CAPTL BRTAKS WOMTN's TAHCIF RIM TRAIL FKT

alt lonn trent

Jenny Capel knew she had some fitness left fol-

lowing her win at the San Diego 100 in June. So
the 40-yearold mother of nvo from Reno, Nevada,
decided to try something epic why not tackle
the lTGmile Tahoe Rim Trail in record time?
Capel and Jason Ostrom. 37, of Fort Collins,
| *'--,
l1 u6-'
-\. :-
Colorado, set off together from Echo Summit at "\"\'t?' :
r- r:
4:00 a.m. on Saturday, July 27. Capel's goal was
' b=-,'
to lower the 2004 women's (supported) record

of 55 hours, 22 minutes set by former Hardrock
100 champion Betsy Nye of Truckee, California.
Capel ran strong and steady, generally fol-
lowing a 49-hour pace through the Mount Rose
Summit Trailhead (about 90 miles). Earlier in
her run, Nye had helped Capel and Ostrom
through the Desolation Wilderness section
of the TRT. By the time Capel arrived at the
Kingsbury Trailhead at about 5:00 p.m., it was
obvious Nye's record was in serious jeopardy.
Capel'' only major challenge was feeling sleep-
deprived; running downs and flats were fine,
but Capel for-rnd herself feeling increasingly
sleepy on the climbs.
Nye. one of the sport's more $racious souls, re-
roined Capel for the final l5-mile push ftom Big
Meadow. They were joined by TRT veteran Victor
Ballesteros as Capel ran to a triumphant finish.
Capel arrived back at her original starting point
at Echo SunTmit in 53 hor-rrs, 39 minutes, to the
cheers ofher crew, which included husband Steve,
the couple's tvvo sons, and Capel's father. Roland
N{artin. It was Martin who served as Capel's inspi-
ration. ln 2000, Marlin, Joe Braninburg and Robet
robsey. all of Reno. became rhe first "official" tRt
thru-record holders with a 66:20 run.
Ostrom finished in a notable time as well,

trail, signifying a passing of the TRT women's

HYDRATION GEAR REVIEW

PART 1: HANDHELD AND WAIS}MOUNTED SYSTEMS
by DonaLd h,waglio

Over the past several years, innovations in hy-

dration science have evolved at a somewhat
steady rate; it seems like every summer there
are advanced formulations, newly discovered
ingredients, or enhanced electrolyte blends that
promise to improve our performance. For the
containers that hold those drinks. however. it
was a different story.
Historically, ultrarunners had one of three
options for carrying fluids on the go: a 20-oz
water bottle in the hand, a bottle in a waist
pack, or a fluid reservoir in a backpack. And
while there are minor differences from one
company's products to another's, there has
been relatively little variation in those prod-
ucts from year to year, and minimal expansion
of the types of products thal were offeied.
Recently all that has changed, and now
there's almost a larger and more varied selec-
tion ofhydration carriers than anyone can keep
track of, That's not to say we can't have fun
trying, though.
This is the first of a two-part series devoted
to all the options at your disposal to make hy-
dration on the trail as fast, efficient, and us-
er-friendly as possible. In part 1, we'll look at

; Smaller, lighter handhelds or waist packs are
often preferred for training runs with periodic
access to aid (such as a drinking fountain, con-
venlence store, or your car), or races with more
lrequent aid station support.
Bottle packs are more versatile and generally
considered easier to clean than hydration packs, as

Before the sun hits, runners qet some miles in between Badwater and Furnace Creek No kidding!

'i
l, Despite temperatures over 120 degrees with a
consistent 2G30 mph wind on the first day of
the 48-hour race, 81 runners completed the fa-
bled fs-mile Death Valley to Mt. Whitney route
with over 13,000 feet of elevation gain. After all,
Badwater runners prepare for the heat in sau-
nas, and train at the hottest parts of the day
while wearing multiple sweatshirts, a raincoat,
a wool hat... Traveling to Badwater, the lowest
l
noint in North America ar 282 feet below sea
ievel, they revel in the heat and embrace the
l
Death Valley to Mount Whitney race route as
"Mother Nature's Greatest Sports Arena."
The race got off to a predictably fast start, with
rookie entrant Oz Pearlman, a 3Gyearold men-
talist and magician who recently won the New
Jersey Marathon, setting a blistering 2:70 for 77
miles to the first time station at Furnace Creek.
26
Pearlman was followed five minutes later by Os-
waldo lopez, a 41-year-old Mexican national who
lives in Madera, California, and has one previous
Badwater victory and three iunner-up finishes to
his credit. Two minutes later was rookie entrant
5 Carlos Alberto Gomez de SA. a 39-vearold runner
and race promoter fiom Portugal who has had
impressive finishes at top ultras around the world.
Stovepipe Wells, at mile 42, is famous for its
enormous and heavily photographed sand dunes,
while for Badwater runners it represents the hot-
test part of the day and race course. Pearlman
blazed through there in 5:38, followed 20 minutes
later by Sd, and seven minutes later by Lopez.
Not surprisingly, the women's race was led by
Pam Reed, a 52-yearold race promoter from Jack-
son, Wyoming, who was the 2.OO2 and 2003 overall
Badwater winner and is a perennial frontrunner.
She passed through Stovepipe Wells in 7:2o like a
metronome, 17 minutes ahead of Catherine Todd,
a 34yearold university professor who is Australian,
but lives in the United Arab Emirates, and compet-
ed her first Badwater in 2012, placing sixth female.
After Stovepipe Wells, with temperatures well
over the official high of t20 and a 2G to 3Gmph
side wind creatin$ convection oven conditions,
the runners began the 17-mile ascent of Towne
Pass, the exit fiom Death Valley. Amazingly, the
gMegree temperatures at the 5,000 foot summit
actually felt cool to runners, crewmembers, and
staff alike. It would be a long grind, with each
runnels three- to six-person suppoft crew working
overtime to keep their athlete hydrated, fed, and
regularly doused with a garden sprayer pumped
full of ice cold water, as they all fled Death Vallev.
As the runnen headed westbound, their departure
from Death Valley took them down an 1l-mile, 5,00G
foot descent into Panamint Valley, to the third time
station at Panamint Springs, mile 72. It was there thar
the race figuratively heated up, with frontrunners Sa
and Lopez passing through the roadside oasis in a
dead heat with a one-hour lead on the third mar.
Charlie Engle, who was retuming to his favorite race
after four years away, nearly half of which he spen,
famously locked up by the feds for defaulting or.
a pair of mortgage loans, as had millions of othe:
Americans (who weren't imprisoned).
It was at Panamint Springs and beyond that th.
incredible spirit of the Badwater family revealed :-
self in tr,vo illustrative instances: firsq race leade:.
Sd and lopez opted not to try to psyche each oth.:
out on the eight-mile, ZOOGfoot ascent to Fath::
Crowlefs viewpoint. Instead, they and their two p;:
ers settled into a rhytJrm toge*rer, and chatted :

The days leading up to this race consisted of
cool temperatures and a significant amount of
rain. I have completed the FlatRock 50K the last
two years in a row (in late September) and have
never seen a muddy spot on the trail, leading to
personal delusions that the course had some sort
of magical drainage system - in spite of the fact
that it was still raining on race morning. After
getting detailed race instructions, Eric set us off
with a hearty "C,Ol" f?om our imaginary starring
line right next to the shelter house. My plan was
simple, just keep moving. Of course I had plans
on nutrition and hydration, pace, and thoughts
of cutofftimes crossed my mind, but my primary
goal was to just finish. Knowint this challenging
course very well, it seemed a legitimate strategy.
The first 50K outand-back went very well. I

ROCK THE RIDGE

SWIFT FEET IN THE PRESERVES

by Trishul Cherns, RD

In the pristine natural beauty of the Mohonk

& Minnewaska State Park Preserves, Rock the
fudge so-mile race set a number of firsts. Not
only was it the first ultra-distance race the Pre-
serves have hosted, but Rock The fudge entrants
raised over $100.000 to benefit the Mohonk Pre-
serve, the most money ever raised for a Preserve
athletic event. Firsts also included establishing
course records for men and women for what is
now to be an annual event.
Rock The tudge, inspired by and launched in
connection with the 50th anniversary of the Mo-
honk Preserve, boasts picturesque views from a
course that winds along the carriage trails, con-
necting both parks. There are 3,s00 feet of el-
evation gained and 3,500 feet of elevation lost
along this course with the last 20 miles mostly
downhill. Combined with the good footing,
this makes the course fast; perfect for the trail
racer wanting to run a swift time.
The challenge included 174 runners, walkers
and hikers in three divisions: Individual s0,
Team 50 & Team Relay 50 Miles. In the Indi-
vidual s0. there were 81 starters and zs finish-
ers. There were 15 teams entered in the Team 50 Earlv morninq start at the Testimonial Gate in the Mohonk Preserve
Mile division with all 15 teams crossing the fin-
ish line. Each team could have the minimum was moving, he beat the first place relay team by entire race with SO degrees in the morning and

SQUAW PEAK

GIVING ITA GO
by Cl"ay Shaw

The race director of Squaw Peak, John Bozung,

and I are good ffiends. We met at the Na-
nisivik Marathon in the Canadian Arctic in
1996. We were also roommates on the Antarc-
tica Marathon trip in 1997 and have enjoyed
many other marathon trips together. We are
both originally California guys, and we share
a common bond with running. I have helped
lohn (JB) at seven of his Squaw Peak so-milers
and have seen and been involved with the set-
up and tireless work that he puts into hosting
this high altitude run in the mountains in the
ProvoOrem area of Utah.
This year, a mild winter made for good course
conditions. Combined with ideal weather for
race day, it was close to perfect for the Squaw
Peak s0. A record number of 238 finishers com-
pleted the 2013 running.
Eric Storheim was first across the finish line
in 8:43:38. He was followed by Dominick Lay-
field in 8:45:46 and Brian Beckstead in 8:53:38.
Rounding out the top five were Ford Smith in
8:5810 and Cameron Kasteler in 9:01:51.
In the women's race, Meghan Woolley, the
defending champion, had a successful repeat, Marci Lamoreaux and Amie Blackham float alonq the trail
clocking in at 936:.42. Darcy Africa, a previous
winner at Squaw Peak, was second in 10:05:47.
Also on the podium was Amie Blackham, who mountains but doesn't do well with altitude. the 2:30 p.m. cutoff time. At that point, she was
finished in 10:07:4 for third. Alexis Crelin was Okay, not the ideal debut course, but she hung headed into the high country and Windy Pass at

CAYUGA TRAIL

TOP TALEhIT
by Scott Lwingston

Saturdals inaugural Ca],uga Trails 50 was a

great event. My wife, Debbie, and I made the
trip to Ithaca, New York so that Debbie could
run the 50 mile trail race. The start/finish was
at Robert H. Treman State Park, which was our
home for the weekend.
The race made use of the trails in and around
the park and nicely wound its way through sev-
eral aid stations multiple times. The start/fin-
ish was blessed with an amazing playscape, so
our kids and about a dozen other children were
suitably entertained.
In 2O74, Cayuga will be the USATF sO-Mile
Trail Championships. Race director Ian Golden
also promotes the Virgil Crest Ultras, so he is no
rookie when it comes to holding a big event. He
and his team ofvolunteers did a fine job ofput
ting on Cayuga. He brought in loads ofsponsors,
which permitted an uncharacteristically large
prize list for an ultramarathon and attracted
some top talent. He also instilled some charac-
ter in the race and even started the runners by
blowing through a ram's horn.
Debbie struggled mightily, but kept plugging

SAN JUAN SOLSTICE 50 MILE

FREAK OF NATURE
bq Jerry C'ra4, RD

Seven hours, 35 minutes and 3 seconds. Setting
an insane pace, Dakota Jones shattered Matt Car-
penter's previous record f?om 2OO4 by almost 25
minutes! In the process, he knocked nearly 40
minutes off his 2010 time, which was the same
time as Jason Schlarb's in 2072, both in a tie
for the second fastest run on the course at that
time. Jason came in second this year
knocking nearly six minutes off his 2012 time
and placing him jusr over seven minutes away
fiom the sub-8-hour-Freak-of-Nature category.
Crested Butte runner Josh Arthur came in third
in 8:39:03, making that Freaky category a definite
possibility in the future for this young runner.
Petra McDowell took first in the women's di-
vision in 70:26'.57, positioning her only slightly
over half an hour away from Anthea Schmid's
2002 women's course record. Silke Koester was
the second woman rn 70l.36:26, well within
range to take that record also. Emily Judd took
women's third place in 7o.42l.34, a mere three-
quarters of an hour from the record.
In spite of major wildfires burning to the south,
the course remained safe and the air remained
clear. Creek crossings in Alpine Gulch were not a
problem and snowfields were virh-rally noncxistent.
in 8:07:13, An experiment using bar code scanners for
timing at aid stations was generally agreed to
be a failure. The scanners did not perform well
in sunlight, so runners had to stop and then
help shade the bar code on their bibs. This
resulted in some awkward moments as anxious
aid station scanner operators attempted to hear
the beep confirming data capture while runners
tried to stand still enough long enough for that
to happen. The race committee has decided to
abandon this process for future races. I

NORTH FORK 50 MILE/5OK

FCIRTY-OhIF FIRST-TIMERS FlNIsH TI.IE'FORK

by Jailce O'C,rady, R.D.

There is nothing more satislying to a race di- %z-,

rector than to see runners finishing their very
'I
first ultramarathon, always with big smiles and
sometimes with tears of joy. At North Fork 50-
Mile and 5oK, firsftimers have always had a
higher finishing rate than veteran ultrarunners.
And that was true again this year. Fortythree
first-timers started the 50K and the 5O-mile, and
all but two finished with flying colors-a 95%
finishing rate compared to 88% for veterans. In-
teresting, isn't it?
North Fork is a great course lor newbies, as
well as veterans. It is 100% trails, mostly single-
track with some double-track, in the Pike National
Forest on the Front Range of the Rockies, only
40 miles from Denver. There are some beautiful
views of 14,00Gfoot peaks, but the course itself
reaches a relatively mild marimum elevation of
8,400 feet. The trails are mainly smooth decom-
posed granite, with only a few rocky and rooted
sections. The climbs and downhills, though long,
are not terribly steep. The 4,550 feet of climb in the
50K and 2350 in the 5Gmile are moderate com-
pared to many mountain races. It's not a multiple-
repeat loop{ourse like some of the ultras "down Adam Bamesburoertraverses an old burn-scarred area overlookino the lush oine forests

GETTING MY MONEY'S WORTI-I

bg ALLen Lucas

When I run ultras, I like to think I'm getting my
monefs worth by pushing the cutoffs. I paid
for an eight-and-a-half-hour time Iimit and I'm
going to use every bit of it.
That strategy falls apart, thou$h, with a fixed-
duration race, such as the Brazen Racing Dirty
Dozen 12-hour and 6-hour event. For this kind of
race, you get your monefs worth by going more

It's a great course that is varied just enough, with
about 150 feet of hills and every tlpe of trail sur-
face to keep it interesting for 12 hours.
Making it a bit more interesting this year was
a fierce wind that never let up. It was brutally
cold (by California standards feel free to ro11
your eyes) at the start but worked out nicely
later in the day as it warmed up a bit. Fortu-
nately, we rarely had to run into the wind since
we were almost always running across il.
The popularity of this event has exploded,
with many runners attracted by the festival feel,
as well as the many options offered. In addi-
tion to the individual l2-hour and 6-hour events,
there are team events and a few traditional 5K
and lOK races scattered throughout the day, plus
a barbecue that keeps everyone well fed.
An astounding 56 runnerc mana$ed to finish an
ultra distance in the 6hour racg with both the male
@rian turcell wrrh 44.46 miles) and ftmale (Michelle
Hazelton with 43, miles) coune records bein! broken.
For the 12-hour race, 85 runners managed to
go an ultra distance, including many whose
names are appearing in Ultakmnutg maga-
zine for the first time. Nakia Baird reached
73.45 miles and Stacey Costa crushed the femaie Stacey Costa wins the women's 12-hour with
course record with 67.38 miles. b/.J6 miles

tory stops at local vintners and breweries, show-
cases the towns of Ithaca, Ovid, Ulysses and of

Despite our own bovine preferences, private
doubts, personal disclaimers and niggling inju-
ries, we were all conflonted by a common en-
emy: MUD. In his book, Mud: AMilitarg ITistorg,
C. E. Wood explores the glories of mud in all
its ramifications: permanent mud, seasonal mud,
random mud, fatigue-inducing mud... After a sol-
id fer,v weeks of rain, we all knew that mud, like
the proverbial bridge<rossing troll, would exact
a price, one which would deepen as the merry-
go-round effect of the 16.1mile loop took its toll.
In addition to its shoe-sucking, back-
wrenching qualities, as C.E. Wood aptly
points out, mud can supply its own brand of
miracles. Taking a header? Mud is a marvel-
ous cushion. Worried about getting lost? That
is difficult with lots of muddv footprints to
follow. After ail, who else but iunneis would
be out there in such conditions? Desoite the

the confidence boost! Not sure about orooer
loot placement? Skirt the skidmarks and you
will be on relatively solid ground. Need an ex-
cuse for a less than stellar performance? Well,
if it's good enough for Napoleon at Waterloo,
it's good enough for me!

 THE ULTRA LIFE
NOThIING SHORT OF GLORIOUS
bg Scott B. Martxn
I rounded the next to last curve toward the fin-
ish in Scott Park and there she was, my daughter
Mihiret, three months shy of age three, erupting
in shouts of "Papa," beside my smiling wife. I
grabbed her hand and we "ran" the last hundred
yards or so to the finish, me alternately holding
her hand and carrying her. I had dreamed about
this moment for years, and the official race pho-
tolrapher captured it nicely. Another run-of-the-
mill story of a proud parent crossing a finish line
with kid in tow, right? Well, not quite.
Many of us seem attracted to ultras in part
by its ethos of perseverance, of remaining firm
in the face ofobstacles and long odds. Our very
language reflects that. We seek to "survive" to the
finish. To avoid being "cut off' or "crashing and
burning." We wear our suffering like a badge of
honor, and hope a stronger spirit gets forged in
the cauldron ofhills, rocks, distance, latigue and
even boredom that distances like 100 miles throw
at us. And somehow, that inevitably gets tangled
up with the stories of suffering and hope and
perseverance and triumph in our personal and
professional lives, far fiom the trails.
We all seem to have strange affinities for one
particular race or another, ones we go back to year
after year. Whether to see old friends, test ourselves
a$ainst the same course in a sport where each
course is so unique, or just bask in the comfort
and awe of familiar natural surroundings. In the
case of this New Yorker, that race has come to be
an annual sojourn through the majestic Bighorns
of north<entral Wyoming, where I've made and
annually renewed great friendships, particularly
with Diane and Rob from laramie, who do one
distance or another every year and even spontane-
ously crew me at the first big aid station and then
cheer me on at the finish.
Somehow my own repeated struggles (2007
2010) to finish a mountainous course that thrice
76 proved too much for a flatlander came to be a
metaphor in my mind for onloing challenges
I and seemingly insurmountable obstacles on the
E pr,i-t to becoming a parent. You may be famil-
H iar with the tortured reasoning conflating apples
i and oranges we sometimes engage in, like "Life
i is cruel-it won't let my wife and me become par-
ents, why won't it at least let me finish this amaz-
ingly hard and beautiful race I find so special?"
Well, I came back to Bighorn in 2011, a newly
minted yet still expectant parent, and zero for
three at my favorite race in the ultra universe.
DNFs marked all but one of my first seven 100-
mile starts, all in mountain races that I seem to
masochistically embrace, despite a few visits to
a sports psychologist to think throulh my "is-
sues" prior to my 2010 Bighorn debacle.
Ten years of trying to become parents, and
five years ofendless waiting for an international
adoption, had finally borne fruit by the time of
Bighorn's 2011 edition-we had just gotten back
the week prior fiom Ethiopia, where we had gone
to meet our nine-monthold daughter-to-be, only
to return home to wait tvvo more months for pa-
perwork to be finalized. The joy of being a father
at last (or was it also the benefits of nvo weeks
living at altitude and training in the mountains
of central Ethiopia, I wondered) seemed to pull
me on to my first Bighorn finish that June. I was
on such a high on life in general, how could that
not carry over to my race? I really felt like some
greater force was carrying me forward, overcom-
ing all my usual foibles and weak sections.
Then in JLrne 2012, five weeks after a redemp-
tive finish at the Massanutten 100 (avenging a
DNF on my first try there), I had a return date
with the wildflower-studded Bighorns. Leaving
the Cow Camp aid station at mile 76 I real-
ized that I would be hard pressed to make the
cutoffat mile 82.5, and I kept muttering, "finish
for Mahti, finish for Mahti" under my breath,
invoking Mihiret's image and her nickname.
That inspiration got me to the finish line fifteen
minutes under the cutoff Joy again, and now
ifs Bithorn three and yours truly two, for those
keeping score. And no altitude training assist
this time or alternate course due to high coun-
try snow (which had felt like "asterisks" to my
breakthrough finish in 2011).
And yet, last year a setback occurred during
the post-race euphoria, as hip pain (which I first
felt pushing Mihiret in the baby jogger to the straregies was admittedly quite helpful in the
daycare center, as I do daily) ended up being di- long run). It's better not to over-analyze how a
agnosed as a stress fiacture of the sacrum. Even
when it lets me finish, glorious Bighorn seems
to throw me a curve.
The 2013 Bighorn 100 - my first 100-mile effort
post-stress fiacture - occasioned the first time
the family gathered for any of my ultras. We
organized a Wyoming vacation around the trip.
It was wonderful hanging out with Mihiret at
the playground in Scott Park during the pre-race
briefing, and then in the spectacular Tongue
River Canyon just besides the raging river of the
same name. But when it came time to say good-
bye and start the race, I departed with a real
lump in my throat. How does a two-year-old
comprehend that "papa" isn't coming back for
some 33-34 hours? A big part of me just wanted
to run back and hug her and just play tourist as
the family would during my absence.
I worried in advance that the added pressure
of family at the finish might cause me to blow
it and return to my DNFing ways. That I might
use some blister problem, stomach issue, or just
'power failure" on the nighttime climbs as an
excuse for not making the grade. Would that
ruin the perfect family vacation?
In the end, I did experience some of those
things, and a few anxious moments where I
thought I was behind the cutoff curve, only to re-
alize it was fuzzy math and I was fine. But the lure
of that much-anticipated finish line reunion with
my daughter was stronger than all of that. Not to
mention the accumulated quiet confidence that
neither this distance nor this course were beyond
my reach. I may only have a first gear left these
days as a runner, but I'm a suryivor, I'm a finisher,
and mountain races are what I do. They're what
I've Learned to do. And Mihiret heloed me find
that finishing spirit. strange as it sounds.
This year's race was as tough and beauti-
ful as ever. The abundant wildflowers in the
meadows-brilliant purples and yellows-were
at their peak. In one clearing, the yellows in the
bright afternoon sun were so vivid and dense, I
thought I was either in a Van Gogh painting or
maybe Dorothy entering Oz.
!!ith this year's finish, I've evened the score -
three finishes/three DNFs with Bighorn, not to
mention upping my l0Gmiler success rate to a
somewhat less shameful five for eleven fiom the
dismal one for seven where it stood tvvo yea$
ago. What gives with this sudden streak of finish-
es, I can't help but wonder-am I faster and fitter
at 51, or am I still on a high as a new father, more
relaxed, more confident. less anxious about fail-
ure? Maybe all I really needed was a good luck
charm in the form of a bubbly little girl with an
irresistible dimpled smile to get me through the
tough times out there and not a pep talk fiom
a sports psychologist (whose advice for mental
vicious cycle of suffering and low self-confidence
in racing and life has given way to a more virtu-
ous one, and just hope it continues.
There are times when most of us feel it helps
to run for something larger than ourselves. For
some it's a cause or a charity. Or a recently de-
parted fiiend or loved one. Or we throw our-
selves into a run to just to get out of a funk f?om
our work or family lives. Maybe we need that
higher calling sometimes because we know how
self-indulgent and referential these events are.
How much they isolate us from those closest
to us even as they bring us closer to others we
encounter through the sport and on the trails.
And that's true no matter how fulfilling and
even lifedefining we feel our time on the trails
is. Perhaps we feel more complete, more whole.
when we can bridge the distance between the
sport that enriches but isolates us, and the larger
social fabric of our lives: the family and friends
who can't quite fathom our strange attraction
to multi-hour and multiday outings in the for
ests and mountains. The moments may be rare
when these tvvo aspects of our being meet, wher-
they touch each other rather than pulling apar.
but when they do come together, it's nothin:
short ofglorious. I
