Preliminary results for top 10 men and women New River Trail 50k, Fries, VA 10/9/2010


Wow!
A ton of life energy was exposed and shared today during the 3rd running of the New River Trail 50k in Fries, VA! We had 130 finishers all under the 7-hour time limit! Congratulations to you all! And a million thanks to our many selfless and energetic volunteers and partners at VA State Parks…it takes a real team effort to create this event.

Twenty four year old Kate Brun set a new CR at 3:49:15, Jenny Anderson followed as runner up meeting her personal goal of sub 4:00 with 3:59:0 and Melissa Ball chased her close with 3:59:42. All 3 women bettered Jenny’s 2009 CR!
On the guy’s side, Chris Motta, 26 led the pack with a 3:33:36 win, with Doug Covington, 41 at 3:39:47 and Dwight Shuler, 46 was next.

As I write, I will keep this post brief, as I am almost hallucinating with being tired and with celebration of what seems like a very successful run for many folks. George and I are staying in Fries again tonight and I am still w/o cell reception or Internet access. If this post goes up this evening, it is because I have pirated Internet access from somewhere in Galax where I am soon to visit in order to seek out some wine.

At this point I have no cell reception and expect that if in years past folks will be inquiring about left items and un-collected drop bags. The staff of New River Trail State Park has these items that were left on course or at S/F and tomorrow evening when I post here again I shall share “lost item fetching” details.

For now here are the unofficial results through the 10th woman. If the format is funky, I apologize; full results will be posted by 8pm Sunday 10/10 on www.ncnr.org/nrt50k.html. I will be submitting a race report and results ASAP for publication in the next possible edition of www.ultrarunning.org
