WMRC 10/3

A very big weekend for the WMRC!!! Jamil Coury won the inaugural Mogollon Monster 106 mile race. 37 started and only 9 finished. He even stopped to change a tire for a couple at mile 30 up on the rim road. Very tough course. Danny, Deron, Rudolph and Marius also finished. WMRC dominated that thing. Super congrats to Jeremy D for putting on this thing. Race directing is hard and especially when you have a job and a 3 month old baby. Unbelievable job JD.

Erin got first place in the 50K division of the Javelina Night runs. This was her first ultra and did amazing. Laura got 2nd and the Coury boys put on an amazing event as always.

James got 6th place and lost 2 jobs at the Bear 100 miler in UT to ID.

See everyone tomorrow for an easy-ish 1:03 trail run. Top lot of SQ PK DR. 5:17am.

WMRC 9/26

We are on for a trail run tomorrow morning at 5:17am. 6ish miles of trail heaven. Bring a light as half the run will be dark. Blue is showing up to teach Ozzie trail etiquette.

James Boner is off to run the Bear 100 this weekend from UT to WY. If he doesn't win he is fired.
Years of hard work are coming true for longtime WMRCer Jeremy D as the Mogollon Monster kicks off this Friday up on the rim. This 106 mile race is surely gonna be a tough one. Marius, Deron, Danny, Honey and some others are taking the plunge and going for it. Sorry if I missed anyone.

Aravaipa Night run is this weekend, still time to sign up Thursday from 4-7pm at iRun or before the run at Pemberton Trail head. 25k, 50km, 75k or 100k. Me and Blue are doing 25k.

See everyone tomorrow morning. Get a good night sleep, I got some new shoes and really feel like breaking them in!

WMRC 8/29/12

We are on for a easy to moderate trail run tomorrow morning at 5:16 am. Park at top lot of SQ PK DR.

Runners of the week:
 Dave "Westy" Westhoff and Chris "Hoss" Harrison ran the beautiful Bulldog 50km 

in Malibu Creek Canyon on Saturday.   A cool foggy morning greeted runners on 
the first loop (25km), giving way to a perfect second loop in the beautiful 
scenic Santa Monica Mountains.   After a strong first loop,  Westy pulled ahead 
on the second loop with an epic climb up Bulldog mountain and then crushed the 
long downhill to snag a 5:29:44 and PR!  Way to go Westy!  Hoss followed up with 
a 5:44:38.  The traditional brews & beach followed the race and capped off a 
great day. 

See you all tomorrow morning, we are going owl hunting again, so dress in camo and  paint your face! Headlamps soon...I know just the place to get them also. Mention WMRC to get your discount at iRun.

WMRC 8/8/12

Tomorrow morning at 5:16 am. Top lot of SQ PK DR.

There will be sweat, heat, blood and dirt. Not necessarily in that order.

Since I am too busy or lazy to look up what people did this last week, you know the rules. Blue dog gets the runner of the week award.

Probably should go to Jay Danek or James Bonnett for their efforts at Speedgoat 50K.  But oh well.

We have a large group going to Mt Ord Sat am. Meet at Fountain Hills Dennys at 4:15am or at bottom lot of Mt Ord at 5am. We will have aid station at the Y with regular ultra food and drink.

See you all in the morning, should be nice weather. Ugh.............

WMRC 7/24

Hi all, so sorry I missed last week as it was a big one for the WMRC family.

Honey, Robert and Lizzie went out to do Hardrock, the hardest race on the planet. 102 miles in the San Juans. Honey and Lizzie ended up dropping at miles 85 and 90 from hypothermia and bad weather keeping them from going on to the next aid. Robert finished his 6th straight HR 100. He is a stud. This race is so brutal! Congrats Robert and well done to Honey and Liz. It takes guts to even think about doing that race, much less go out and give it your all.

We are on for an easy trail run tomorrow morning, 5:16am.  Park at top lot of SQ PK DR.

Mark, Jay and James are off to tackle the hardest 50 K in the country this weekend. Speedgoat 50K in Snowbird UT, will be fun with a super stacked field. All the top Mtn Runners in the world are here.
