Sent: Wednesday, July 01, 1998 3:35 PM Subject: Incline V2 TH #13 LR #33 Boy that week went fast! As I write it is raining big time — I love it! Been too long. Tomorrow/Thursday/the 2nd is the 30 minute tempo run from Hydro Street up Barr Trail — meet by the fountain. Sunday the 5th is our 2nd run from Elk Park — meet at 7am at the toll booth. Sounds like everyone had some good runs last Sunday on Elk Park — I can’t wait because it is one of my favorites. To be perfectly honest I do not know what day the car race is — I assume the 4th but if for some reason it is Sunday I do not want to wait for it so will just run from the bottom. ********** Paul DeWitt reports: He read that the car race is a great way to see up close an ecosystem get destroyed! ********* Keath Grimes reports: I was back in Ohio and ran the Mohican Trail 100. My goal was to break 24 hours, since I have never completed a 100 Miler. I ended up doing a 20:39:05 and placing 7th out of 77. I was very pleased with my time and should be in good shape heading into Leadville this August. ********** Tim Allison reports: Kevin A, Matt V, and myself all ran in the Sailin’ Shoes 10K. I think Matt came in 5th, Kevin did about 38’, and I was at 38’ 15s. I finished an interesting experiment. In the Bolder Boulder I ran with orthotics, but not all out because of my hamstrings, and finished in 38’ 02s. Average Heart Rate was probably just under 160. In the Sailing Shoes 10K I went all out, but no orthotics, and finished with a worse time. Average Heart Rate was 170. (I also got in Kevin A’s way. I’ll have to talk to him.) Just goes to show that running efficiency is more important (to me) than the weight of my shoes. (My orthotics are roughly half as heavy as my shoes.) And because I’m from near Amish country: Top Ten Signs Your Amish Teen Is In Trouble... 10. Sometimes stays in bed til after 6am. 9. In his sock drawer, you find pictures of women without bonnets. 8. Shows up at barn raisings in full “Kiss” makeup. 7. When you criticize him, he yells, “Thou suck!” 6. His name is Jebediah, but he goes by “Jeb Daddy.” 5. Defiantly says, “If I had a radio, I’d listen to rap.” 4. You come upon his secret stash of colorful socks. 3. Uses slang expression: “Talk to the hand, cause the beard ain’t listening.” 2. Was recently pulled over for “driving under the influence of cottage cheese.” And the number one sign your Amish teen is in trouble... 1. He’s wearing his big black hat backwards. *********** You know the drill but here it is again: If you do not have your Peak Pass give them a call at (719) 684-2644. As always do not forget to mention “Friends of the Peak” so they can get a $5 donation to help with trail maintenance etc. This is the Peak Pass list I have. Again please let me know if you are not on the list.
