2014 wurtsboro mountain 30k: race photos & results

another wurtsboro mountain 30k is in the books!  this is one of my all-time favorite races - at any distance.  and, as recently as yesterday, i was on the fence about running it because of a nasty chest cold that i couldn't seem to shake for the last week. in fact, if wasn't for the forecast of rain on sunday, i would have skipped it and run the boston blowout instead.

as luck had it the rain held off for the race!  given my less than 100% condition, i was very pleased with my 2:37:04, 8:26 pace, finish. there were a couple of moments out there when i questioned my decision-making process - but all's well that ends well ;O 

i'll write up a short race report in the next couple of days.

here are the race results from coolrunning.

here are the rest of my photos up on facebook.

2012 wurtsboro mountain 30k: race photos and results

we had some tough weather conditions for the wurtsboro mountain 30k this morning. despite the seemingly ever present rain as don and i drove to the race, by the time it got underway at 9 the rain had stopped - thankfully! still, we had windy, raw conditions.

i managed a 2:33:42, 8:15 pace, over the hilly course. for the first dozen miles i was on pace for a 2:30 finish, but the last 6.6 miles took their toll. even so, i finished a solid 3 minutes faster than the 2011 edition - and a even managed to finish ahead of my 2:34 at the boston blowout last weekend!

race report to follow. here are the race results from coolrunning.
