Mt Washington Road Race
Gorham, NH
19 June 2010
This year the Mt. Washington Road Race marked its 50th anniversary, served again for the selection of the US Mountain Running team, and saw an extraterrestrial new women’s course record from an Ethopian that had to borrow her running shoes at the last minute. CRC had a record turnout at the event, with a 40+ strong contingent including runners and volunteers. A bright sunny day graced the spectators and left comical tan lines on the runners’ skin and pain in their legs.
The CRC runners that braved the mountain got a full 7.6-mile-12% grade-4650 foot-vertical rise-serving of goodness to go. You can conquer this summit, but not without being brought down to your knees by the mountain. It will query your sense of worth at each painful step and leave you feeling absolutely empty.
CRC had another great race, with the men’s open team taking home a 5th place award, which qualifies the team for next year’s race, and the women’s team coming in an impressive 6th, just 5 minutes short of a waiver (women, CRC will get this next year). Congratulations to all the finishers on a superb effort and a great accomplishment. As many of you noted, this race can be mentally tougher than a marathon.
This year CRC also had the largest volunteer turnout ever at the race. A special thank you goes out to Jay Salony (very special thank you for coordinating the rides to the top, no easy task, even for a consultant), Meredith Stanford, Rachel Kalinsky, Javier Cheung, Katie Turck, Kaitlin Anelauskas, Bayen Miller (a special thanks for coordinating a great cookout), Kayle Williams, Lisetta Shah, Michele Menzies, Ting-Hsu Chen, Daniel Goldberg & Frida, Edu Morales, Geoff Philbrick, Hugh Hallawell, Johnny Sadoff, Megan Foley, Alett Meckler, Emily McCloskey, Justin Verdirame, and David Liquori’s wife.
