Connemara Ultra Marathon
Connemara Ultra Marathon (Galway, Ireland)
Ireland's only ultra-distance race, the Connemara Ultra Marathon over
39.3 miles of mountain roads around the spectacular Connemara
wilderness, took place last Sunday the 26th of March. The ultramarathon
was run in conjunction with a full and half-marathon that saw almost
2,000 brave souls take to the roads in wet and windy weather. =20
Pre-race favourite Attila Vozar from Hungary took off at a brisk pace
and passed through the early miles at roughly 6:20 mins/mile. However
the conditions and terrain were to eventually take their toll on the
young Hungarian's efforts and he faded in the later stages to finish in
fourth place. It was a brave effort however from a talented athlete and
hopefully he'll be back to try again. In the final analysis Irishman
Thomas Maguire from County Fermanagh crossed the line in first position.
Thomas won this event last year and ran superbly well to be only two
minutes slower over the course despite considerably worse conditions.=20

PCT 50 Mile Training Run
PCT 50 Mile Training Run April 1
Any So Cal listers or anyone down in San Diego this weekend is
invited to come join us for a training run on the Pacific Crest Trail
in the Cleveland National Forest--about an hour's drive outside of
downtown San Diego.
We'll meet at 7 a.m. on Saturday and head north on the PCT, leaving
from Boulder Oaks campground. We'll do 8 miles out, then retrace our
steps.
For directions or more information about the PCT 50 mile run, to be
held on May 13, visit www.pct50.com This run utilizes part of the
same route as the San Diego 100, so it's a great way to familiarize
yourself with the course if you're thinking of doing the 100 in
October or just a great 50 miles of challenging single track trail.
See you on the trails!

We raised $370 for the Mental Health Association who will put it towards good use for stigma reduction and suicide prevention. It also hopefully raised awareness of anyone who visited the website and hit the links.
We had but 15 participants however; by waiting to order anything until registration closed, we were able to have a nice, cozy, warm up for McNaughton run and a good meal afterwards.
All runners were paid a substantial appearance fee ($1) but all generously contributed it back to help a good cause, although several claimed that it was to maintain their amateur status.
Weather was perfect and i was very lucky as we had bad weather both before and after the race.
The course was a beautiful 5.1-6 mile loop but we'll call it 6 for
everyone's logs and egos as it was slow going. I thought the course was well-marked and the fact that some got lost after correctly negotiating the first one or two loops helps substantiate that ultra runners IQ's drop during long events and some of us were "swimming against the current" to begin with.
Next year I'll do less cutesy swag and I will, after 2 events of hats not coming in, get hats.
I'm no Andy Weinberg but I enjoyed doing the event, didn't lose too much money and will do it again next year and maybe limit it to 20 people.
My next run is the Mississippi to Lake Michigan Run. Am also charged with adding a cross-country run to Whitney's Walk which is a local suicide prevention walk on 7/29/06. I am working on getting Danny Dreyer (Chi Running) to come do a seminar for the cc kids and others who may be
interested.

New CR at Stevens Creek 50km
New CR at Stevens Creek 50K
On a day when a rain-engorged Stevens Creek had to be slowly forded at mid-thigh (previous 20 years were ankle deep at worst), Kensington's Lon Freeman set a new course record by eight minutes with a fine 4:27:25, and Bev Anderson-Abbs became the first repeat winner, edging out Beth Vitalis despite a wrong turn. Adam Ray, Joe Swenson, and Georgia Gibbon rounded out the top three in the Stevens Creek 50K on Saturday.
DNFs took their highest toll in the history of the race, but six runners - Andy Black, Wally Hesseltine, Jim Magill, Dave Wright, Kap'n Kirk Boisseree, and R.D. Steve Patt - became five time finishers in this fifth running of the race. Kirk did have to start the race 24 hours late in order to accomplish that after mismarking his calendar; fortunately he encountered an understanding R.D.
