The Bear / Pikes Peak / Laurel Valley

Well done to Gordon, finishing 128/700+ at the Bear, 1541 feet in 5 miles (and more hairy tartan covered Scots than "Braveheart" and "Brigadoon" put together) on what was probably the warmest conditions they've seen at that race yet. Gordon was first Chucktown runner home in 48mins 53s

There is still no movement on the Pikes Peak marathon waitlist - I think I'm going to run at Laurel Valley, upstate on 14th August instead (although it sounds kind of ominous - try googling Laurel Valley race and read any of the reports !)

If you're thinking of an Ultra this season try one of these as a start: www.ultrasontrails.com or alex runs if you'd rather stick to the hard-top.

Gordon, didn't know you were prepping for the Bear. What else are folks training for?
