Hammond Trail 3M & Half-Marathon

9:00AM Saturday, August 17, 2013

Submitted by “Yoon G Kim” <ygk1@humboldt.edu>

 

Thank you to all who came out and ran on a wonderful, but “hot” and “muggy” day. My BIG APOLOGY to those who ran 3-miles today. I must have marked “turn around” too close to the start L -- I have found it out belatedly that it was only about 2.85 miles. I will make sure this won’t happen again. So those who ran 3 miles today got “5% off”.

 

The ½ marathon course was right and had no problems. Maybe due to the hot weather, the only runner that is placed on the all-time top 5 list in each age group is Laura McNulty – 5th in all-time record. Most runners’ time was a tad slower than last year’s including Jason Lewis’ time. Congratulations to Dana Ariel Webb, who not only signed up first in the morning, but finished her very first half marathon today.

 

BIG BIG “Thank You” goes to Ken Yanosko, Paul & Carla Kraus, Bill Dniel for registration, collecting tags, timing, recording and organizing neatly, to Jason Lewis & Tanya Trump for providing McKinleyville HS runners to guard the course with signs and to give water & cheer to thirsty runners on the course, also to Morgin Coonfield’s family (sister, mom + dad) for water & cheer at the aid station, to Gary Timek, Paul Kraus and Harry Kavich for so much help, including bringing big and small clocks, tables, chairs, paper cups, traffic signs and even retrieving all the signs afterward, and most of all to all the runners, family and friends who showed up, ran, and cheered for the runners. Without your help and support, it wouldn’t have been possible. Big thanks also goes to the first time runners. See you all again next year.

© 5% off time = what you ran on 8/17/13. It was 2.85 miles.

© Estimated time = Had it been exact 3 miles, what could have been, or would have been your time. It’s calculated by (5% off time)´(3¸2.85).

P.S. -- HAMMOND TRAIL 3-MILER

 

        Finally, a sub-eight race, but alas (see Yoon’s commentary) with an asterisk! I arrived at Hiller Park after a night of fitful dreams, remembering the way this race has buffaloed me in the past: in 2010, I was an hour late, expecting a 10AM start, and when I was allowed to run alone, I turned around about 50 yards early, at a painted “turnaround” sign, but not, as it developed, the right one. In ’11, the race now a 3-miler, I went out hard, hoping for redemption, and was completely unprepared for the steady uphill eastbound on Murray, or for the steep uphill after the turnaround. Crash and burn! In ’12 I finally got it mostly right, but one out of three isn’t much of a record.

        I was optimistic, however, about the heat (we’ve had some heat records hereabouts lately) which turned out not to be a factor in the shorter race, though I heard it factored more heavily in the Half. The first mile was almost entirely in an arboreal shade, with a gentle, cooling sea-breeze -- but I had no more than crested the rise on Murray when the leaders came bursting back toward me! My own first mile was a 7:49, fast for me -- it seemed impossible! “Z” was going so fast as he burst from the trail back onto Murray that he was carried most of the way across the street before he could get himself headed west ... were these guys running 4-minute miles? But shortly after that I saw that the turn came way early -- and I would not have to climb down and back out from the gorge! Maybe I could have gone out even harder!

        Once back into the shade, I was able to press it to the finish, though it seemed a longer mile than on the way out. I caught a 10-year-old at the park gate, but let him run on, not wanting to lose my cookies in an all-out dive for Yoon’s tri-lingual start/finish line. It’s called “catch & release.” Tristan Cole took top honors, not far ahead of Megan Rolland, 1st female and a sparking 2nd overall! Morgin was 2nd female, and Chloe Pigg, who seems to have grown several inches, 3rd, as the youngsters gear up for Fall X-C.

        Morgin’s coach, Jason Lewis, took the men’s Half in 1:19, Laura McNulty the women’s title. Chloe’s coach, James Washington, though he did not run, fared less well than Jason, having his car stolen the day before. Hope he got it back!
