A lot like flying: chasing Colorado Runner points at the Greenland Trail 8-miler
Posted by simon on 4/20/2008 on simon's blog

Who’d have thought that a set of 100-metre repeats would be perfect preparation for a hilly 8-mile trail race?

But that’s the way it turned out. For the first time since cross-country days in England, I found myself flying past people on the downhill stretches of the Greenland Trail race – and there were a lot of them.

I train with a national champion...

... yes, of course I knew her when she was nothing :)

Congratulations to my once-a-week training partner Patty Murray, who is now a US national champion!

She was first woman home in the Masters title race with a blistering 29:54 for the 8k course -- a time that would have been good enough for 16th place among the 20- and 30-year-olds in the open women's race. In the age-graded rankings Patty was second to Kathryn Martin (32:16).
