CMB — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:05:08 +0000

After a few weeks of getting geared up for races, athletes for Team Pearl Izumi-Smith are hitting the trails for some quality racing!

In Oregon, Ashley Nordell and Scott Jaime will be lacing them up for the Where’s Waldo 100k. You can follow the race via Twitter HERE.

In Colorado, Nick Clark will be competing in the Pike’s Peak Marathon and in Michigan, Nick Lewis will be running the Marquette 50 mile.

Good Luck to everyone out there!

Where will you be racing? The new Leadville 100?

We heard a great comment in regards to the selling of the Leadville 100- “Lifetime Fitness wants to get more people to run so they are looking into paving the trail.”- Now that’s funny!

Western States 2010 in the books

CMB — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 20:22:58 +0000

WOW! What else can be said. You can surf the blogs, check email lists and get it from the papers. Needless to say Western States 2010 was all it was cracked up to be. The lead up to this was highly anticipated and it sure didn’t disappoint. It was great to see all teh “tweets” and facebook posting as well as following live. As expected- the lead group was solid and right where people thought they would be.

Congrats to Geoff Roes for not only finishing first overall but setting a course record! Let’s leave the “*” for the steroid era of baseball- 15:07 is just plain FAST! Oh ya- he is also taking home the $2000 Run Like An Animal Challenge purse. Not too shabby.

Rounding out the top was Anton in 15:13, Killian in 16:40 and our very own Nick Clark in 16:05. Josh Brimhall fought some early issues to rally and come in at 21:34. Nick Lewis dropped at mile 80 due to a pesky hammy. Congrats to all involved at Western States 2010!!!

Team Run at Chautauqua

Here is a little video taken on a team run during the summit. It was tricky taking video because of the slick trails so sorry for being so shaky.
