WMRC9/28- Bear 100 Re Cap

We are on for an easy 1:03 trail run in the PMP tomorrow morning at 5:16 am. This will be an easy pace as many are heading up to Prescott for Man against Horse this weekend.

Runners of the week are too many so it goes to Blue again. Just kidding.

JJ, Steph (pictured above), Lizzie , Andrew, Jody and Mark H all finished the Bear 100 this past weekend. One highlight includes Lizzie falling in a river twice while freezing at night. Andrew said he almost could have ice skated across b/c it was so cold. They were paced by WMRCer's Momo for Steph and Honey for Lizzie. Not sure of the rest.

Great job to all involved in the very successful weekend up there!

See everyone tomorrow morning.

Summer is over! Get out and run Wednesday morning.

Come join us for an hour run in the trails of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. Meet up 5:16 a.m., Wednesday morning. It's no longer ungodly hot out. It's beautiful! Casual fun pace, nice folks and some beautiful people.

WMRC 9/14

We are on for a nice and relatively easy trail run in the preserve tomorrow morning at 5:16am. We will run up and down and down and up and down for about 5.7 miles in 1:04. This will be fun.

Runner of the week goes to Bill Barthen. He finished the Wasatch 100 miler in 29 hrs this past weekend. This race has an elevation gain of 27,000 ft over the 100 miles and is extremely hard. Well done Bill! This was the final race of the grand slam of 100's for Bill. He finished Western States, Vermont and Wasatch, only dnf'ing in Leadville due to an elevation troll that was hiding in his Camelbak repeatedly beating him over the head, neck and chest with a giant stick of some sort.

See everyone tomorrow morning at 5:16 am- Top lot of SQ PK DR.
