Report from Carlos. Hey Donald, nice to see you out there today. All the races today were very exciting , what a great bunch of guys and gals out there being energetic! As for the winners, lots of intrigue and surprises at the beginning with most of the favorites dropping, very weird, it made the Canadian National 100K championship a real hum dinger, very close finishes (in Ultra terms). You, Donald and Rob MacKay had a good run today, (isn't he a good pace pusher, he helped me a great deal at Chuckanut the other day, thanks man). Rob Fontaine (what a blast) beat me by more than an hour! (3:33:12 for 50K) 20 volunteers turned out today, working shifts on the food, timing and security.Many of them not only gave out the drinks at buffet central, but also came out on the course and ran in their familys or friends. It was hilarious, just before the finish of my 5th and final lap Louise, Richard and I were given a standing "O" from a troupe of Girl Scouts as they marched by on the trail. I was happy with 4:42:00. Report from Donald Peterson. I really enjoyed the race today and would like to send a huge thank-you to the organizers and volunteers for a great event!!! It was my first Ultra and a definate learning experience. I am looking forward to running another - after I recover ; ) You can find my short race report here: http://trainharder.com/weblog/jarhead_weblog.php Results and Official report from R.D.(sorry about my lack of computer savy.
