Thank You from a Visitor
Matt Messner writes: Thank-you for posting the run maps and descriptions
on the website. I am visiting from Seattle and today I went out and ran
the Soda Springs — Rampage Range Rd — Waldo Canyon — UPT loop. It was
a tough run, but really enjoyable. I’m toying with the idea of running an
ultra this year (White River). To view a blog I wrote after today’s run
go to www.mattmessner.com. Thanks again.
(Note from editor: Nice write-up in Matt’s blog; take a look!)

Race at Paint Mines in July — New Race!
Nancy Hobbs writes: I know it is early, but I thought it would be fun to
send out a teaser on a new trail race this year. On Thursday, July 27 at
6:30PM we’ll have the first Paint Mines Race and Fun Run. Approximately
3-4 miles in length all within the confines of Paint Mines Park
(http://adm.elpasoco.com/parks/pdf/Story%20of%20the%20Paint%20Mines.pdf)
which is a very cool spot. We’re also looking to include a short kids
obstacle/fun run.
The Colorado Running Company will be doing the timing and results and I’ll
be doing the logistics as part of my new job with the El Paso County Parks
and Leisure Services Department. We’ll have some cool prizes. This race is
part of the El Paso County Fair Activities (the fair runs July 22-29). It
would be great if the Icers could carpool out and do this run as opposed
to the usual Thursday night run in Manitou — and get credit! Yes, it’s a
bit further to go to Calhan, but it’ll be really unique and fun. Stay
tuned for details.

Winter Series 20k
Ted Bidwell reports

Distance: 20K
Goal: Tempo run workout — 8 minute miles
Results: Just under 8 per mile/1:37:31
Website: http://www.pprrun.org/
General Information: Last of the Winter Series runs, long enough to get a
good workout and run a little faster than I need to. See where my
training is.
Things Done Right: Went out easy at 8:15/mile and ran a negative second
half split. Ran a little extra during the week and did my normal weight
training throughout the week to in sure that I did not “race” this run.

2/26/2006 Sun: An AWESOME day brought out 74 ICers. This was the nicest
Sunday weather-wise that we have had in a long, long time. Pretty much the
exact opposite of last week. We headed up Rampart Range Road and then
down, over and up into Waldo Canyon via the bail trail to return via the
UTE Pass Trail. Yes, I said it, but it was just an awesome day for
running!
