Weekend Race Results (8/14-8/20)

Post date: Aug 22, 2017 6:18:48 PM

Fellow Runners,

A missed result from last week: Andrea Kirsch won a PR and her age group at the Tri for Real Olympic-distance triathlon on Sunday, August 13.  This was the third and final triathlon of a summer series, and Andea won her age group for the entire series.

The action began at high elevation in Colorado on Saturday, August 19.  Mark and Joann Helmus assaulted the Pike's Peak Ascent, which is as steep as it sounds.  Meanwhile, Kelly Barber knocked off his third hundred-miler of the summer at the Leadville 100, winning the coveted gold buckle for finishing under 25 hours.

In the Cascade mountains of Oregon, Chris Dalton completed his first 100K at the Waldo Trail Race.

Up in the Sierras, Tara Steinmetz ran the Robison Flat 50K.

Two club members made the journey to Santa Cruz for the first cross country meet of the season: Ben Molin and Jim Flanigan.
