100 Pig Tails Flat Ass 50K 12/20/08 Renton WA 4:28:32 50 km   4     Brrrrr. The temp at the start was in the teens and the high today was 28 degrees. There was a thin layer of snow on the course. It wasn't icy but is was definitely a little slower than usual.
99 Seattle Marathon 11/30/08 Seattle WA 3:19:51 Marathon       18 Perfect weather. I ran on minimal training, having recently taken a hiatus to let an achilles injury get better. This is my slowest time in 15 years, just a few seconds slower than I ran at a tough Bellingham Bay marathon last year. Oh well...
98 White River 07/26/08 Green River WA 9:00:45 50 mi 96 43/ 202 34 10 Ten minutes faster than last year! Really good day for running, perfect weather.
97 Yakima River Canyon Marathon 04/05/08 Ellensburg WA 3:15:51 Marathon       4 Great course and weather.
96 Invest in Youth Fund Run 02/23/08 Lake Stevens WA 3:59 50 km         Six hour run on a 5.15 mile out-and-back course. I stopped at 3:59 with 30.9 miles. Beautiful day for running.
95 Pig Tails' Lake Young 50K 01/26/08 Maple Valley WA 3:59:50 50 km   3 3   I had to sprint to the finish to break 4 hours. The weather was mostly good but some brief, freezing showers hit us late in the race. Thanks, Pig Tails, for putting on another great 50K.
94 Western Washington FA 50K 01/05/08 Issaquah WA 5:46:55 50 km   2 2   2nd to 'Uli'
93 Flat Ass 50K 12/22/07 Renton WA 4:13:24 51 km   5     tough day, slower than last year
92 Dumb Ass 50K 12/15/07 Issaquah WA 7:09 50 km         5 ascents of Tiger; 3 of us leaders took the wrong trail down on the first loop and so weren't ranked in the results. Nevertheless we did 50K (and 12,000 ft of climbing!)
91 iUWR 11/04/07 Kent WA 3:16:15 Marathon   5 4   A great day to run!
90 Bellingham Bay Marathon 10/07/07 Bellingham WA 3:19:47 Marathon   19   1 Slow course and windy day ... won my age group with a 3:19!
89 White River 07/15/07   WA 9:10 50 mi   31     Did it on two weekends of training and finished one place away from an age group award ($).
88 Mt. Si 50 Mile 04/22/07 North Bend WA 6:39 50 mi   2 2   2nd to Jim Kerby. I was hoping to break 6:30 but faded after 35-40 miles.
87 Birch Bay Marathon 02/26/07   WA 3:10:59 Marathon   5     Not a flat course! Very windy at the end.
86 Pig Tails Lake Young 02/03/07 Maple Valley WA 3:57 50 km   3     3rd, behind Alex Swenson and Brandon Sybrowsky.
85 Yours Truly 01/28/07 Carnation WA 4:12:46 50 km         Virtual race: I ran with Jim Kerby, Mark Hartinger, et al. We took a 10 min break at mi 20 to get more food & water.
84 Western Washington FA 50K 01/06/07 Issaquah WA 6:20 50 km   3     Very cold and lots of snow on the trail. A tough day on a challenging course.
83 Flat Ass 50K 12/23/06 Renton WA 4:03:27 51 km   3 3   Negative split by 1 1/2 minutes.
82 Seattle Marathon 11/26/06 Seattle WA 3:05:42 Marathon       10 Snow turned to cold rain once race was underway. It was a tough day.
81 UWR Marathon 11/05/06 Kent WA 3:16 Marathon   1 1 1 The race lacked mile markers in the middle (around mile 16-19), so the posted time is a guess. My running time was 3:11:42, but I stopped the watch while back tracking. No worries, it was a free 26.2 mile run, just for fun.
80 Cle Elum 50K 09/16/06 Cle Elum WA 5:23 50 km   3 3   First 'ultra' since twins were born and since moving to Washington.
79 San Diego Rock and Roll 06/04/06 San Diego CA 3:16:30 Marathon         Disappointing performance, but not unexpected given my training level. First marathon since twins (Nate and Rachel) were born in January.
78 SGM 50 Mile 04/16/05 Sierra Madre CA 12:57 50 mi   1 1 1 A free run put on by Andy Kumeda. Super tough course: Only Larry Ramaekers and I finished, tying for "first".

41 Holcomb Valley 06/08/97 Big Bear Lake CA 4:12 50 km   7     Can't remember the details, but I drew a frowny face in my training log, so it must've been a bad performance.
40 Bishop High Sierra 05/17/97 Bishop CA 8:11 50 mi   5      
39 Sri Chinmoy 50 Mile 03/23/97 Vancouver BC 6:20:36 50 mi   1     A PR at the time. I beat the 2nd pl. runner by more than an hour. The course was 8x10 loops plus an extra bit to make it 50 miles.
38 Smugglers Trail 50 Mile 02/16/97   CA 7:13 50 mi         I think the course was short, perhaps 46 miles.

34 Wasatch Front 100 Mile 09/07/96 Salt Lake City UT 27:08 100 mi   19     Very disappointing. After training very hard for a sub-24, some race day mistakes caused me to fail.
