend. “It was so cold and windy you just wanted to get the race over with; I think that is why modafinil Kevin and I went out so fast,” Cheryl told my correspondent. In her 800, she ran a 36-second 200 and came through the 400 in 76 on the way to a finish time of 2:38.95. At Landover nationals, Cheryl was part of the Greater Philadelphia Track Club’s American Record team in the W50 4×800. The team also won the 4×400. Cheryl, whose specialty is high-risk obstetrics, won the 400 (69.16) and the 800 (2:40.22) at indoor nationals and finished second in the mile. Joel Dubow of Philadelphia Masters said: “Cheryl arguably had the most visually impressive win of the day with a surging final 150m and 12-meter victory over a tough field in her 800 race.” Here’s a video of Dr. B, who makes antabuse Brooks shoes look really good.

Not only is Cheryl a major asset to Greater Philadelphia Track Club but I also think she’s about to have a stand out track season.
I announced Cheryl for the first time at the Ursinus meet in March. I was confused about two things: (1) I thought she was in W35. (2) I didn’t think she was very good. It turns out that she is in W50, and I have also found that she is terrific in both the 400 and 800. Oh, well, we learn new things every day.
Sorry I didn’t make a good first impression, I love my teammates and Coach Chris Baylees from Ursinus Thank you
Well, I guess I will have to clarify. BEFORE I saw Cheryl run at Ursinus I thought she (A) was in W35 and (B) wasn’t going to show me too much. Instead, she showed me a lot AT URSINUS and showed me a great deal more at Landover. I agree with Kevin Forde that Cheryl will show us even more during the outdoor season.

Cool…I wish I was W35
