Cle Elum Ridge 50k

The race went fantastic! The 2006 Cle Elum Ridge 50km trail run had 72 starters and 70 finishers, the weather was perfect for running, cool temps and only a few drizzles. You can see the results here and Glenn Tachiyama took some great photos; he really has a knack for catching people at their best while out on the trail. I have passed the race on to Chris and Marty Fagan and am really excited for all of the energy they have to keep this event going and to improve it as well. There is a lot of time and effort that goes into putting on an ultra and in the end it is always very rewarding to pull it off. The smiles and stories that the runners bring to the finish line are what make it all worth it.

This week I am trying to take time off, which is proving difficult. So I've taken to running errands on my bike, hitting a few extra yoga classes and getting things ready for the next segment of travel.

On Thursday I have an appointment to have my VO2 Max tested at Seattle Performance Medicine. Dr. Emily Cooper has been a very instrumental part in tailoring my training and helping me with nutrition. I am interested to see where I am at and to start making plans for next year's training.

Krissy,
Based on your performance at Waldo, you have to be right at the peak of fitness. Wish I could say the same. I am running again, and starting to pick up the mileage. What are your travel plans? Will you be in the NW much? Would you be interested in talking to a girls XC team about your running? Hope all is going well and look forward to catching up with you some time. Kendall
