Saddleback Trail Marathon
Report Nov 8,
2008
G’Day ladies and gentlemen.
Did we all enjoy our run in
the Cleveland National Forest over the weekend? After my wine tasting in
my motor home the night before I managed to work out what I was doing in
the woods, miles from home. Hey, wine is good for you!
Besides the noisy helicopter
overhead during the awards I think the day was Magic, how about our
Southern Cal weather in November! It was 32 degrees in the UK. The 85
starters were full of energy at the start line, one hopes me mate Bruce
Carr received some of it laying in his hospital bed. Our many volunteers
did good, looking after some weary runners at the back of the pack. I
must thank George and Leigh for following the last three ladies home and
collecting ribbons. By the way we had the most magic sun set last night
as I was leaving Blue Jay about 5:30, nice finish to a perfect day. We
are bloody lucky to say the least.
It was good to see my young
ole mate Ben Hian at the start line of a trail race, he and a few other
speedies took the first hill at warp speed… Local runner Steve Lind really
pushed the pace, but a couple of San Diegan rats took over around Bear
Springs with Ben very happy to following Tracy Moore across the finish
line. 54 year old champ Rob McNair was not far behind to finish 4th.
Big Mike Morey did good… finishing first in the over 60 division. Me mate
Doug did good too at 69 yoa. Lovely local champ Michelle Barton had her
usual fast day coming in 9 overall, beating 49 year- old Judy Maguire by
under 12 minutes, go Judy! 3rd place in the women’s division
Cecilia Meech was all smiles crossing the line with her hubby Eric.
Loraine Gersitz ran 4:42 and was 23rd overall, you little
beauty at 54 yoa. All the 29 women finishers looked lovely, even sweaty,
some I know called me terrible names going up some of the tough climbs.
The award winners were happy and gave magic hugs. I think the raffle
winners did OK too. Hope most of you got something. Thank Fleet Feet
Sports and me E-gel mate Mike.
I really want everyone to
finish and my mate Adam should get an award for finishing when nearly down
and out on the course, he found some super strength from some place to
finish… his dad will be proud. As you know my dead line is 7 hours, but be
assured I get a kick out of seeing everyone finish even when I should be
home and drinking my wine! My new EMT guys did a good job, no bodies to
recover was somewhat of a bummer to them, good for us! My mates M&M did
good all day at the start and finish line, wouldn’t be the same without
all the good help I get.
Don’t forget my Winter Trail Run Series
starts January 10, go to my web site for details,
www.bigbaztrailraces or email me at
bazhawley@sti.net
The races attract lots of new runners to the trails, one hopes they do
good and can move up in distance and challenge the next Saddleback
Marathon in November 09. Don’t forget we are limited to 150 runners for
any of the events in CNF, so get your entries in soon. By public demand
my San Juan Trail 50K is back on March 14th and that is
good training for the Old Goats 50, two weeks later, I will be there
helping at the Candy Store aid station. Maybe call in for some red stuff.
Until that time I wish you all a magic festive season, do everything in
moderation, drinking red and driving is not good, maybe run more trails,
slow of course.
Much Love BAZ XXX

Trying something new
starting with this year's Saddleback Marathon.
A
SLIDE SHOW
version of the photos complete with music...
Click on
your choice of resolution:
LoRes or
HiRes
After the new screen appears, click on the picture to get the slide show started.
NOTES:
#1 - With the HiRes version you will have to first
download & install the free
Photodex
PRESENTER
viewing software.
Click on:
viewer
to go
right to the Photodex download page. After
downloading it, come back and click on the underlined word
HiRes above.
#2 - The LoRes version uses
Flash,
which just about everyone already has installed on their
computer. If not, it too is a free download which will
be linked by the pop-up.
#3 - Your anti-virus may also pop-up and ask you to accept
or reject those downloads. Whew! If this is too
much hassles for my fellow oldsters you can see the pictures
below (but without the special affects and music).
