Winter Trail Run
Series 12K Results - January 27, 2007
G'Day.
Well here we go again, it was really magic to be back in Blue Jay with all
those smiling faces. Thanks for the welcome back, from the old farts to
all the new runners to Blue Jay. We were lucky the weather was nice,
although the usual complainers were back! Marking the course the day
before reminded me how tough it is, especially if you don't go out slow
the first few miles! Poor Linda Kassmen found out the hard way, that
staying upright is good, her scares will tell the story, and she even
refused medical help from yours truly.
As for the race itself, 57
runners listened intently to all the instructions at the starting line,
sorry to say 3 people missed because they came late... no worries they
made it in the results. I had to go out onto the course to redirect the
route and was returning when I heard footsteps pounding somewhere in the
forest. I was just in time to direct Eric Frome onto the final turn. I
remember running that fast!!!
Before I
made it back to the finish line about 5 runners had finished. Lucky for me
my good mates were there to greet Eric crossing the line, under one hour I
might add. Amazing! The famous local Rob McNair was real happy to finish
only 7 minutes back to take second overall. Being twice Eric's age was his
excuse. Kyle Huang took third just seconds in front of Brian McDermott.
Brian's pop Bill came in sixth overall, not bad for a 55 year old, good
training for his Catalina Marathon.
Lovely
Michelle Barton just has it all, speed, endurance and hair! Very happy to
win, but was only 30 seconds in front of Ann Hall. 42-year-old Sherry
Kilersby was 3rd and smiling. Congrats to all the award
winners, including 10-year-old Max Stein and the oldest bloke out there on
the course, Mr. Malewicki. I will increase the award as we get more
runners and it helps me when you enter early, thanks to all who entered
all the 4 races. Michelle and her dad did good work with helping attract
runners and everyone enjoyed the detailed web site. All this tech stuff is
beyond me! My good mate Bill Ramsey did well with our friendly raffle.
Hope you enjoyed the spoils thanks to our local sponsors: Crank Sports and
Fleet Feet Sports in Laguna Niguel. Those runners who had to leave early
missed out!
Must
thank Bill and Sandy Johnson for helping at the start and then going out
onto the course to remove all my ribbons. I did notice Rob got an extra
loop in, too old to know any better! I am really happy to be back in the
Cleveland National Forest, lets hope we get more street runners, they just
don't know what they are missing, right! See you on February 10th,
bring the smiles and stay healthy, I do try to make each race special.
Don't forget to tell a friend.
Love BAZ |

GPS record of the elevation changes. The Garmin sums all those
ups and downs. Tells us we climbed a TOTAL of 1/2 mile (2,604
feet)! The Garmin measured a distance of 8.15 miles, whereas 12K
= 7.456 miles (we ran an extra 9% = 0.7 mile). |

Race Google Earth Flyby Tour
Double click on this link and wait for Google Earth to
zoom in from orbit to the view that shows the red outline of the
entire 12K course. Once it stabilizes, click on PLAY TOUR button
or select PLAY TOUR from the drop down VIEW menu. That
starts the animated flyover of the entire course. Awesome! |
