Hey peoples,
First, thanks to everyone who came out today. Other than the rather large mosquitoes, it was a pretty good day for a hill climb. Hopefully everyone had a reasonably good time, well, except for that little climb. Anyway, results are now posted on https://ultrasignup.com/results_event.aspx?did=33962
Anatoliy set a new course record of 54:51, besting last year's mark by a bit over 30 seconds. Don't forget the half marathon and 50k next month if you're so inclined to run something a bit longer. Buffalo chili, beer, soda, and coffee mugs at the finish line. Hope to see you there.
We arrived at the parking just before the gate and checked in. We drove past the turnoff for Frary Peak, but that allowed us to see buffalo at sunrise, so it was a good thing we did. At the Frary Peak Trail Parking I checked in for a 9:06 start.
The trail was a blast, and the few runners I talked to were also having fun. I got an official time of 1:24:47, which coincides with Strava pretty well.
I'm totally digging that suffer score. I came in 22nd of 31. It's a great start as I train for my goals next year.
- Pikes Ascent (half marathon)
- Big Sky VK
- Elbrus Race 2016
I'll have to do a half at a 11:00 pace or better to qualify for the ascent. For me that pretty much equates to a very flat trail, or a slightly downhill road half. I was going to attempt a Halloween Half, but I won't be able to peak that quickly after this one.
I also want to do a few more VK's over the year, so I'll have to stay on top of that. You too, stay in the loop.
