Hardest marathon I have ever run (walked mostly). I was DFL to the top after beating cutoffs at Barr Camp and A-Frame. Thanks to the encouragement of all the folks at top I made the cutoff by 25 seconds and shortly realized I would have to hustle on the downhill to make 10 hour time limit. Small hail and rain attacked with a drop in temp to around 45 degrees at mile 11-12, but fortunately did not worsen. As I descended I calculated and recalculated my finish possibilities. At mile 9 my predicted finish was going to be 10:22 and I knew I had to run the rest of the way. Pressing with 9-10 minute miles I passed a dozen people to just barely make it and conquer Pikes Peak. A 3:24 descent. Harry Otto of the North Texas Striders went along for the challenge and finished in 7:52:33 |

DOUBLE. We really appreciated the efforts the race directors went to for this event. Early route was hilly and the new bike lane was a welcome feature to running on the road with vehicles. Mile 12 wind in our face changed to wind at our back as we turned West. I stood up straighter and held my elbows out to catch the wind and flew. The muddy gravel road was fun, but challenging. Rejoining the highway on the West side of the lake exposed us to highway traffic, particularly big truck/trailers going fast. Running with Joe, Steve, Jackson Hole, Dad and the twins, and the life guard girls made this event fun. Chicked at 25.8 again! |
