Sent: Friday, March 10, 2000 3:20 PM Subject: Incline Club V4 LR #16 The grass in my yard is starting to turn green!!! I know better than to think we are done with the ugly stuff but this weather, as of late, has just been AWESOME. Once again I am getting this e-mail out on a Friday but at least this time I have a “real” excuse. It went live last night and it is my first ASP/ODBC/SQL code and OK, I admit it, I am proud of it — sue me!!! www.skyrunner.com/search/find.asp #### This Sunday, March 12, 8 a.m. meet in the COG parking lot. Up to Barr Camp and out Elk Park to the clearing and back. 3-3.5 hours. Newbies turn back at Barr Camp. Come down Longs Ranch Road and back via the Ute Indian Trail to add on some time. We have not had much success this year getting out Elk Park for our extra time. In fact, the whole Barr Camp run has been rough this year but hang in there! Once again the warm weather could make for some bad ice on the top half of the run!!! #### Laura L writes: Found: A Pikes Peak Marathon glove on the Waldo Loop on Sunday, 3/5. Please see Tom K next Sunday if it’s yours. Also Found: Piece of Fila t-shirt in mud puddle on Long Ranch Rd. If you can identify the piece (right sleeve, left sleeve, or middle), it’s yours! (Gee, and I thought they would like their free shirt;-) #### Tom K writes: I have no Neal T phenomenon to report on for last Sunday’s run. #### Kyle P writes: Amy, Artichoke and I had a really good time on Sunday. We’ll be back for sure. #### Dave R writes: Saw you wanted to count how many in the Incline Club were going to Boston this year. I am — qualified in Austin’s Motorola Marathon by 11 seconds for my age group! Also my wife, Carol (non-member), qualified by 12 minutes in her age group and will run Boston too. #### Kevin C writes: I will be running Boston. #### Steve B writes: One month shy of my 45th birthday in the March 5th Napa Valley Marathon — my 31st marathon — I ran a PR of by over a minute in 2:36:23, placing 6th overall and 2nd master’s. I didn’t expect to run that fast this early in the season. I had thought low 2:40’s was reasonable, but the runners out ahead of me were like an irresistible force, pulling me towards them like a magnet as I moved up steadily from 9th to 6th over the last half of the race. It rained all night Saturday before the race, but by the time we lined up to start it had rained itself out. Overcast, with temperatures around 50, conditions were ideal. A slight drizzle for the last 15 minutes of the race was a welcome cool off. I credit it to the Incline Club trail running I’ve been doing since November of last year. Every Sunday we run for between 2-3 hours at altitudes from 6500 feet to 10,000 feet. I felt very strong through 23 miles, afterwards only slowing to an average of 6:20 miles to the finish. With this early success I hope to run under 2:35 the Boston Marathon next month. #### Larry Miller writes: Here is what I have for names of people that did the last of the winter series and the overall of the series Short Series First part is how they did in the 10K, second part is how they did in the overall series, they ran 3K, 4M, 5M, 10k.

Weather was perfect for running with only a few bad patches of ice to deal with although there was still a good amount of snow left on Longs Ranch Road. Kees G, Louise E and Neal T received A T-shirt today for their pasta antics. Loop times are dropping big-time as many are getting really strong after more than 3 months of killer long runs. #### Go out hard, when it hurts speed up... Matt Carpenter www.skyrunner.com
