Josh had exactly what I expected with Kelly Mortenson nipping at his heels at the Pemberton 50k. Josh recorded one of the fastest winning times with a swift 3:21.39. Kelly finished strong at 3:26.09. In the womens race, Jamie Donaldson slipped under 4:20 running 4:18.11. 15+ minutes ahead of Juliet Morgan and Honey Albrecht who duked it out for 2nd. Chances are the Speedgoat 50k won’t be that fast! Full results are in the comments section in the post below…enjoy! -Speedgoat Karl
Brimhall is my favorite for a fast one in the desert. Josh will probably be chased by some mystery man…we love to see it! Paul Dewitt’s record is slick at 3:11.55 on the fast track! Enjoy the dirt people! I’m over the snow-runnin! We’re runnin’ on snow at the Speedgoat 50K! Moab next week for the Red Hot 50k, hope it’sa steamer…look for the odds here on Thursday. We’ll see who I pick to win, it’s a no-brainer…………Speedgoat Karl
Jorge Pacheco, without Anton Krupicka at his heels, nailed down another stellar time at RR with a textbook 14:12. The number is up to beat for the fastest 100 of the year. Jorge also won the Avalon 50 a few weeks earlier to make it 2 for 2. The race for Speedgoat of the Year 2008 is on! Jen Davis took home the women’s crown with a comfy 20:01. Jenn Shelton stayed out of this one, but her record of 14:49 remains set in stone. 100 mile race #2 is now in the books. Susitna is next in the frozen Tundra of Alaska! The Speedgoat 50k course now sits buried under a150″ base. The epic race in Utah may be on frozen tundra in July! -Speedgoat Karl
