Towers Updated

7/14:

A hot evening with no breeze made for sightly challenging conditions. We had a few dinged up runners and then others tapering for big races, which meant there weren't too many PRs on the day, although Mike Hinterberg made up for that by rolling out a very impressive 31:10, by far the fastest ascent on the evening. Six new runners this evening pushed us over 100 total ascenders for the year. Keep 'em coming!

Streakers:

14 TTs in '11: Alex M (gold* for perfect attendance)
13 TTs
in '11: Pete
12 TTs in '11: Mary B, Nick C,
Brian W
11 TTs in '11: Slusher, Cat S

6/30:


More terrible weather greeted our turnout of 22 runners. Rain, wind and lightening this time around. Nonetheless there were many PRs: Brian Stefanovich, Chris Hinds, Doug Nash, Marji Nash, Dave Seabeck, Lane Eskew and Pete (the beard) Stevenson. Alex showed up too, as he continues his quest for the perfect-streaker season.

perfect streakers:


13 TTs in '11: Alex M.
12 TTs
in '11: Pete, Brian W
11 TTs in '11: Mary B, Nick C
10 TTs in '11: Slusher, Cat S

6/16:

Hail and general nastiness for the 10 that assembled. Alex May keeps his perfect Towers season alive, and a no-show from Pete means he is the only perfect streaker left in 2011.

6/2 (Horsetooth):

A bit of wind and lots of sunshine made for a pleasant evening on the rock, with a total of 22 runners taking in the awe-inspiring views of the Divide to the west, the plains to the east, Wyoming's high plains to the north and the Bluesky valley to the south. Redstone Canyon on the back side of Horsetooth was gorgeously green after the recent bout of moisture.


5/19 (Horsetooth):

A wet day up on Horsetooth this evening. Apparently the FoCo crew do okay in the snow, but not in the rain. Just nine showed up to brave the elements and enjoy the non-view from on top of Horsetooth.

A no show from Slush means that we are now down to two perfect streakers:

10 TTs in '11: Pete and Alex M.
9 TTs
in '11: Brian Walter, Mary Boyts, Scott Slusher.
8 TTs in '11: Cat, Nick C.


5/5:

Even though it snowed the first two days of May and has snowed this week, for Towers last Thursday it felt like summer. The stellar conditions helped 10 of the 28 starters set PRs and allowed for a little more linger time at the top.

Jenn Malmberg seems to run faster every single time she sets foot on the hill, meaning the women's fastest known time gets reset pretty much every two weeks. The new standard for the women is now 34:05, which according to the Towers to marathon conversion chart is a 3:02/03 marathon equivalency. Currently, the data are showing 33:40 as the sub-3 hour marathon standard (revised up with the recent addition of Boston/FoCo marathon times). After a slightly disappointing Boston, Kyle proved that he's got a sub-3 in there somewhere with his impressive new PR. Other PRs:

PRs: Jenn M, Kyle F, Dan Bla, Doug N, Dustin, Elizabeth, John F, Mike N, Rob B, Ron M.

Perfect Streakers List is down to three: Alex May, Slush, Pete.

Note: We'll be changing things up next week (5/19) with a run at The Rock. Horsetooth upper parking lot just before 6:00. See you there!
