Los Angeles Marathon 03/17/13 Los Angeles CA 3:55:12 Marathon 2423 2430 2000 312 Gigantic burrito with jalapenos and hot sauce the night before = terrible idea. Spent the half hour in the starting corral wondering if I should risk getting out of the corral to use the porta-potty. Decided against. Then spent the first 2.5 miles wondering if I would have to ""pull over"" and ""do my thing"". 1st bank of porta-potties... felt like I could hold it and it had a wait. 2nd bank of porta-potties... locked! Luckily the 3rd bank of porta-potties didn't have much of a wait, but it cost me 3:22 (no, I didn't time it; going off my Garmin's elapsed time - moving time). Felt great after but was playing catch-up. Managed to catch the 3:45 pace group around mile 8 and hung out with them for a while. Felt a blister creeping up at mile 19 (ended up being a quarter-sized blood blister). Decided to bag the 3:45 and settle for a sub-4. Sprinted the final quarter-mile to try for a sub-3:55 and missed by 00:00:13. Then spent 5 hours walking around California Adventure. Full day at Disneyland tomorrow.
LaSalle Bank Chicago Marathon 10/22/06 Chicago IL 3:42:15 Marathon 9976     1059/ 3488 I'm a Maniac! http://57percentnoconcept.wordpress.com/2006/10/23/4th-marathon-of-october/
Chicago Marathon 10/09/11 Chicago IL 4:50:54 Marathon 4337 21242 13625 2297 Wanted to puke the entire 2nd half

Portland Marathon 10/03/04 Portland OR 3:58:13 Marathon 4123     215/ 426 First marathon and was supposed to be my only marathon. 6 weeks of training.
Portland Marathon 10/01/06 Portland OR 3:55:34 Marathon 2016     228/ 549 http://57percentnoconcept.wordpress.com/2006/10/01/262-mile-training-run-portland-marathon/
Portland Marathon 10/07/07 Portland OR 4:24:29 Marathon 1719 3024/ 7724 1920/ 3529 369/ 620 Worst marathon performance ever. Got so desperate for calories I picked up an unopened GU packet someone dropped on the ground at mile 22.
Eugene Marathon 05/04/08 Eugene OR 3:32:08 Marathon 285 325/ 1744 266/ 967 63/ 155 http://57percentnoconcept.wordpress.com/2008/05/06/eugene-marathon/
Forest Park Trail Run 05/25/08 Portland OR 6:43:33 50 km 5331 55/ 75   11/ 13 First ultra! http://57percentnoconcept.wordpress.com/2008/05/25/forest-park-trail-run/
Sisters Poker Run 10/19/08 Sisters OR 6:56:00 29.5 mi         Didn't complete the entire course. Is it a DNF when there's no official time? http://57percentnoconcept.wordpress.com/2008/10/20/sisters-poker-run-race-report/
Columbia River Power Marathon 10/25/08 Umatilla OR 4:05:13 Marathon 149 15/ 52 13/ 37 5/ 9 Official time seems off; I got 3:58 on my Garmin. http://57percentnoconcept.wordpress.com/2008/10/27/columbia-river-power-marathon-and-tri-cities-marathon-race-report/
Pier Park 6-hour 02/07/09 Portland OR 6:00:00 36 mi 158       Longest distance so far! http://57percentnoconcept.wordpress.com/2009/02/08/pier-park-6-hour-race-report/

Portland Marathon 10/04/09 Portland OR 3:46:41 Marathon 1272 1332/ 8091 1036/ 3825 196/ 635 Best Portland Marathon experience!
Sisters Poker Run 10/17/09 Sisters OR   32 mi         6th place with three 6's. No time recorded because Garmin decided to not work. Didn't get lost until I got into town. How does that happen in a trail run?
Peterson Ridge Rumble 04/11/10 Sisters OR 7:26:03 60 km 23       Ugh. Low electrolytes, stomach issues, runny nose, hiccups make for slow day. At least I didn't come in DFL.
McDonald Forest 50K 05/08/10 Corvallis OR 7:02:40 50 km 43 154/ 229   41/ 46 No GI issues but still slow.

Columbia Gorge Marathon 10/24/10 Hood River OR 4:18:13 Marathon 780 125/ 125 92/ 159 19/ 30 Rain! Wind! Hills! 5th star!
Hagg Lake 50K Trail Run 02/19/11 Forest Grove OR 6:29:32 50 km 37       Mud... a lot of mud
Peterson Ridge Rumble 04/10/11 Sisters OR 8:09:15 40 mi 21 110/ 116     Fantastic weather. Even better company. Longest distance to date.
McDonald Forest 50K 05/14/11 Corvallis OR 7:03:03 50 km 210       Bloody Marys and a wedding!
Newport Marathon 06/04/11 Newport OR 4:33:53 Marathon 35     38/ 48 Hot, sunny day
Mt Hood 50 07/30/11   OR 11:55:15 50 mi 17       First 50-miler! Should have finished sooner but I stayed with a runner who was having some trouble until help arrived.
Gorge Waterfalls 50K 03/25/12 Cascade Locks OR 6:11:42 50 km 45 129/ 211      
Peterson Ridge Rumble 40M 04/15/12 Sisters OR 7:11:31 40 mi 28 110/ 146     Fun day at the Rumble! GI issues as usual. Weird because it wasn't the usual suspects.
Eugene Marathon 04/29/12 Eugene OR 3:46:14 Marathon 1113 794/ 2343 568/ 1279 98/ 205 Missed the JFK A-standard by 1:14. But I still think I can get with my B-standard time. This is good enough for corral C for Chicago for 2013 so I'm ok with that. Didn't race very smart. Made my move too soon at mile 18, running on fumes by mile 23. Didn't think I was going to make my 3:45 goal so eased back at mile 25. Then the 26-mile mark showed up early. Tried to gun it into Hayward Field but didn't think straining a groin muscle 2 weeks before McDonald Forest was a good idea.
McDonald Forest 50K 05/12/12 Corvallis OR 7:03:42 50 km 48 188/ 238     Melted in the heat
Siskiyou Out Back 50K 07/14/12 Ashland OR 6:40:43 50 km          
Mt. Hood 50 07/28/12   OR 10:44:38 50 mi 17 84   20 Got my revenge on the Mt. Hood 50
Columbia Gorge Marathon 10/28/12 Hood River OR 4:25:22 Marathon 10 101 66 24 Fun day. Perfect weather. Leisurely pace.
Silver Falls Marathon 11/03/12 Silverton OR 5:28:29 Marathon         Tough course but beautiful course!
Hagg Lake 50K 02/16/13 Forest Grove OR 5:53:16 50 km 103 109/ 190 95/ 95 19/ 19 Beat my 6:00 goal time by 7 minutes and 2011's time by 36 minutes! Weather was great but had some issues with my R plantar fascia (not enough stretching during the week) and the normal stomach issues. Tried taking antacids before and during but that didn't totally solve the problem. Felt good mentally; didn't have the typical doubts about running these distances today. Confidence was up.
Gorge Waterfalls 50K 03/30/13   OR 6:04:55 50 km 54       Wheels came off with ~7 miles to go. Didn't eat enough during the first half of the race. Cramped up even after taking 4 SCaps throughout the race. Also got light-headed, so with ~4 miles to go I ate my last 2 fig newtons, last Gu, and the rest of my chocolate espresso Pocket Fuel. Pretty good day with the exception of those last ~7 miles.
McDonald Forest 50K 05/11/13 Corvallis OR 6:24:11 50 km 70       Course PR by 4 minutes. Miles 22-29 were hell. Got behind on my nutrition and hydration. Did a lot of walking over those miles. Almost decided a sub-7 was good enough given the last 3 years' results and today's heat. The I realized a sub-6:30 was still within reach and pushed the last couple of miles to get a 6:24. Official time 6:24:11.
TrailFactor 50K 05/27/13 Portland OR 6:16:52 50 km 93       Tough day for me. It didn't help that I didn't run a whole lot after getting sick with a bad cold soon after Mac Forest. The cold and cough took me out for 2 weeks and disrupted sleep. Never felt rested, including the night before this race. Got fatigued early and never recovered. Quads cramped up a little. Forgot the crystallized ginger too. Should have finished at least 30 minutes faster. Garmin got all wonky so manually entered all data.

Defiance 50K 10/16/10 Tacoma WA 5:53:09 50 km 16 45 34 8/ 14 Knew I would have problems with Perpetuem. Should have stuck with HEED
Poulsbo Marathon 10/17/10 Poulsbo WA 4:42:48 Marathon 297 27/ 33     Tough course, especially after a 50K the day before. Lots of hills!

Volcanic 50 09/15/12   WA 10:51:05 50 km 5 37     Oh man. That was the hardest race I've ever run.
Capitol Peak 55K 04/27/13 Olympia WA 6:36:20 55 km 4307       1st male 40-44 age group winner! The Grunt didn't feel as daunting as last time. Felt really good after the penultimate aid station. Most importantly, I never felt like the wheels were coming off. The crystallized ginger paid off. I ate a slice as soon my stomach started feeling unsettled. It almost immediately calmed my stomach down, allowing me to continue taking in calories. Huge confidence boost before Mac Forest. Official time 6:36:20.
Tacoma City Marathon 05/05/13 Tacoma WA 3:55:19 Marathon 109       Great to see a lot of Marathon Maniacs I haven't seen since I've taken up more trail running. Hung out with the 3:45 pace group for the first half (although that was a faster pace than I intended). Then I took a potty break and decided not to try to catch them. Things were fine and was probably on a 3:45-3:50 pace until mile 19 when the course left Pt. Defiance and we ran on exposed road under the sun. Did a bit of walking knowing I'd hit my 4:00 goal. Then Steve Yee, The Prez, catches me while I'm walking with less than a mile to go. So I had to crank it up again. Official result: 3:55:19.
