LEADVILLE R REPORTS:
###############################################
Rick Pearcy
Race = Leadville Trail 100 Mile Race Across the Sky
Location = Leadville, CO.
Date = August 16-17, 2003
Distance = 100 miles
Goal = finish
Results = 29:50
Website = http://leadvilletrail100.com
General = Leadville had lots to offer this year- rain, cold, hail, snow. About 200 finishers out of 500 racers.
Right = Good intake of fluids/calories. About 20 oz per hour of Sustained Energy. No hunger, no stomach problems, no cramps.
Proper clothing. I had warm and water-proof clothing for all the rain/snow/cold.
Great crew/pacers. ICers Kim Kitchen and Rick Crawford helped out for the entire 30 hours.
Wrong = Wimped out on the last 13 miles. I was an hour ahead of cutoff times going through the last aid station. I knew I just had to walk in to finish- and I did. If I had just walked/ran the last section, I could have PR by about an hour.
Other Stuff = This year I completed five Leadville events- the Leadville Trail Marathon, The Leadville 50 mile Silver Rush Bike Race, the Leadville 100 Mile Mountain Bike, the Leadville 10K race, and the Leadville 100 mile run.

OTHER R REPORTS:
###############################################
Travis Boone reports:
Race = La Luz Trail Run
Location = Albuquerque, NM
Date = August 03, 2003
Distance = 9 miles
Goal = 2 hours
Results = 1:59:23
Website = http://www.aroadrun.org/La_Luz/La_Luz.htm
General = Race begins in Albuquerque, NM just off of Tramway Boulevard. Race begins with 1.8 miles of paved road and then 7.2 miles of dirt single track at a 12% grade to the top of Sandia Peak (elevation 10,678).
Right = Carried water — I passed numerous runners at the water stops.
Trained on Pike’s Peak — Those New Mexicans (I’m a former New Mexican) don’t have any mountains like that!
Wrong = Wasn’t prepared for the first 1.8 miles on pavement. That’s always the hardest part of mountain trail races for me.
Other Stuff = In order to help train for the PP Marathon in two weeks, I ran back down the mountain to the bottom. They all thought I was crazy. It was quicker to run down than drive.

Jackie Burhans reports:
Race = Barr Trail Mountain Race
Location = Manitou Springs, CO
Date = July 13, 2003
Distance = 12 miles
Goal = Measure gap between my time and cutoff
Results = 3:23
Website = http://www.runpikespeak.com
General = I know this is very late but I really meant to put this in. After I signed up I paid attention to my times going up and down during training and thought there was NO WAY to make the cut off. My fastest time up was 2:50 and down was around 1:20+ but I figured I’d do it and then I’d know how much I had to improve.
Right = Trained with the Incline Club. On Barr Trail. And lots of ICers were there to cheer each other on. As volunteers, spectators and runners it was a boost every time I saw someone from the club and they said something encouraging. Both here and at the Marathon this really made a HUGE difference!
Wrong = What’s to complain about?
Other Stuff = Just so you get a sense of what its like to be at the back of the pack...as I ran up and saw people tearing down I thought---well at least, being slow, there is less pressure. I’m not trying to win outright, be first female, win my age group or beat my PR so this is kind of relaxing. Oy. Of course I didn’t think I could make the cutoff but I did give it my best shot. When I got to the turnaround in an unprecedented 2:16 and an ICer said “You’ve Got It!” I replied: “It’s feasible.” And it was, but barely. The whole way down at each checkpoint it remained...feasible. It wasn’t until I hit the asphalt just before Hydro that I believed I could really do it. That is a LOT of stress. Does everyone already know that when you turn off Hydro to the finish line its actually slightly downhill? And I didn’t faint or throw-up. Both pleasant surprises ;-)

8/14/03 Thur: 43 ICers got together for a time check — the last club workout of the season. Ascent runners checked their split time from the race start to Ruxton Ave while Marathon runners went on to Hydro Street. It feels awesome to get to run such a short little workout. Bring on the PPA/M/D!
