2013 TARC Spring Classic 50k – Danielle Triffitt

Apr 302013
 
2013 TARC Spring Classic 50k - Danielle Triffitt

by Danielle Triffitt – The day dawned bright, with fog rising from the treetops and a full moon hanging low in the sky as we sped along the highway towards Weston. I had gotten up early enough to have time to heat my ankle, stretch and roll, oh, and have that necessary cup of coffee too Sam was still asleep when we passed off the baby monitor to Irene (thank you Grammie and Grampie for watching Sam all day while we ran and played!), and we got underway smoothly enough. We arrived early, getting a prime parking spot, shivering in [READ MORE]

Traprock 50k – Ian Parlin

Traprock 50k - Ian Parlin

I think it’s good to use shorter races as training runs for longer races, although I’m not sure when 50k became a shorter race. The Traprock 50k certainly didn’t feel like a short race on the day. Participating in races is a good way to gauge your level of fitness and it also helps you prepare for running with others – whether you’re taking it competitively or not, it’s a different experience running with others in a race compared to a training run. You also get the opportunity to test out your fueling strategy and practice with aid stations, something [READ MORE]

Merrimack River 10 Miler – Kevin Robinson

Apr 252013
 

by Kevin Robinson – April 13th I showed up for the Merrimack Riva 10 miler with very low expectations. I was not what one would say “tuned up” or even semi trained. All because of low running volume in the last month or so. Last year I ran a great race race here and finished quite strong with a 1:36  (1:35:53). This year I am a little bit lighter (about 4 lbs) but have not had many long runs so I felt I would be OK with at least a 1:40, but kinda dreamed about having a fantastic above normal [READ MORE]

2013 Bradbury Blizzard – Ian Parlin

2013 Bradbury Blizzard - Ian Parlin

by Ian Parlin – My Blizzard began on Saturday morning when I met Ryan at the park to scope out the trails for Sunday’s race. Due to variable snow conditions over the past few years we’ve had to change up the race courses on short notice before each race in order to take advantage of the best conditions. We’ve finally got enough snow to work with on all of the trails so Ryan decided it was a good time to return to the West Side of the Brad and came up with an ass-kicking course that is similar to the [READ MORE]

2013 Bradbury Blizzard - Jamie Anderson

by Jamie Anderson – First off, big thanks to Ryan and Ian for organizing a fantastic series and also a big thanks to Mindy and Val who timed every race in the cold, as well as the other volunteers. This race series is a fantastic event and a lot of challenging fun, giving us something to look forward to each winter. I knew today was going to be tough on several fronts: Brutal course that was almost five miles on top of me not feeling well. Let me rewind a bit on that latter point. I’ve felt strangely sapped of [READ MORE]

2013 Bradbury Blizzard – Danielle Triffitt

Mar 032013
 

by Danielle Triffitt – A fun and fitting end to another season of snowshoe racing. It was a beautiful spring-like day, conditions were the best they’ve been all season, and the course was tough but fair. That’s not to say a lot of us weren’t cursing Ryan out while racing and after, but you know, snowshoe racing is just darn hard, so no matter what course you’re racing on it’s going to be tough! As I said to Doug prior to the race (his first time snowshoe racing, not to mention snowshoe racing), this is not the sort of thing [READ MORE]

7 Sisters Trail Race

9:00 am
Map to Military Road

An out-and-back roller coaster ride along the ridge line of the Mt. Holyoke Range on a single-track trail, with numerous scenic overlooks of the Pioneer Valley including views of the University of Massachusetts, Amherst College, Hampshire College, and the Town of Amherst, the Connecticut River and Northampton.

The course is extremely hilly with 3,700 feet of climb consisting of many steep hills, with hazardous footing in places due to the many sharp basalt rocks that comprise the elevated ridge of the Mt. Holyoke Range. There are five aid stations along the route at approximately 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 miles. We strongly urge you to carry your own water supply since it can be quite warm on race day.

Pack Monadnock 10 Miler

9:00 am
Map to Pack Monadnock 10 Miler

This course was designed to give runners a hill-climb challenge and to test strength and endurance. The race starts on Highland St near Wilton Lnydeborough High School. It runs uphill for the first mile. At the first mile marker, the course flattens out as it turns onto Sand Hill Road (gravel) and remains flat for about one half mile. There will be a rolling uphill grade as Sand Hill road ends and merges onto Davisville Road (paved) through mile three.
