Hi ICers!

Incline Club weekend run is on *Saturday* this week because the Pikes Peak Highway is closed on Sunday for the car race. So come out on Saturday, and don’t plan on driving/running up high on Sunday. See ‘Next Run’ for suggested workouts! :)

NEXT RUN:
***********************************************

Thursday, July 17, 5:45pm — Hydro Street
Warm up from Memorial Park in time to get to Hydro Street. Do a 30 minute tempo run up the Barr Trail. Run easy back down the Barr Trail do 8 Hydro Street hill repeats.

Saturday, July 19, 7:30AM — Memorial Park
Choose your poison:
1) Run to the summit from the bottom
2) Take COG to Mt View and run to Summit via Barr Camp
3) Elk Park to summit via Barr Camp
4) 3-2-1 from summit

Or Sunday run on the lower Barr Trail which is pretty much the only Pikes Peak option because of the car race.

Summer Round-up 12k — Bear Creek — July 6, 2008

Tracey Anderson reports:
Distance: 12K
Goal: Stay ahead of Glen
Results: Stayed ahead of Glen
Website: http://www.summerroundup.com/

General Summary:
I think I ran it pretty well, though I really struggled the last mile. The cloud cover was a blessing!

Things Done Right:
Paced myself on the hills pretty well, (that long one up to the turnaround gave me Ruxton flashbacks). Cut loose on the down-hills and powered the flats.

Things Done Wrong:
I think maybe more strength training would help.

BTMR — Manitou — July 13, 2008

Michael Everson reports:
Distance: 12 Miles?
Goal: Get to Barr Camp before winner finishes race
Results: I did it!!
Website: http://runpikespeak.com

General Summary:
Cool morning with temps in 50s. Seemed like a good day to run. It warmed up quickly, and made for a bit of a hot finish.

Things Done Right:
Ate right, slept well, and stayed well hydrated. Good potty break 30 minutes before start(|). I didn’t fall.

Things Done Wrong:
Ran too slow. Maybe took off too quickly out of the start, but could not get heart rate below 150 no matter what I tried. Got to Barr about 00:1:30 slower than last year and finished over 2 minutes slower overall. Both calves cramped up at the start of Hydro just before finishing, of course where all the people could see. Then hobbled my way up the street and to the finish. Why can’t cramps just wait one more minute??

Any Other Stuff:
This is a fun race. I like the high school kids at aid stations. The Pizza was good, and so was the massage. I hope to do better next year.

BTMR 2008 — Barr Trail — Manitou Springs Colorado — July 13, 2008

GORDON BARNETT reports:
Distance: 12 Miles
Goal: Good training run and beat my last BTMR 2006
Results: Great training run and beat my 2006 time by almost 10 minutes
Website: http://runpikespeak.com/

General Summary:
Coming off a very successful 50 miler in Lake City on 21-June, this race was a good up and down run which is part of my overall training plan for my Lost Soul 100 Miler in September.

Things Done Right:
Went out slow — then tapered. Enjoyed the day and all the great support from the various high school aid stations, and excellent volunteer support. Enjoyed a steaming hot, delicious cup of Micky’s special coffee prior to start (that could very easily become part of my pre-race routine.) Hopefully helped a young runner by letting him pace off me... nice kid. Shared my beer.

Things Done Wrong:
Not a darn thing.

Any Other Stuff:
That had to the most dusty I’ve ever seen Barr Trail, I don’t think it was that bad when the trail was closed a few years back during the drought/fire scare.

Hardrock — Silverton, CO — July 11-13, 2008

Jon Teisher reports:
Distance: 100.4 miles
Goal: live
Results: 42:55. That’s almost 43 HOURS!
Website: http://www.hardrock100.com

General Summary:
Lovely stroll through the San Juan mountains. Silverton to Telluride to Ouray to Lake City to Silverton. A hill or two hidden along the route.

Things Done Right:
Finished.

Things Done Wrong:
Drinking tequila at Kroger’s Canteen probably wasn’t the smartest thing I’ve ever done.
