Quick to the start slow to the finish

This trail run was my 6^th Grand Tree race this year and completing this run would enable me to qualify to apply for the Nipmuck Trial Marathon 2010. It’s sort of an unusual approach to qualify for a race but it’s been fun “playing the game”. After going to Nipmuck earlier this year as a spectator and trail bandit, I decided that’s a must do race.

Smuttynose Half Marathon

There was an Arsenault on the age group winners list at this years Smuttynose Half Marathon that was held at Hampton, NH on October 4th, 2009. How can that be so, when the runner we know with that name is still recovering from knee surgery? The answer is it was Becky, Kerry’s sister who showed that running must be in the Arsenault gene’s. Also winning her age group at the same race was Scoobie.

Congratulations ladies!

Partially around the Loop

I have to admit that I was nervous to join this run. Because my pace is slowest of the group and it was going to be wicked hot. Lots of talk of this “Spring Loop” coarse created some excitement for me to get involved. We made some plans and were sure I would be joining Ultra for a partial of the Loop.

We got to the trailhead a little early so we headed out in the car to find the “Full Loopers” We found them at a road crossing and so we decided to join them for a run thru Dean’s Ravine. A beautiful fern canyon with cascading waterfalls and huge hemlock trees. This was a nice warm-up run for what’s to come. Read more

It’s only temporary

As a junior in high school a physics teacher once asked the class which was heavier; a ton of lead or a ton of feathers. I’m not going to admit what my first guess was but strangely enough I remembered being asked that question this past weekend while running the Vermont 100 Miler. The Vermont race is often described as ‘an easy one hundred’. The comment is almost a daft as thinking there is a difference in weight between a ton of different materials! Read more

Wick-er Warmup Towel

How many times have you finished a long race you’ve wanted freshen up and wipe the sweat away from many hours effort, or needed to dry off after washing the crud from your tired body that has congealed with that sweat, only to remember you didn’t bring a towel! Read more
