We had an Impressive showing by our winners Matt Novakovich finishing in 1:04:18 with Cary Grumelot right on his heels. We haven’t had that close a finish since, like, ever. Sheryl Loan won it for the women at 1:17:09, 35 seconds faster than the second place woman Danelle Winn at 1:17:44.

Here are the rest of the results, with the splits a little funky. Not all the run times were posted for a few reasons. One of the most basic, which we will think through for next year is placement of the numbers in your body. We could not see them and folks were bombing through the run finish, so we let it go. Some of the numbers were on jackets tied around waists, some on front, back and even a few were stuffed in pockets squashed in little balls. We have all the timing done manually, there is no electric where we are so it is all done the old fashioned way by 1 person timing, the other calling numbers, written on a sheet and I get to match the two later. So, folks, if your splits are important to you, please make sure you have your number visible. To me, the final time is the most important where we will send someone chasing you to get the number (plus we have that convenient uphill). So if you have suggestions, please let us know. A few people have already given us some great thoughts, like tattooing a permanent number on your forehead. I said it wouldn’t work because you have to wear a helmet for the ride.
