Report From The Top
Regarding conditions above Bottomless Pit (from Matt): There is one small patch of snow on the long switch-back after the Bottomless Pit sign. Not an issue at all. There is a little patch 2 switch-backs before the A-frame — again no issue. There is a small patch of snow just after the A-frame. Not an issue but people should go through/on it and stop going around it so a social trail is not made. There is a 30-40 step patch a couple of switch-backs before the 2 mile sign. Again, not an issue. I could see that the traverse from the 2-mile sign on over was a mess so called it a day there and ran back down. Good news is that even that appears to be melting fast:-)

NEXT RUN:
***********************************************
Thursday, June 21, 5:45pm — Hydro Street
Warm up from Memorial Park in time to get to Hydro Street. Do a 30 minute tempo up the Barr Trail. Run easy back down the Barr Trail and do 8 Hydro Street hill repeats.
Sunday, June 24, 8:00am — Memorial Park
A-frame and back or for the crazy as high as the snow will let us go with the caveat that I don’t recommend going higher than the A-frame as an out/back unless you have some serious training under your belt! That long of a run can do more harm than good if one is not ready for it.

(Editor’s note: Anyone else empathize with this? I was sure thankful for what felt like only a few small downhills, too!)

Deadwood Mickelson Trail Marathon — Deadwood, S.D. — 06/03/2007
Martina Ritchie reports:
Distance: 26.2 miles
Goal: finish
Results: did, hooray!!
Website: http://www.deadwoodmickelsontrailmarathon.org
General Summary:
Runners are bussed to start of trail. Then it’s 13.1 miles up a 3% grade on
mostly a graveled trail and 13.1 miles down the other side into Deadwood; small
amount of mud towards mile 20. Beautiful scenery, especially towards the end.
Things Done Right:
--ate a bagel & drank an electrolyte drink before starting. Am glad I’ve been
running hills as alot of runners were complaining about the 3% grade. I thought
if felt flat (thank goodness for the club). Kept a constant pace going up; tried
to eat at all aid stations (bananas, pretzels, M&M’s).
Things Done Wrong:
-was running with someone from Alabama going up as his pace was perfect. When
we started down though, I didn’t realize he was going too slow and my knee began
aching at mile 15. Tried walking-that hurt more-ending up sort of shuffling into
an aid station where someone gave me two Advil-which allowed me to start
running.
Comments on Calculator:
-didn’t use
Any Other Stuff:
--the aid stations had PowerAid, which I generally use for cool downs. Too
sweet; hurt my stomach.. Should have taken my own electrolyte drink. Also no Gu
at any of the stations. Cut off is 7 hours which is more than generous. Spagetti
dinner had nothing to drink but water (so bring your own if you go)

Santa Cruz Mtns.Trail Run — Santa Cruz, CA — June 16, 2007
Lori Hawkins reports:
Distance: 10k,21k,29k,50k
Goal: 29k in 4 hours
Results: 4:14
Website: http://www.pctrailruns.com/Santa_Cruz_Mountains.htm
General Summary:
Pacific Coast Trail Runs puts on “Runs that Aren’t Races in Beautiful Places"
and with a backdrop of the California coast, who’s to argue? Except us here in
Colorado. Well organized race, great snacks and support, very friendly
runners--reminded me of IC people! Ups and downs but nothing extreme, with 2
river crossings thrown in. Foggy day, overcast, perfect for running (not
perfect for fans who went to the beach to kill time).
Things Done Right:
Ate well early, kept shoes on for river crossing, kept the nose to the
grindstone, even when the grindstone was wearing me out. Kept a good attitude.
Got my parents to drive me from Stockton so I could veg on the way home.
Things Done Wrong:
Biggest mileage week in months (taper, what’s that?), didn’t bring enough gels.
***
Mt Evans Ascent — Idaho Springs, CO — June 16, 2007
Trish Hagan reports:
Distance: 14.5 miles
Goal: 3:15
Results: 3:28
General Summary:
What a beautiful day! (The big horn sheep at the end thought so too!) Paved
road course starting at Echo Lake (10K elevation) and ending near the summit
(14K elevation.) The views are breathtaking.
Things Done Right:
Kept up with hydration and calories well during the race. Dressed appropriately
(not overdressed for once!)
Things Done Wrong:
Attended a meeting in Chicago the week before, flying back the night before the
race--not enough sleep after questionable nutrition and training for the week!
Also, didn’t spend enough time running on pavement before the race or at
altitude (because of the snow on the Peak.) Felt great until mile 12 then the
higher altitude got me!
Any Other Stuff:
The PA system at the beginning didn’t work well so I never did hear the
directions. Also, it was hard to get used to running on the left side of the
road and avoiding the motorized vehicles.

Mt Evans Ascent — Idaho Springs C O — June 16, 2007
Darrell Weaver reports:
Distance: 14.5 miles
Goal: 2:45
Results: 2:54
Website: http://www.racingunderground.com
General Summary:
14.5 miles on pavement from Echo Lake (10,000 ft)to the Mt Evans summit parking
lot (14,000+). Except for a flat/slight downhill stretch of about 400-500
meters at Summit Lake (at 9 miles), it’s a steady uphill grind. Weather was
perfect, maybe even a little warm. Not a lot of air up there.
Things Done Right:
Started slow. Tried to hold a steady pace, which got pretty hard to do toward
the end.
Things Done Wrong:
I had no business running this thing. Insufficiently trained. The altitude
toward the top really hammered me.

Lake City 50 — San Juan Summer Solstice — Lake City Colorado — 16-June-2007
Gordon reports:
Distance: 50 Miles
Goal: Finish and not end up in the hospital
Results: Finished and didn’t end up in the hospital
Website: http://www.lakecity50.com/index.htm
General Summary:
Pre Race
This was to be my third consecutive Lake City 50. Up to now I had been extremely
fortunate as far as weather and course conditions were concerned. This year
looked like it was going to be different. Given the late spring conditions with
recent snow fall and course reports forewarning of “larger than usual snow
fields,” and course marshals assuring runners “the course will be wet, snowy,
and slow.” Updates on the web page http://www.lakecity50.com/index.htm gave us
the latest conditions. The weather on race day predicted excellent temperatures
with highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s.
We arrived at the Towne Square Cabins around 4 PM and saw that the Veteto
brothers and Mary-Clare had also arrived at Cabin 8. They had planned to camp,
but were fortunate to acquire Judy Dewitt’s cabin as unfortunately she pulled
due to a hip injury. We strolled over to the Amory to check in and take in the
mandatory pre-race meeting. It was great to see familiar faces, one of the race
directors welcomed me back. It was a good omen, from my race packet I pulled my
bib number 9 — same number as last year! It was reassuring to hear that the snow
pack had continued to melt during the week, so much in fact that course changes
wouldn’t be necessary — although there were several “modifications” in the
Divide section above treeline. Skipping the pre-race meal, Jonathan, Jared and I
met up with Carole and Mary-Clare for an excellent pasta dinner, entertained by
the restaurant owner with stories of Ferraris and Joe Pesci. After depositing
our drop bags for the Carson aid station, it was back to the cabins and an early
night.
Woke before my 4:00 AM alarm, and got ready prior to heading back out over to
the Amory for the final check in. Walked past Scott Jurek — who we heard might
be running. A few minutes before 5:00 all the runners headed over to the
starting line in the early morning darkness. With clear skies and stars, it
looked like it was going to be a perfect day!
Race
Alpine Gulch didn’t disappoint, with the bone-chilling creek crossings that
flowed much faster than I remembered. My feet were like blocks of ice, I didn’t
regain feeling again until well up the trail to the top ridge. After crossing a
snow field I bent down to remove rocks from my shoes, when I looked up startled
by a “runner” coming back up the trail towards me. The runner turned out to be
Scott Jurek who told me he was training to get altitude for the upcoming
Hardrock 100.
One of my biggest concerns was altitude, as snow had prevented anyone getting
much time above treeline. Jonathan and I had hiked up above the Craggs on Pikes
Peak the weekend before, camping out at 11,500’... would it be enough?
I remembered the course description on the web page, “the snowfield ascent just
above the Alpine Aid Station is difficult crossing with hard snow and a steep
grade. Runners may consider carrying something to assist snow crossing and which
can also be used to arrest a slide.” After traversing to the top of the ridge,
we started our descent into Williams Creek. This is where the course changed
from previous years. We came out of the trees at 15.7 miles and into the
Williams Creek campground instead of the trailhead, a revision to alleviate
traffic congestion on Cinnamon Pass Road. It was great coming into the aid
station to cheers and the happy faces of Carole (best support crew ever),
Mary-Clare and Jared. Back out and up the county road and onto the Wager Gulch
jeep road, starting the long haul up to the Carson aid station at treeline. I
caught up to Dana Kingston who looked strong, she had been training hard and was
bound and determined to get to the finish line, we exchanged words of
encouragement as we climbed up and up. Coming into Carson aid I saw a familiar
face, fellow Cruder and local “renown back-packer” John Teisher “J.T.” A bit of
a mix-up getting drop bag 19 instead of 9, made for a few anxious minutes, but
in the end my bag was located, and a much needed change of socks and shoes. J.T.
and I headed out about the same time Dana was coming in.
Next “up,” the Divide along the Colorado Trail. We approached one of the course
modifications, instead of going around the east side of Coney Peak, it was up
and over it to avoid a huge snowfield... oh goody more climbing. As J.T. and I
headed up, off to the south I was concerned to see some rather ominous dark
clouds forming. It was in this section that I ran out of hydration last year, I
was not going to make that mistake twice, and had the excellent support crew at
Carson fill up my camelback with 90 ounces of a 50/50 combination of Cytomax and
water. I had plenty of fluid, but now I was worried that I came away without
something just as important — gear for inclement weather. I made the mistake of
trusting the weather forecast, now as the clouds darkened and approached I would
have given almost anything for the poncho and long-sleeved shirt that were in my
running bag back in Cabin 4 (Crawl Inn). I gave myself shit, after all isn’t
this springtime in the Rockies, and to be prepared for anything? As we made our
way along the Colorado Trail at 13,500’ it started... BOOM! Lightening strikes
all around, to my left and then to the right, glare reflecting back in my
sunglasses with an instantaneous explosion of thunder. I looked around at the
streaks of lightening, wondering if it hurt to get hit? As runners we are warned
to get off the ridge and down as quickly as we can, nothing like a little
thunder and lightening kicking you in the ass to pick up the pace. A runner who
was using hiking poles threw them off the trail away from him. In turned out
the metal poles were humming and starting to vibrate! The wind increased, then
the sleet started, stinging my face. What next? Wait for it ...hail.
Post-holing along through another snow field made for slow going. It wasn’t too
bad as the snow was crusty and we walked across, but then the surface would give
way and you’d end up to your waist in snow, feet in ice water. Just before we
descended on the roped snow slide, J.T. exclaimed that he had made up his mind
for the same weekend next year... the Sailin’ Shoes 5 km! “I would have been
finished hours ago and be drunk by now!” With the lightening streaking all
around, I took off, not to see J.T. again until the finish line.
After which had to be the longest 10 miles, I started to descend off the
Colorado Trail ecstatic to see trees and the yurt complete with snow cat in the
Divide aid station at mile 31. Heading out of the aid station I sank up to my
ankles in a shoe-sucking boggy muck. The muddy sections continued. I was
surprised, as I started down Slumgullion Pass road, that my shoes were picking
up heavy sticky mud, making each Montrail Mesai feel like 10 pounds of dead
weight. Running down through the rocks, I passed Tim Edwards who looked beat up.
“Nothing left in my legs” he said, hang in there man you’re at mile 40! I always
like coming into Slum, not only because it’s crew accessible, but it’s only 10
miles to the finish. Carole was ready for me, quick change, downing Mountain Dew
(nectar of the gods), across the highway, and down the trail climbing over trees
that had fallen a week or two earlier during a horrendous wind storm. Throughout
the course there was a huge number of downed trees, and this would continue all
the way to Vickers. After heading down, it’s up 1,700 to 11,000, before reaching
the final aid station on a high mountain pasture covered in wild flowers. I
picked a purple day lily and tucked it into my old school Lake City 50 visor. I
approached the aid station, when asked what I needed, I replied “beer.” The
wonderful lady — who I found out was volunteering at the race for the first time
- bent down and produced a beer. I laughed and said I had a ‘few” cold ones
waiting for me 5 miles down the trail, and better not.
Down onto single track and the Waterdog Trail, a few little uphills here but for
the most part it’s all downhill seeing Lake City through the trees. More rocks,
more mud and fallen trees, until the skree sections with about 2 miles left to
go. I felt much stronger here than in previous years, passing 5 or 6 runners.
Entering town, you pick up the buzz from the park and the finish line. The
earlier storms had moved out, leaving clear skies again, and a gorgeous Colorado
evening! Turning onto Silver Street, I saw a familiar figure jumping up and
down, arms waving, it was Carole urging me to the finish. Clapping, cheers,
tears, hugs and high fives, crossing the finish line with quick circle around
the tree. I finished 15:00, 20+ minutes off my previous times, but given the
conditions I was more than happy. I presented Carole with the wild flower I had
picked for all she had done.
Post Race
JT collapsed with a beer in hand across the finish line, Dana showing incredible
guts and determination crossed the finish line after the cutoff, but ran an
incredible race. Once again, the whole CRUD team was there cheering until the
last runners came in.
Things Done Right:
Stayed hydrated and fueled.
S-Caps timed to take one every hour on the hour.
Met Scott Jurek.
Opened my heart.
Things Done Wrong:
Made a rookie mistake by not preparing for stuff above tree line.

San Juan Solstice 50 Mile Run — Lake City, CO — June 16, 2007
Timothy Edwards reports:
Distance: 50 miles
Goal: 15:57:57
Results: 15:37:31
General Summary:
What a great course for my 1st 50 mile ultra. I loved the scenery and the very
high altitude challenges.
I had a blast until my legs cried out about 2/3 of the way. But with aid station
help at mile 40 and a mental boost I was able to run the last ten miles with
gusto to cross the finish line 22 minutes before the cutoff.
Things Done Right:
Kept eating and drinking. Brought a rain jacket along, which saved my tail along
the Continental Divide.
Things Done Wrong:
Didn’t push hard enough during the rain-snow-lightning storm.
Any Other Stuff:
The many creek crossings of ice cold, rushing water was rather fun!, but and the
countless snowfields got a little old after hours on end. Dry shoes helped
mentally but soon there after — more water and deep mud to forge through.
Spectacular scenery with 5 fourteener mountains and many thirteeners in
immediate view.

San Juan Solstice — Lake City, CO — June 16, 2007
Tom Kelecy reports:
Distance: 50 miles
Goal: Finish with my wonderful wife, Laura
Results: 14:18:23 / Finished with Laura, still my wife (and still wonderful)
after 50 miles
Website: http://www.lakecity50.com/
General Summary:
Course: Fifty miles of jeep road and single track, numerous stream crossings
early on, 3 significant climbs, two up to and over 13,000’ and the last one a
1,600’ or so climb in the last 10 miles of the race. Significant snow field
crossings above tree line, and significant mud field crossings thanks to snow
melt and thunderstorms that moved in that afternoon.
Weather: Sunny early in the day, then the thunderstorms moved in mid to late
afternoon. They cleared out for a nice sunny finish at the end.
Aid: 6 aid stations, all pretty decently stocked with the usual fare, and great
volunteers. Three of the 6 stations were designated for drop bags, and the
volunteers had them ready for us as we entered each aid station.
Race: The primary goal was to run with Laura and finish in pretty decent shape.
We had looked at a sub 14 hour finish, and had the splits worked out for all the
aid stations and the top of the 3 significant climbs, but never referred to
those during the race. When I checked our splits after finished, we were right
on track up to the last downhill segment. Lot’s of rocky, steep descents (not
Laura’s forte). The stream crossings were a hoot, thought there were a couple
where the current was a little brisk. The snow field crossings ended up not
being as bad as we had originally anticipated, thanks to the warmer weather the
week before. The highlight probably came right after the second climb when we
got to slide down a steep snowfield decent on a rope. The rope, however, only
extended to about half the distance of the decent, and so we had to slide down
the remainder of the decent in whatever way was the most convenient (my butt).
The lowlight came shortly after when thunderstorms moved in while we were still
traversing the continental divide portion of the trail. We were fortunate in
our timing, in that we could see several of these storms developing around us,
some on the course ahead, and some on the course that we had just passed behind
us, but never had one right overhead. The final couple of miles back into town
were steep and tedious descents on rocky trail surfaces. Once in to town
though, we mustered enough energy to run the remaining half mile or so in to the
finish, where Laura and I crossed the finish line holding hands. OK, so maybe
there was one more highlight (WARNING: the following may result in sudden
illness, nausea and vomiting): Laura and I crossed the finish line holding
hands (What were we supposed to do? Cross the finish line holding our feet?)
Everyone at the finish line made a big deal about it being our wedding
anniversary. We had worn orange ribbons on our wrists to commemorate the now
legendary wedding proposal I made after crossing the finish line at Leadville
nearly seven years ago. No one proposed to anyone after we crossed the finish
line at Lake City, not that we weren’t delirious.
Things Done Right:
Pre-race: Trained as well as possible, considering the local trail conditions.
We started in January, and got some longer runs under our belt, in spite of the
persistent snow. Ran a couple of shorter trail races (26.2 mi, 50K and 25 mi)
as tune ups, and helped to learn better pacing control. Got in some altitude
training (close to 13,000’) within the last few weeks before the race. Did a
pretty good job of tapering. Learned to eat and drink on the go, including
learning what works and what doesn’t. Prepared for just about anything with
our drop bags.
Race: Did a good job pacing ourselves early on, and stayed pretty consistent
throughout the race. Drank regularly from my CamelBak and took electrolyte
tablets every hour or two.
Things Done Wrong:
Almost made a crucial mistake, like several others I talked to, I believed the
weather forecast that it would be sunny and dry all day. I had rain gear at the
Carson aid station just in case, but did not take it with me on the second climb
above 13K and traverse of the Continental Divide. When the storms moved in, all
I had was my Tyvek jacket. Had we really gotten dumped on with precipitation, I
might have been in trouble. Got lucky this time.
Any Other Stuff:
A lot of good raffle prizes after the awards ceremony the next day. Nice touch,
also providing breakfast. Again, can’t say enough about the great organization
of the race and great volunteers. Post race recovery is going well, thanks to
our training and conservative race strategy.

Mt. Evans Ascent — Mt. Evans — 06/16/2007
Lloyd Takeshita reports:
Distance: 14.5 miles (14,264ft.)
Goal: Finish within cutoff
Results: Finished with minutes to spare
General Summary:
First race over 13,000ft. since leg injury last summer resulted in cancelling
rest of years runs and off for almost 6 months. Goal was to see how far I’ve
come.
Things Done Right:
Wish I could think of something
Things Done Wrong:
Developed leg cramps 9 miles into run. Was a real bummer but was able to keep
from totally going zonk. Considering I was hydrating and taking gel.

Bighorn 50 miler — Dayton Wyoming — June 16, 2007
John Cassidy reports:
Distance: 52 Miles
Goal: Finish
Results: 34 Miles in 10:10 (cutoff was 10:00)
Website: http://www.bighorntrailrun.com/
General Summary:
8 hour drive to Dayton WY. It’s 9 miles south of Montana. Course ranges from
9100 to 4200 feet. Meadows, snow, trees, 1,000,000,000 flowers, moose, elk,
deer, snakes, rabbits, bugs, streams, creeks, rivers, marshes, trails, roads,
horses, aid stations. All can be seen within 3 feet of the trail. I have no clue
what’s beyond the 3 feet left and right of the trail because the 3,145,584,997
rocks that are on the trail required very close attention. Lots of stumbles,
only one trip.
Four races in one weekend, 100M, 50M, 50K, 30K all finish in Dayton at 9:00 PM
(they stagger the starts by location and time) Only the 100M is an out-and-back.
Things Done Right:
When registering — get the bus ticket. It’s a pain to go get your car 80 road
miles away (that is if you have a second car to get to the first). If you are a
50K or 30K racer it’s 50 road miles to the start.
Things Done Wrong:
LCD. Lowest common denominator. Ran with a friend, slowed when he suffered.
Likewise, he slowed when I suffered. Its 50 miles at some point everyone suffers
and slows. We both gave at least 10 minutes waiting the other. We both got
2nd winds (but at different times) Guess what, we were 10 minutes late at the
second cutoff.
GPS locked-up at 3:17 into the race. I had no idea of time remaining to next
cutoff.
Any Other Stuff:
Very wet, rocky, muddy course. They call in wild & scenic and it is. From the
knees down you will be covered in mud. Drop bag should have sock and shoe change
available.
You must check in on Friday and watch a movie about the rules. Miss the movie
guarantees you will miss the start, race, finishing, everything.
