Long Island 6 Hour 60th Birthday Run: Race Photos & Results

This morning was a tough day to run (90+ humidity with on again off again drizzle) but weather aside, I had a great time at the Long Island 6 Hour Run (officially, "Fred von der Heydt Memorial 6 Hour 60th Birthday Run")!  It was my first ultra of the year, and after the Sri Chinmoy Marathon in August, longest distance of the year as well :O

I'll write up a short race report tomorrow, but it seemed like old times because I ran a 5K in Central Park yesterday, and followed up with a 50K (32.6 miles, officially) today!  I can't remember the last time I ran a pair of back to back races in recent memory - haha!

Not only was the event first rate - but the post-race party was incredible (subs, pasta, and beer - to mention a few of the things available).  Also, lest I forget, the aid station selection of food and drink was pretty awesome on its own (I have NEVER seen a PB and M&Ms sandwich before today - haha (PBJ and raisons - yes indeed, but not M&Ms).

Here are the race results from GLIRC.

2015 B.U.S. Brookville 6-Hour Run: Race Photos & Results

I was a little surprised to find myself lined up for the B.U.S. 6-Hour Run in Brookville Park this morning!  But I am very glad that I switched from my plan to run the Fall Frolic 30k on Sunday.  Aside from the unbearable humidity during the first couple of hours - it was a great day.  I not only reached my main goal (20 miles) and second (marathon), but also managed to eek out my third (50k)! 

It was also great to see so many friends from the ultra community.  This was my first B.U.S. event since the 3-Hour Run way back in January!  This was my first ultra distance since the Sybil Ludington 50k in 2014! :O

I'll write up a short race report in the next day or so.

Here is link to the preliminary results posted by B.U.S.

The rest of my photos are posted on Facebook.

2011 broadway ultra society 6 hour run: race photos and results

today's 6 hour run in valley stream was tough - because of an unrelenting headwind we had to deal with on the second half of the loop course. i missed my target of running 50k in 5 hours (actually 22 loops was just under 32 miles) by about 10 minutes. the constant 15-20 mph headwind took its toll. in all other respects, it was a great day to run (sunny and in the 40's). after the run (which also included a 3 hour version), the 2010 ny ultrarunning grand prix awards were presented at the brunch.

race report to follow, here are the results from ny ultrarunning.
