ICers,
Good afternoon!
***
Warmer Weather and Base Building
What a great warm-weather week it’s been. It feels like summer, or at
least like spring. But alas we have several months ahead to continue
building a strong base for summer races; keep up the good work!
***
Williams Canyon Permits?
From Matt: Just a reminder that with the start of the new year it is time
to renew your liability waiver to run in Williams Canyon or up Serpentine
Drive to the Cave of the Winds.
What, you never signed a liability waiver? Shame on you! Its free — just
head up to the Cave of the Winds and go to the desk and ask to sign one.
This allows you to run on their land. Not only do I think it is only fair
but I think it is awesome that they have this option and wish the owners
of the Incline would take note!

Wash Your Hands, Stay Healthy!

in mind that the flu is now widespread in Colorado and on average will
stay that way for the next 6-7 weeks. Watch out and wash your hands often!

Trail will be impacted for approximately three weeks due to excavation
work on the north side of the trail. However, our contractors will be

“R” REPORTS:
***********************************************
Craig Hafer reports:
Race: Tucson Marathon (http://www.tucsonmarathon.com/)
Location: Tucson, AZ
Date: Sunday December 4, 2005
Distance: 26.2 miles
Goal: 3:17
Results: 3:16:37
General: Perfect marathon weather conditions. Sunny starting temperature
was about 40 degrees. Finishing temperature was about 55 degrees. No
wind. As the racers warmed up, they shed hats, gloves, shirts,
windbreakers, etc. This is a fast downhill course dropping about 2300 feet
fairly uniformly over the 26.2 miles.
Things done right: I trained properly for the race and had a good
prediction of my finishing time.
Things done wrong: I got just a little greedy and ran most of the race at
a pace for a 3:12 time. I lost a minute/mile the last four miles.
Other Stuff: My quads (and calves) were trashed at the end of the race.
Mile 25 was the toughest mile. Each time my foot hit the pavement, my leg
was shocked with pain. My recovery period was the longest for any race.
***********************
The next eight reports are RECUE RUN 10k REPORTS!
Location: Palmer Park
Date: January 1st, 2006
Website: www.pprrun.org
***********************
John O’Donnell reports:
Goal: Under 1.0 hr.
Results: 58:27
General: Good day for a race the weather was good compared to past years.
Other Stuff: just for fun and see how training is coming along
***
Larry DeWitt reports:
Goal: See how slow I am
Results: 41:48/9th Overall
General: First 10K in a long, long time. Ribs hurt afterward from
breathing so hard. Fun course, and a great way to start the year!
Things done right: Didn’t start out too fast and finished strong.
Things done wrong: I would say rode my bike 96 miles the day before, but I
did much better than I thought I would, so I guess it wasn’t wrong.
***
Glen Ash reports:
Goal: 50 min
Results: 51:21
General: Great weather, wearing shorts in January is OK. A welcome breeze
after an uphill first mile.
Things done right: A well organized race and thanks to the volunteers.
Things done wrong: Maybe the steak on New Years eve was the wrong thing to
eat, but----
***
Martina Ritchie reports:
Goal: ...to finish
Results: Finished.
General: Just a note to say I ran the 10K.
Things done right: I started out slow to get my legs warmed up and then
accelerated
Things done wrong: Nothing
***
Fred Wright reports:
Goal: Under one hour
Results: 59:32
General: Weather nice, especially for January, although very strong winds
up on the Mesa. The usual first class organization, prompt results and
awards ceremony, and tons of S & R folk there to inspire the runners.
Things done right: Went to bed early! Went easy on the liquid celebrations
Things done wrong: Didn’t warm up enough, due to participation in the
“Toddler Trot” with my twins. However, how can I do better than that?!
***
Gahlen Crawford reports:
Goal: 1:15
Results: 1:13:05
General: Nice race
Things done right: Ran with my daughter
Things done wrong: Never ran course
***
Rachel Crawford reports:
Goals: 1:15
Results: 1:13:04
General: Nice race
Things done right: Ran with my dad
Things done wrong: Never ran course before
***
Cathy Dilts reports:
Goal: finish
Results: finished
General: I planned on doing the Rescue Run 5K with a group of friends and
family, but decided to run the 10K at the last minute. Part of the
motivation was to finally have something to report!
Things done right: I have been training. At a low level, perhaps, but
better than typical for the holiday season.
Things done wrong: My socks kept wrinkling up, and I think I should have
worn a different pair of shoes. Also, I was not prepared for the steep
hill — more training on hills!
***
John Mills reports:
Goal: Under 1 hr
Results: 57:30
General: Great benefit race for the El Paso S&R. Scenic and challenging.
Lots of prize give-aways.
Things done right: Train with the IC.
Things done wrong: Not much
***********************************************
NON-R REPORTS:
***********************************************
Nancy Hobbs reports:
Race: Search and Rescue Run 5k
Location: Palmer Park
Distance: 5K
Goal: Finish without coughing too much
Results: 24:44
General: Not sure if the 5K qualifies for an “R,” but I did do a warm up
and warm down ... even ran back to the 5K turnaround after I raced to hand
out water. Then ran another 30 minutes later in the day. I got in about 2
hours.
Things done right: Slowed down when I started coughing and having trouble
getting air into my overworked lungs. Had a good post race warm down.
Things done wrong: Not long enough warm up so I ended up having breathing
issues due to some asthma/allergies/other unknown lingering issue. Wore
old racing flats that were too snug and got sore toes from my feet jamming
into them on the downhill.

1/8/06 Sun: 79 came out for a run around Waldo. 73 managed to get in the
group photo before the run
(http://www.inclineclub.com/photos/2006-01-08_lg.jpg) . Although windy, it
was a perfect day for running with quite a bit of the snow and ice melted
since we did this run 3 weeks ago. Please note, if you are going to use
the Bail Trail through Williams Canyon you must visit the Cave of the
Winds and sign the free liability waiver they have. The waiver expires at
the end of each year so now is the time to renew. Its only fair and I
think it is great that they give people this option unlike the owners of
the Incline...
