Turkey Trek 5k - I was late signing up for this race because I was still fatigued from my 140-mile race just two weeks ago. I ran about 12 miles during the past week and decided late Thursday to go for it. The weather was perfect, around 50 degrees with no wind. (Still no snow in the Denver area yet!) That uphill for the last mile was a b*tch! I won my age group (1/14) and placed 40th (40/438) overall.

Route 66 Ultrarun - 140-miler I ran this race in 2024 and came back this year to see if I could improve my time. The race begins in Seligman, AZ, passing through Peach Springs, Kingman and Oatman, and finishes in Topock. The weather was warmer at the start this year with less wind. I cut about 7 hours off of my 2024 time with a finish time of 50 hours, 42 minutes and 2 seconds this year. (About 5-1/2 hours of sleep)

Ready to Run the Route 66 Ultrarun 140-miler!

The Great Trailhead Footrace 10-miler - Blue sky and cool temperatures at Bear Creek Lake State Park today, but, oh, that wind. Gusts up to 54 MPH on a gorgeous trail! I connected with many of my 3W Race friends - definitely worth the outing. I finished 25th overall and won the 60-69 year old age group. My wife Jeanne also placed third in her age group in the 5-mile race. A fun day!

The weather was pretty good early on, but gusty winds blew in around noon. I took 46 minutes off of last year’s time for a PR on this particular course. I won first place in my age group and 38th overall.

“So Long to Summer 5k” - Sunny, but cool weather for today’s 5k race. The last uphill was a doozy! First in age group (1/7) and 9th place overall (9/228). Finally getting my rhythm back. Nice medal and scored a $15 gift certificate to Mici’s Italian restaurant. Yum!

Flying’ Lions 5k - Fundraiser for the Littleton Lions high school Cross Country team. Awesome weather and a good hill to climb in the first mile. Finished first in my age group and 25th overall.
