Mount Marathon Race, 2009, 1:41 Short-Term Running Goals: To post faster times in this summer's mountain races plus finish a half marathon at at the end of the summer. Would like to improve my Mt.

Ran the Mount Marathon Race, one of the most grueling and popular mountain races in Alaska with 3,022 elevation gain in 1.5 miles. Steep 40-60 percent grades, treacherous footing, scree, shale and downhill STEEP and slick. Came in smack in the middle of the women's division. My goal had been 1:40 so I was pretty much on target. Fell three times on the way down, finished bloody and filthy and incredibly happy.
Temps were in the 80s and most of us Alaskans wilted. The lead women's and men's racers both were treated for dehydration (there are no aid stations along the trail and most prefer not to pack water due to extra weight), and the men's leader was unconscious at the hospital for four hours--brutal! I packed Shot Bloks in her running shorts pockets and popped one every 30 minutes. Man, what a difference that made! Still, I collapsed over the finish line. The woman in front of me threw up. It was that kind of day.
Total mountain race distance: 3.5 miles
Hope to cut my time down to 1:20 next year. |

| Medium 8.5 minute miles on the track. (Note: I go to bed late in the summer 'cause this is Alaska and it's light most of the night and I love, love, love to take off hiking around 9 p.m. and get back around midnight. Standing up on top of a mountain in that lavendar twilight is like nothing else.) |

| Nine miles over a rough mountain trail, lots of killer hills (one a mile long), upraised roots, fallen trees, mud, sharp rocks. Steady pace but struggled the last two miles. Saw a small black bear scamper off the trail on the way back--scary but kind of neat. Great run, no one else around; I was all alone after the mile marker. |

| Eight miles, medium-fast pace, felt great the whole way. Anchorage has almost 200 miles of paved bike trails, most away from the road, and it's a perfect place to run in town without really seeing much of town. Did see a scrawny teenage moose. |

Ran the Knoya Ridge Mountain Race this morning. The race is only to the top only; then we had to run back down again on our own. Rainy weather, lots of rolling hills for the first half, and then we hit the LONG and slow climb to the peak.
Sad news: A 22-year-old runner with a pre-existing heart condition collapsed and died about 400 feet from the finish. It was TERRIBLE. We were all crying as we stood around and waited for the helicopter to deliver his body back to his family. A doctor and nurse who had been running the race administered CPR but couldn't revive him. I can't begin to tell you the surreal feeling of standing of top of a mountain in the middle of nowhwere, the clouds rolling in and all that beauty, and seeing someone's body covered with racers' windbreakers waiting for the helicopter. It was stark and tragic and oh-so-silent. Really makes you respect the wildnerness, and the mountain, and the miracle of our beating hearts.
The race was basically called off after that. My unoffical time was 68 minutes. You can read more about the event at: http://www.adn.com/running/story/869611.html

I am SO stoked! I placed 7th in the women's division of today's race. Too cool! The race was 4.0 miles, with the first two miles climbing up the Arctic Valley ski slopes, which meant we peaked one mountain, ran down and peaked another. Whew! The wind was so strong it almost knocked me over. Downhill was treacherous at the top and then sloped out so that I was able to run full-blast the last mile. Felt awesome.
The cool thing is that I am getting FASTER! My first mountain race I was in the front of the back of the pack; the second race I was in the middle of the pack; the third I was in the front of the middle of the pack. And today I was in the middle of the lead pack (I'm feeling it right now, too).
In two weeks I'm jumping over to pavement for the Skinny Raven 1/2 marathon. Uh-oh. |

The rain stopped! Great run along the beach and then up along the highway, which wasn't as great but the way back offered killer views of the bay and mountains. Tide was coming in, the waves rocking hard. Could hear the harbor seals crying from their supper when I passed the SeaLife Center..

Ran up to the top of Flattop Mountain and back down again, about 2,000 foot elevation gain, was about 10:30 p.m. and moon was just starting to come up over the surrounding peaks. It was SO beautiful. I need to get a camera and start posting some of these scenes. Uphill felt good, downhill was a bit slick in places and was starting to get dark (light is slowly leaving here in Alaska, it's light until about 11:30 or so and I think we're losing about three minutes a day--yikes!). |

| Oh man, did beginning yoga class, thought: I'm in good shape, how hard can this be? Dear, dear me--I was shaking at the end of 35 minutes, my muscles like jelly plus I worked up quite a sweat and breathing hard too. Yoga is NOT for wimps. Really stretched out my legs and torso and could feel the thigh work--ouch! |

| Oh man, ran in the rain and got lost at Kincaid, over 60k of interlocking wooded trails, and all are HILLY. I started off strong, running fast speed up and down the hills and slower on the rare flat stretches. Only intended to do 4.5 but ended up doing 7.5 because I kept somehow running in the wrong direction (most of the trails aren't marked). I almost sobbed when I finally found the trailhead leading to where I was parked, I was that tired. Good run though, extra distance forced me to really push it. |

| Ran Wolverine Peak but had to turn around at the false summit due to rain and low cloud coverage (no way to see the bears, ha, ha). Four miles up to about 3,000 elevation. Rained the whole way but I stayed warm in my Nike thermal running jacket, really great pullover, has sleeves that convert to mittens for high elevation. Was soaking wet but still warm, even in high winds and 50 degree temps. Nice run. |

Ran trails from Indian Valley to Flattop through the Chugach Mountains trail. The first five miles up hill from sea level to 3,500 feet elevation and then we were in the valley, no one else around, utterly silent and beautiful with the beginning of fall colors. Last 7 miles mostly downhill, with one killer hill at the very end. Trail rough with jutted rock and very thick alders in places but worth every minute. Saw mountain goats, moose and a huge flock of ptarmigan.

Watched the sunset over the inlet from the top, and it was only about 9:30 p.m. Where has the summer gone? We're losing about five minutes of light a day, sigh, sigh. Still, a nice run. There's nothing like being on a mountain at twilight. |

| Charged by a moose toward the end of the run--geez, talk about scary. I seriously almost wet my pants. I crested a hill and there was a moose and her calf on the side of the trail, so I grabbed the dog's leash, moved off to the side and waited. They started to walk away. And then, without warning, the mother turned and charged right at us. My fierce dog booked for the woods and I flew behind a tree. The moose stopped so close I could feel its breath on my leg. Talk about a rush. Had to jog the last mile--my legs were shaking. The moose on that trail are usually laidback. We pass by them ALL the time and it's never a big deal. Someone must have startled them before us, or maybe a dog went after them earlier, who knows. Running can be dangerous I guess. |

| Ugh, five miles hard and heavy, with some really tough hills (could taste my burrito from lunch at one point, it was that bad). Suffered through, felt great afterward. |

Medium-paced trail run. Planned on going eight but a moose with a HUGE rack wouldn't budge from the trail so I had to turn around (oh shucks) and head back early. |

| Ran up Flattop and down the other side and then powerhiked up Peak 2 and down again, and then ran back up Flattop plus tacked on more mileage along Powerline Pass Trail. Beautiful day, sun was shining and oh, the autumn colors! The view of the Pass from Peak 2 was so awesome I could barely stand it-mountains as far as I could see, everything orange and red and yellow, and best of all, no one else around. |

| Six miles on the Potter Trail, footing kind of bad in places where leaves hid roots and rocks but it added to the thrill. Saw two moose on the way and another buck by McHugh Creek, probably the same one we saw a few days ago. Misjudged the time of sunset (we're losing over 5 minutes of light a day) and had to book the last two miles. Watched the sunset over the inlet through the trees and got back to the car right before dark. GREAT run. |
