Old Goat 50 Mile Trail Race

Big congratulations to Wendy, Todd and Andrew of the SoCal DayBreakers for completing the Old Goat 50.  It is located in the Trabuco region of the Cleveland National Forest and is one of the hardest 50 milers in the country with 13,000 feet of elevation gain.  Henry was a volunteer for the race.  This was a major step for Wendy in her pursuit to do her first 100 mile race.  She did the race in 11:20, a very good time.

Chimera 100K

Wendy did an amazing job in less than optimal conditions. Saturday was really horrific! Reports of 7 to 7.5 inches of rain in that area just for that day. The race was cancelled at about 1 PM when the Forest Service closed the roads to the peaks as they were washing away; additionally the high winds were literally blowing the Aid Stations apart.

Wendy had a great attitude and was READY to face the rain, the mud, the wind and whatever else mother nature had to offer that day.

Watch out San Diego 100--here she comes

Valerie came in at 27:50 PR (almost completely flat course! it was awesome!). She finished in the top 100 finishers and got a pumpkin.
