Winter Trail Run Series 15K Results - February 10, 2007

G'Day
It's raining outside as I am writing this, a little different to the magic weather we had yesterday up at Blue Jay for the running of the 15K. We are so very lucky living in Southern California.


 Had a nice colorful turnout, I love the camaraderie we share, and the return of some of my older mates.  We must be doing something right to get them out of their wheel chairs! There was one name missing on the finishers list for the 12K.... must say sorry to Jonathan Jordon, he finished with his wife Tara. We did have one little problem with a missing runner, a first timer decided to get sore feet and maybe made a wrong turn out there at Sugar Loaf. It was good to see his smiling face as we were leaving to check out the trail. I know it made his wife Jennifer and daughter happy; just hate to lose anyone.

Young 26-year-old Eric Frome is making it real hard for the other speedsters.  He already won the 12K and again was first to cross the finish line, making it look easy I might add. Brian McDermott moved up one spot from his 12K finish, coming in second - 5 minutes behind Eric. Rob McNair walked the last 100 meters to finish third, smiling as usual; he sure loves his trail running. Brian's dad cruised in taking 4th place and we welcomed back me good mate Scott McKenzie; who came in only seconds behind Mr. McDermott.

As for the fairer sex, Miss Michelle Barton won again coming in 8th overall. She won a 50K the week before! Annie Hall took second overall as she did at the 12K. Young Leilani Rios was real happy with her 3rd place finish award; her cross-country season starts soon.

The over 60 division was won again by Leon Grey; he loves it out there. My 67-year-old mate Doug Malewicki enjoyed another finish, but was not happy about seeing his own blood from a fall on the trail; those dam rocks. Bill Dickey missed the 12K, but will be back for the remainder of the series and the 50K in April. Entry forms for the SJT50K are available.... bazhawley@sti.net

All in all we had a magic day in the sunshine, maybe we can attract a few more that are missing out on the fun. I suggest all runners carry water for the 18K run and don't forget your parking permit. Marg and Bill did do a good Job at the start and the finish line, I need all the help I can get. For entry forms go to scausatf.org.. we are working on a new WTRS site, I will keep you posted. Stay healthy and don't forget the glass is always half full, mine is! See you all on February 24th.  Love BAZ
