Lake Merritt – 6 hr run
Pacific Coast Trail Runs puts on a lot of really good races that cover distances from 10K to 50K usually. They also have a couple of timed events, of which the Lake Merritt half-day is one. For this event, there is a six hour and a twelve hour event. Both involve running around Lake Merritt … Continue reading
R.U.T.E. 2009
We put together a tri-club team for this years 5 man, 65 mile relay. Everyone was training for something different, so we went in with the attitude that we’d just give it a solid go and that would be that. Well, that plan went right out the window when Steve rounded the first corner out … Continue reading
Santa Barbara Duathlon (5K/30K/5K)
To be honest, I’m not super excited about the race, so this entry may be weak(er than usual). I’m sure both of you will be disappointed. What can I say, I was sick, it was cold, I did alright. First thing in the morning, I started the day off with a flat. Both wheels were … Continue reading
Semana Nautica – 15K (again)
This race is usually held on the 4th of July and this is the first year in the 54 years the race has been run, that it was not held on Independence Day. The GAP fires in Goleta made the air quality pretty bad a few weeks ago, so they had to postpone the race. … Continue reading

The whole family got together for … Continue reading
Pier to Peak – 1/2 Marathon
This race starts as the pier at the end of State Street in down town Santa Barbara and goes up to the top of La Cumbre Peak, the highest point in the county. I tried to keep goals reasonable since this was more of a kick-off for 9-Trails training and I have been going easy … Continue reading
Santa Barbara Duathlon – 5K/30K/5K
Holy crap I felt great doing this. I wanted to keep my heart rate low since I have a Marathon in one week, so I had a “just for fun” attitude. No pressure before the race so I was relaxed. The first 5K went well, keeping my HR between 155 and 160 pretty easily. I … Continue reading
Semana Nautica – 15K
Going in, I felt that my goals may have been a bit lofty, and talked myself out of believing that I had to break 1 hr. Then I ran into Fred (SB Tri Club president) at the start line and he managed to talk me back into trying to break 1 hr (pretty much in … Continue reading
Santa Cruz Mountains – 29K
Nice run! Felt great finishing. Two women kept me going fast. They’d beat me on the uphill, and I’d catch them on the down hill. Going in I figured for about a 2:45 run at best, but I thought this would be more difficult on the down hills. Not to say that the race was … Continue reading
