We had an excellent turn out yesterday and a nice morning to race.   A perfect way to start the Holiday Season.   

Thanks to all of you who invited your friends, please invite more for the Vernal Equinox run.   Thanks to Jen for bringing the ginger bread.

We had a perfect night for a race, cool but dry.   Course was completely dry so very fast.   Thank you for Nick and Jen bringing the Rhubarb bars.   They were very good.

Attendance was very low.  I am sure it didn't help with the website being down.   

Well we had one of our best turnouts for the final race of the year, 20 runners.   We had a very cool but dry morning, perfect day to race.

We had seven grand slammers (ran all four races), Steve Cackley, E David Granum, Bill McCracken, Bob Mow, Del Scharffenberg, Mack Stilson, and David Walters.

I didn't check but Del believes Mack is the first runner to win all four races in one year.

Hi All

We had a wonderful night for a race.   Sunny and dry and not to warm.  Portland Parks had closed Lower Macleay trail and had fenced it off with a chain link fence so we took a detour.  I kept the course the same length, going up to Holman Lane to hit Wild Wood and then to keep the distance the same we did an out and back towards the Stone Hult.   Since we added an extra hill many thought this was a tougher course than normal.  It was nice to have the out and back on Wild Wood to see more of the runners.

We had 13 racers today on a cold day.  The majority of the course was snow or ice covered.   It was very icy going up Lower Macleay trail and icy down Thurman.   Wildwood trail was perfect, hard packed snow the majority of the trail.  There were still a few down trees but they had cleaned up a few of the worst ones.
