53 Pikes Peak Marathon 08/22/10 Manitou Springs CO 9:07:00 Marathon         One hard marathon, it does not help having tendon problems in foot. That air get thin above 12,000 ft. Super aid stations and Search and Rescue People. 1 1/2 hours slower than I wanted but what a great group of people I ran with or should I say slogged with. If God allows I want to try it agin next year.
52 Newport Marathon 06/05/10 Newport OR 4:00:29 Marathon       4 Was still fighting a chest cold, but was still able to BQ, by 30 seconds. It got a little hot for Newport. Love this race, lots of Maniacs.
51 River City Marathon 04/18/10 Sacramento CA 4:04:20 Marathon   84   3 Fun marathon till I did a face plant at 12.5 miles. Stop at aid station at 13, EMT cleaned me up, cut chin, knee and hand. Very good race, got to hot for me about 76 degrees. Did my 50 run then 50 speed walk was able to keep close to 10 minute pace last 6 miles, because of heat.
50 Way Too Cool 03/13/10 Cool CA 6:51 50 km         It was a mudder of a day! Almost lost shoe over 10 times, stuck in mud. Perfect weather. Those two hills at 21 and 28 were monsters. Heel spud did not start hurting till mile 22 just had to suffer last 9 miles. Great race!
49 California International Marathon 12/06/09 Sacramento CA 4:16:14 Marathon         Very cold and windy day. Ran good for 16 miles till I pulled calf muscle, limped along for next ten. Last mile quarter 22 minutes, lots of pain. This race is getting to big. Only good thing was In and Out afterwards. I think I am done with CIM.
48 Folsom Point Trail Run 11/14/09 Folsom CA 5:45 50 km       1 Perfect weather, never got over 60. Beautiful course around part of Folsom Lake. Aid stations had everything you could think of. I wore new trail shoes my poor feet. They did save my big toes thank for hard toe guard. Felt good till 28 mile when IT Bank started acting up. But had fun, will do again.
47 Helen Klein Ultra Classic 10/31/09 Folsom CA 5:35:39 50 km       1 Perfect day to run long! Course was a little more challenging than I thought. Road construction caused us to run 1.2 mile extra. I crossed 50k at 5:20. Great turkey dinner after! Only problem most on bike trail, and bikers do not like runners on there bike trail.
46 Bizz Johnson Trail Marathon 10/11/09 Susanville CA 4:24 Marathon         I forgot you have to train to run 26 miles. My longest run over last 8 weeks was 13 miles running. I paid the price at mile 19, my body said no more miles. Thanks Cindy Wetzel, used the 50 run 50 walk for rest of marathon and finished.
45 Hotter than Hell 6 & 12 Hours 08/15/09 Cameron Park CA 4:59:38 28.75 mi         First marathon or beyond since mini stroke 11 weeks ago. Got hot mid to high 80' felt good but have done little mileage in last 3 months. I knew my limitations and stoped at 5 hours.
44 12 Hours at Cool Night Run 08/01/09 Cool CA   50 km         Only ran for 4 hours night running for this old guy is not fun. Ran around 19 miles got lost twice. Did get to see one my favorite maniacs Jeanette Q and meet LT and Yolanda. I need better eyes and better lighting the cheap stuff does not work well on trails. Good learning experience.
43 Jenkinson Lake Trail Run 05/09/09 Pollack Pines CA 5:09 Marathon       1 One tough marathon, almost 6000 feet of climb. Got a little warm mid 70's. Well done race. Winning time was around 3:32. Lots of people training for Western States 100.
42 River City Marathon 04/19/09 Sacramento CA 4:09:34 Marathon 101     2 Would have been great marathon except for heat. Hit mid to high eighties. I was washed up at 18 , had to walk jog last 8 miles. Enjoyed meeting up with Jeanette Quintana and David Hammes. Also got to see barefoot Todd.
41 Pony Express 50k 02/28/09 Cameron Park CA 5:13:48 50 km   6   1 25 laps around a small lake. Made big mistake pushed it early and paid dearly at end. IT Band problems after 20 miles.
40 Melbourne Beach Marathon 02/08/09 Melbourne FL 4:02:46 Marathon   86   2 Still getting over injury from Redding Marathon, pulled calf. Ran a smart race walked a minute every mile till 23. Every time tried to speed up my calf let me know who is boss, slow down. If I lived close to Melbourne I would run the race next year. Good job for first time marathon. Flat course, got to see a lot of water. Weather was good for Florida got up close to 70.
39 Redding Marathon 01/18/09 Redding CA 3:58:03 Marathon   61   2 This marathon keeps getting better, new course, harder but well worth the extra work. Almost all on trails 1/2 dirt 1/2 bike trail. Got a little warm at end close to 70. SWEAT Running club does a great job. Sean Meissner kicked butt winning the whole thing even beating relay teams.
38 California International Marathon 12/07/08 Sacramento CA 3:42:54 Marathon       14 Best weather,I have had in any marathon so far, never got above 50 degrees. I ran a negitive split by three minutes, felt great all the way except for five bathroom stops, cold weather and over hydrated makes me pee. Only bad thing about this race is food at end sucks.
37 Run The River Marathon 11/15/08 Sacramento CA 3:56:10 Marathon       1 Not bad for a new marathon, needs a little work. Great course. I do not run well when temp get above 70 degrees it hit close to 75. I died about mile 18. I will run it next year. BQ
36 Bizz Johnson Trail Marathon 10/12/08 Susanville CA 4:18:59 Marathon       7 What a great trail run. Training run for first 50 miler, ran 5 minutes walked for 1 minute all the way though race.
