4/8/2007 Sun: Was it Easter? Was it the fog and the 24 degree humid freeze fest? Was it both. Whatever it was, only 48 came out for today’s run. But given the weather it was actually a pretty good run over on the Intemann and Section 16 trails. A light dusting of snow covered the uppers sections. But we got high enough to make out the outline of the sun which is something we have not seen for a couple of days!
4/5/2007 Thur: The first Thursday run of the season brought out 56 ICers. The workout was 30 minutes of 1 minute hard, 1 minute easy. With the trail a little damp it was perfect for running and quite a few picked up where they left off last year. 5 Hydro Street repeats rounded out the day.

“R” REPORTS:
***********************************************
Platte River Half Marathon — Lakewood, CO — April 1, 2007
Jon Teisher reports:
Distance: 13.1 miles
Goal: 1:35:00
Results: 1:42:06
Website: http://www.platteriverhalf.com/
General Summary:
Decided to head up north for my first road race in quite some time. Pretty nice course, paved walkway along the Platte River from Lakewood to downtown Denver. Good support along the course, really nice post-race shindig.
Things Done Right:
First half went very well. Started conservatively and was able to hold
sub-seven minute miles until the halfway point.
Things Done Wrong:
As this was just a training run, I didn’t really prepare the way I normally would for a race. Stayed out a bit late the night before, could definitely feel that the second half of the run.

Rockin K Trail Runs — Kanopolis State Park, Kansas — April 07, 2007
Ted Bidwell reports:
Distance: 50 miles
Goal: Run 50 miles
Results: Finished
Website: http://www.ksultrarunners.info/rkpage.html
General Summary:
Technical single track trails, 1st mile is on pavement. Two loops for the 50 milers; 1st loop of 26.4 loop for marathoners had snow, ice and 18 degree temps. Rocky with steep, short ups and downs, creek crossings and one river crossing up to my belly. 2nd loop is mainly the same with a cut-off at mile 36 to remove 2 miles from the course so the 50 milers run 50.77 miles. with warming into the low 40s, the trails became muddy, slippery and sometimes a quagmire.
Things Done Right:
Ran 50 miles...finished.
Kept my sense of humor and enjoyed the run
Things Done Wrong:
Lots of stuff. My camelback tube froze before I even had my first sip and it didn’t free up till mile 20. Ran the first loop with some marathoners and probably ran the 1st loop a little fast. Got lost on the second loop in the first mile. I ran this 5 hours earlier, how stupid! Should have eaten more at the manned aid station that we pass 4 times.
Any Other Stuff:
At the finish was chili a warm fire and beer.

Umstead 100 Ultramarathon — Umstead State Park, NC — 03/31/07-04/01/07
Anita Bower reports:
Distance: 100 miles
Goal: PR
Results: barely. 22:41:42
Website: http://www.umstead100.org
General Summary:
I was hoping to run this race under 21 hours, however, not having a crew made it tough, as I kept having to go inside the main lodge to get my gels, food, etc. However, despite the heat and blisters, I managed a PR by about 15 minutes. Not as good as I was hoping, but still a PR. I think having good crew as compared to pacers, which can actually distract you, is very important. More important than pacers. This was a training run for the Badwater Double I am running in July.
Things Done Right:
Didn’t do the drop bag thing at any of the other aid stations other than the main race headquarters. If I have a drop bag at an aid station, I tend to stop and get something out of it whether I need to or not and waste a lot of time. Brought along lots of “ultra-crack,” Little Debbies, and devil music to listen to, which kept me going and in a semi-decent mood.
Things Done Wrong:
Went into the race tired. Didn’t do anything close to even splits on the eight loops that the course consists of; what the **** happened?! Forgot electrolytes during the hottest part of the day and got dehydrated. Wore old shoes. Really bonked on the second to last loop. Didn’t recover well, as I had to drive eight hours to PA five hours later, and ended up getting lost in the bad part of Washington DC for three hours. Life was definitely not dull!
Any Other Stuff:
Umstead State Park is beautiful. Lots of flowering vines and trees. You can smell the wisteria in the air. It is very runnable, but the endless climbs will catch up with you later in the race if you don’t watch it earlier. Sadly, the park is being surrounded with more stupid oversized houses being built. The sound of birds was replaced with bulldozers in some areas, much like what is happening in Manitou, with people moving into superficial “McLofts” with concrete parking garages, and all the waste and greed associated with it.
