Race Highlights
Well, there sure were some wickedly fast wabbits out there!  Two time All-American runner and former University of Colorado standout Zeke Tiernan, 32, of Aspen Colorado ran 8:05 in his first attempt at an ultra to win by over 40 minutes, while Samantha Sigle, 32, and back living in Boulder after spending some time in New Zealand, also made her first 50 miler a winning one, running 9:44 (6th overall!) to win the women’s division by half an hour.  

Charles Corfield, 48, fresh off his third place finish at the Leadville 100 came bounding down the mountain to get second, with Steamboat’s very own Allen Belshaw, 40 (and third place last week in the Wasatch 100!) taking third.  Jenna Grubin, 30, also of Steamboat and Mary Mahoney, 31, of Crested Butte, were second and third women.  Elise Boeh of Woodland Park and David Goldberg of Flagstaff were the top Masters. 

Prizes
The winners got a beautiful stained glass plaque, and all eight runners also received beautiful Smartwool sweaters.  We also gave Ian Maddieson from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and at 65 the oldest runner in the race, a Smartwool sweater for his terrific performance, as he finished in 14:49.

Weather
The weather conditions were perfect, the post-race party was fun, and the runners all described the scenery as spectacular.  The veteran ultra runners called the course among the most difficult they’d run.  Quiet a few runners (including winner Zeke Tiernan), described seeing what they identified as “moose” and others claimed they saw “deer” or “elk” along the course, but we attribute this to extreme fatigue.  There was nothing out there but large and cleverly disguised bunny rabbits.
