Dalcorp Racing and AREA 51: "ARE YOU READY TO SKYDIVE?" Part 2

From the sound of some of the feedback we received from part 1 of "ARE YOU READY TO SKYDIVE?" we might have some new jumpers the next time we go out as a group! We will keep everyone informed as to when that will be and we'll let you know once we set the next date...stay tuned!
There was another story within a story last Saturday concerning Margaret Davis and Colleen Heublein. It was very important that once we set the date for the jump that we did it early in the morning because of a scheduling issue for the mother/daughter duo. Mahgy and Colleen had a few things on the calendar that weekend. Colleen drove up from San Diego Saturday morning; Mahgy down from Azusa. After making their jumps and a quick lunch, Colleen left to head back to Valley Center to pack for an overnight stay in San Diego. Meeting up with Mahgy at the park and ride by North County Fair at 2:00pm it was down to The Sheraton in San Diego to check in at the Expo before it closed at 5pm. Check in? For what? The two were running the America's City Finest Half Marathon on Sunday morning! After check in it was over to the Bristol hotel in the Gaslamp district at around five and then off to dinner. On Sunday morning the wake up gun went off at 4:15am and then it was into a cab at 5:15am and off to Balboa Park. The only problem was that the traffic was so bad that after a mile or so they jumped out of the cab and went the last mile or so, uphill, on foot to get to the bus loading area at the park. They got to the start about 40 minutes before the starting gun went off at 7:00am. Colleen's been putting Mahgy's age on the back of her legs, 87, to answer some of the questions before they're asked. She enjoys the reactions of many of the runners who, when they see her age, are awestruck! And they should be! They both had a great race recording a finishing time of 2:46:51 and a 10k split of 1:12:36. Their time would have been a little better had it not been for a mid race pit stop to fix Mahgy's shoe. So after the finish of the race and the awards ceremony (she won her division with a time that was fast enough to have won in the 70's bracket), it was back to the hotel.... Colleen suggested that they walk the 2 1/2 miles back to the hotel....so they did! A quick shower and back in the car by 12:30pm and headed home. So, what did you do last weekend? Congratulations Mahgy and Colleen! You inspire us all!!!

Hope you enjoy the pictures below featuring the group 2 jumpers. Even though the first lady of Dalcorp, Debbie Nocita, jumped with group 1, the pictures below were just too cool not include them. The only question left to ask is...."ARE YOU READY TO SKYDIVE?"
