Good morning, Incline Club!
Rampart Range in the News
The land that we share with a popular shooting range is in the news this

Last Sunday’s Workout
Looks like some people forgot to set their watches ahead 1 hour because
only 52 ICers made the run! Or, maybe some of us just wanted some extra
sleep! ;) Either way, this is the smallest group in quite a while.

“R” REPORTS:
***********************************************
29th Annual Capitol 10K
Charles Scheibe reports:
Location: Austin, Texas
Date: April 2, 2006
Distance: 10 K
Goal: 52 minutes
Results: 52:06
Website: http://www.statesman.com/sports/content/cap10k/index.html
General Information: 10K road race through downtown Austin; very warm,
humid conditions; 13,600 runners
Things Done Right: Paced conservatively, taking into account the muggy
conditions! Completed my 29th straight Capitol 10K ... all under the
original qualifying time of 55 minutes ... opportunity to go for number 30
next year.
Things Done Wrong: Neglected speedwork for months before race!

Platte River Trail Half Marathon
Connilee Walter reports:
Location: Littleton to Denver
Date: April 2, 2006
Distance: Half Marathon
Goal: 1:29:xx
Results: 1:29:35, although this does take some explanation!
Website: http://www.platteriverhalf.com
General Information: Don’t be fooled by the word ‘trail’ in the race name.
This race is 100% paved and 90% of that is concrete. It starts out in the
clean and friendly downtown of Littleton, loops through the ‘city’, then
drops down to the Platte River where concrete trails lead runners along
the sometimes-scenic river towards Denver with a finish line and party at
the Buckhorn Exchange.
The course is relatively flat with the only ‘hill’ being a major overpass
towards the end of the race, and several other ups and downs as runners
passed under roads on the trail.
This year, sadly, a body was found on the course and the course was
re-routed through an even-less-scenic and industrial part of Denver,
making this an unexpected 13.8 mile race instead of 13.1.
My clock time was 1:34:30 for 13.8 miles. Adjusted back to true half
marathon pace, finish time was posted on the Boulder Road Runners site as
1:29:35.
Things Done Right: Running consistent mileage lately. Ran 2 of my 3
previous long runs on pavement to prep for the course. Dressed
appropriately for the weather which was warm (high in the 50s) but with
winds that, according to the forecast would reach 20-30 MPH by late
morning. Hydrated well and remembered the things I needed on race morning.
Ran my goal pace and hit my goal time despite the things done wrong.
Things Done Wrong: Intended to run the first half of the race with a
(faster) running buddy, thinking that she would pull ahead at mile 6.5.
Unfortunately, she fell off pace and I stuck with her until mile 8, hoping
to salvage the race for both of us. The lesson learned is that I
should have bopped ahead at 6.5 if not sooner when it became clear that we
were at different paces that day.
In the end, it turned out ‘ok’ in that I was able to ‘spring forward’ (pun
intended, daylight savings weekend, get it? ;) and ran the last 5.8 at
better than planned goal pace and hit my goal time. Just wish I’d done it
sooner and I might have PR’d.

Platte River Trail Half Marathon
Pablo Najera reports:
Location: Denver
Date: 4/2/06
Distance: 14 Miles
Goal: 2:00
Results: 1:57
Website: http://www.platteriverhalf.com/
General Information: Felt good, completed my goal
Things Done Right: Kept a good pace throughout the race

Platte River Trail Half Marathon
Edgar Trillo reports:
Location: Denver
Date: April 2, 2006
Distance: 14 Miles
Goal: 1:35
Results: 1:36
Website: http://www.platteriverhalf.com/
General Information: Great training race. It was originally a 1/2
marathon, but due to a homicide on the trail, race directors had to modify
the course during the race making it 7/10th of a mile longer. I was
hoping for a 1:35 on the normal distance (13.1), but I end up with a 1:36
on the modified course. I think I would have been under 1:30 on the
normal distance, which is better than I expected.
Things Done Right: Kept a solid pace throughout the race.
Things Done Wrong: I didn’t have much of a kick on the last half mile or
so.
Other Stuff: There was a homicide on the course between miles 10 and 11
and the course directors didn’t find out until the leader was on mile 8.

4/2/2006 Sun: Looks like some people forgot to set their watches ahead 1
hour because only 52 ICers made the run today. That is the smallest group
in quite a while. The run was the Waldo/LRR double and although the
temperature was OK the wind was cold. However, there were only a few steps
in snow or ice on the whole run and things finally did warm up a little.
This Thursday we start up our fast workouts:-)
