Winter Trail Run
Series 15K Report - January 21, 2012
Good evening from Big Baz…
It is now Saturday night and I just woke up after 3 hours of
unconsciousness, didn’t even have me wine. Oh yes, I was so bloody tired
when I got home from the 15K run my body said Good Night Dick. But I
assure you I had a good time and I want to say thank you to all you poor
souls for coming out and braving the elements. That is what I call
dedication.
We all knew from the weather report it was
going to rain, but it was funny it bloody stopped when I was on my way to
return my old motor home to its cell in Laguna Woods. The WTRS history of
magic winter weather for trail running around Blue Jay came to a halt, but
I never saw a dull face all day. We really seem to be a happy crowd even
when the elements are against us, as they surely were. Yes a few didn’t
turn up, but the ones that entered on race day made up the number
perfectly, thanks guys.
My trusty helpers, namely Bill and Sands
and my Special Forces Team, “Baz’s Bazstards”!!! did a magic job of
making my RD job look easy. Turning up in the rain before 7AM and working
through to wait for the last runner, Dani Babb who arrived back at the
finish line sometime around mid-day. That is dedication and I say thanks
from me and all the runners. Poor Dani did an extra few miles of the
course, but was never in need of help out there… Steve’s jacket worked at
the end! Dale entered with an ankle problem that made him turn back after
only a few miles… he’s fine but upset not to get Birthday Cake. Oh yes,
Miz Michelle Barton turned 41 on race day… her daughter, Sierra, was 12 a few days before
and we found out several other runners were sharing similar birthdays in
the week. Many happy’s to you all.
Did many of
you know that we had an Olympian Gymnast running our 15K today?
Peter Vidmar was in the 1984 Olympics, 28 years ago and as best
Big Baz can remember, Peter either won or or came close!!!! In today's
muddy 15K however, his son Tim beat his famous dad by 8 minutes!
[Webmaster Doug
Googled Peter to resolve Big Baz's wine fogged memory. Here is what
he found... "As the USA men's gymnastics team captain, he led his
teammates to America's first team gold medal with their stunning
upset victory over the defending world champions, the People's Republic of
China. He went on to win the silver medal in the individual
all-around competition (the first American to have ever won an Olympic
All-Around medal), and with a perfect score of 10, he captured the gold
medal on the pommel horse."]
As for the race itself, big Jon Clark seems
to be the man… again! He took it out hard and when I was finishing
marking the return route he ran passed me as though his ass was on fire.
1:09:35 on that course on that day was a magic performance. 48 year-old Mark
Donaldson again put in a good performance coming in about three and a half
minutes later. My old mate from Fresno, JK Lundberg was real happy with
his first trail race down South and was only 64 seconds behind Mark. Must
mention big Rick Herr who came in 4th overall and feels his
good
trail running days are yet to come, I think so to0!
The ladies division was won by young
Stephanie Smith, coming in 29th overall. Second place was
Tracy Rose a newbie to our trails. Thanks to me ole mate Marisa, Tracy will
be back. Third place was a happy Ingrid Pederson, she loved the rain….
Silly woman! All the award winners were happy, even having to stand
around waiting in the pouring rain. My own observation tells me you all
enjoyed these extreme Southern California winter conditions. As for Sam
and Andy running topless… there is just no hope! My new 4 foot-something
mate Aurora Santilla, age 10, was happy with her magic T-Shirt
finishers award… and
I think it will fit! Mum Julie was happy also, very proud mum.
Even turning up to run in those conditions
was magic for me to see… I never even received one phone call to ask if the
race was still on. You guys are magic and thanks for those who would have
liked to picked up their race shirt… but in all the panic of Fridays prep
I left the shirts at home, safe! Those coming to the next race will get
them and those wanting me to send them via the postal service I will do
that on request. OK? We didn’t lose anyone, not too many injuries this
race and to those who said thanks… “gud on ya mate”. One can only hope we
can all do it again on Feb. 4, but maybe a little better weather.
Much Love and big hugs to all. Toodle
Pip for now… English saying! Big BAZZA XX
(A
bunch of runners arrived after the start, but didn't want to run... I am
prepared to put their names on the next race... but they must tell me
before the 4th. BAZZA)
NOTE: Big Baz needs a real
typist to help speed up getting these results out to all his runner
friends... He'll even pay! Volunteers contact Big Baz at:
bazhawley@sti.net
(Better yet
would be a spreadsheet hero who could set up his system, so BAZ could
merely enter the bib
numbers and
finish times, then click once and have Excel do the
work using his existing entry form data base.)
