Week 7: Matt Pimentel
(Andover, MA.)
Due to a pretty quiet racing week, this week's athlete of the week is MVS' own resident injury prevention specialist Matt Pimentel.
Matt did a few runs with us this week...drank some beers...skated in 2 EMRHL roller hockey games on Saturday morning....and then went skiing the rest of the weekend up at Mt. Snow in VT. Hey 'may' have even run sometime this weekend, but I'm not sure...I actually, really doubt it. Regardless, this 2:25 marathoner was a 3 sport athlete this weekend. Nice Job Matt.

Matthew is very highly respected in the MVS community. Here's what some other Striders have said about him:
"He may look tough, but the pinky finger thing suggests many afternoons holding teacups rather than tempo runs." - MVS Webmaster Dave Smith
"He's kinda creepy...sometimes he just plain freaks me out...but he's really fast and he lets me use his ice machine so I put up with all his verbal and psychological abuse and have become pretty good friends with him." - Molly Taber
