38 Operation Jack 7 Hour 09/05/10 Beaverton OR 4:23:52 50 km         33 loops around Summer Lake Park, wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. Ran 50k then called it good.
37 PCT Bunker to Bonneville 09/04/10 North Bonneville WA 6:20:43 50 km         Tough course, great weather. Ran the first 20 with Pete. Next year I'm headed to the pub after with everyone! Around 7,000 ft gain.
36 Redmond Watershed Preserve Summer 08/28/10 Redmond WA 5:12:52 Marathon         Ran this with Carla on our way to volunteer at Cascade Crest.
35 Where's Waldo 08/21/10 Willamette Pass OR 13:54:15 100 km         Maiden Peak is no joke, took me over an hour to make it 3 miles. Had enough legs to run about 8:30 pace the last 7.5. Perfect weather and a very well organized race! Should be able to push a little more next time now that I know the course a little.
34 Crater Lake Rim Run 08/14/10 Crater Lake OR 3:47:15 Marathon         Very tough course for a road marathon. Crater Lake lives up to the hype! Also good for 9th overall.
33 First Call Summer 08/07/10 Bothell WA 5:03:00 50 km         Was on pace for a 4:17 50k finish. Carla ran the marathon so I ran with her when I caught up to her around mile 20.
32 Wildwood Trail Run 08/01/10 Portland OR 3:38:25 Marathon         Took it easy at first then realized I felt pretty good after yesterdays birthday drinking. Good enough for 3rd place! Perfect weather.
31 Mt Hood PCT 07/24/10 Clackamas Lake OR 10:40:57 50 mi         Ran with the other Josh for his first 50 miler... I love the Pacific Crest Trail!
30 Siskiyou Out Back 07/10/10 Ashland OR 6:05:56 50 km         Took it nice and easy... very hot! May be the best organized and best value race I have done yet... gonna plan on doing this one every year!
29 Foot Traffic Flat 07/04/10 Sauvie Island OR 4:16:11 Marathon         Ran with Carla... what a great way to start off the holiday!
28 Rock N Roll Seattle 06/26/10 Seattle WA 3:25:46 Marathon         Fun weekend with friends... still like November's Seattle course better, but what a great day... note to self... don't have Burgerville including a milkshake followed by about 64 ounces of beer the night before a race again!
27 Sun Mountain 06/20/10 Winthrop WA 9:53:38 50 mi         A lot of rain and clouds for "Sun" Mountain! Winthrop is a great little town, gonna stay for an extra couple days next time and only do the 50k so I can check out some of the cool town bars!
26 North Olympic Discovery 06/06/10 Port Angeles WA 3:59:10 Marathon         Paced the 4:00 group. It was very hard to not be able to slow down with people as they started to fall behind :(. But congrads to Maniac Roger who BQ'd! (and only one of two that kept up). I didn't have much to do with it other than giving him something to chase instead of looking at a watch, but his BQ made the pacing duty feel very rewarding. Very well ran marathon but not nearly as scenic as I thought it would be.
25 Green River 06/05/10 Seattle WA 4:00:05 Marathon         Used this race to practice running slower for my pacing duty at the next days marathon. Got a ridiculous sunburn and it was only high 60's. A little too flat for a training run and my taste, but very well ran for a FREE race!
24 Forest Park Trail Run 05/30/10 Portland OR 5:22:07 50 km         Gotta love a nice trail run just minutes from my house!
23 Capitol City Marathon 05/16/10 Olympia WA 3:27:47 Marathon         First Double - Race #2 - I had heard somewhere that this was a poorly run marathon??? Somebody was smoking something because this was a great race. Was feeling great today so I picked it up around halfway point for about a 7 minute negative split!
22 Windermere Marathon 05/15/10 Spokane WA 3:42:26 Marathon         First Double - Race #1 - The lead wheelchair took a wrong turn in the first mile which shortened the course .8 miles. At the finish they sent us out to do a quick out an back to make up the difference. What a joke... I feel so bad for the first timers and people that would have BQ'd as surely Boston won't accept these now that the course isn't certified. Held back for the double and felt great, warm at finish, even got a little sunburned. Official time listed is 3:36:42 because they didn't include the .8 as some people didn't do it.
21 McDonald Forest 05/08/10 Corvallis OR 6:22:37 50 km         Toughest 50k I've done so far, up and down, up and down...
20 Tacoma City 05/02/10 Tacoma WA 4:29:20 Marathon         Paced Carla for her 1st marathon! She was one of very few people to have a negative split... ran her 26th mile in 8:46, almost 2 minutes faster than her first! She laid everything on the table to hit her "best case" goal of 4:30 and made it. Very proud of her!
19 Capitol Peak 04/25/10 Olympia WA 10:43:37 50 mi         First 50 miler... had no idea how to pace myself so I went out very slow at the back of the pack... tough course but I finished strong and felt great after!
18 Spokane River Run 04/18/10 Spokane WA 5:24:41 50 km         Beautiful course on a beautiful day... took tons of pictures... took it easy and felt like I ran only a couple miles afterwards. Temp in the low 70's by race end.
17 Peterson Ridge Rumble 04/11/10 Sisters OR 6:34:40 60 km         Perfect weather! Ran with buddy Josh and had a great time. Paced myself well and probably more importantly ate and hydrated well and felt great after the run. Great food provided by the race after too!
16 Soaring Eagle Trail Run 04/04/10 Sammamish WA 6:22:03 50 km         Wow, I had no business running this after pushing myself last week. Lacked energy from the start. Weather was just to nice too pass up a long run though. Course was so so, enjoyed the single track but hated the small sections of muddy fire road.
15 Yakima River Canyon 03/27/10 Yakima WA 3:17:16 Marathon         Only needed to run 7:30 miles the last 4 miles to BQ... then I hit the hill at mile 24 and legs were done from the downhill:(... realized I was at best going to be a minute short of a BQ so I shut er down. Only planned on a 3:30 so it was a good day and now I know BQ is just a matter of time!
14 Centennial Trail Run 03/13/10 Spokane WA 6:03:29 37 mi         Took a wrong turn AGAIN!, but nly about a mile and a half extra. Course was nice overall and the weather was perfect, first 10 miles somewhat hilly then mostly flat. Not a fan of running that long on asphalt.
13 Ghost of Whidbey 02/27/10 Whidbey Island WA 3:44:55 Marathon         Took first place! (don't ask how many others ran). Why don't more people run this??? Well organized and scenic! Lots of hills for a road marathon.
12 Hagg Lake Mud Run 02/20/10 Forest Grove OR 5:30:46 50 km         Ran with my buddy Pete the first 24 miles... amazing weather and scenery
11 Fishline Trail Run 02/14/10 Poulsbo WA 5:55:30 50 km         Got lost and ran a couple extra miles :( Great weather though!
10 West Seattle Fat Ass 02/07/10 Seattle WA 4:47:30 50 km         Not a bad time considering the amount of beer I drank the night before... great way to start off Super Bowl Sunday!
9 Mad Ass 50k 01/30/10 Madras OR 5:18:14 50 km         Was amongst some seriously fast dudes... met some great people.
8 Pigtails Run 01/23/10 Renton WA 5:17:12 50 km         Biggest hill I have ever seen at about mile 30.5! Very low key but fun!
7 Capitol Peaks Mega Fat Ass 01/16/10 Olympia WA 6:16:49 30 mi         Tougher course than expected... a preview of my anticipated 50 miler in April.
6 Bridle Trails Winter Trail Running Festival 01/09/10 Kirkland WA 5:36:59 50 km         This was so much cooler than I expected... great organization and 3pm start time!
5 Pigtails Flat Ass 12/19/09 Ravensdale WA 4:44:26 50 km         Easy flat course for my first 50k
4 Seattle Marathon 11/29/09 Seattle WA 4:16:37 Marathon         Loved this course and the weather was perfect! Started with a sprained ankle, ended with pain in my calf... happy to finish. If they gave refunds I wouldn't have ran but glad I did.
3 New York City Marathon 11/01/09 New York NY 3:47:18 Marathon         I think I've got a 3:30 marathon in me... took a lot of pics and enjoyed the race.
2 Portland Marathon 10/04/09 Portland OR 3:49:58 Marathon         Ran with my "homie" Pete and had a great time... course still sucks though.
1 Portland Marathon 10/01/06 Portland OR 4:28:28 Marathon         Ouch
