Peter Maksimow wrapped up winning the Pikes Peak Winter Series with another overall win, this time in the 20k race with a 3:27 cushion over 2nd place in 1:15:39. Peter won the series by an awesome 11:55, taking 1st place in all 4 races. Perhaps part of is incentive to do so well was his newest sponsor being a local brewery, The Black Fox Brewing Company. Not sure how many free pints he gets for the series title but I hope they hook him up! Dwight Shuler was 17th OA at the Mount Mitchell Challenge which again lived up to it's name, with epic cold and blustery race day conditions. DeWayne Satterfield grabbed 2nd OA at Mount Cheaha 50k and Eric Charette was 6th OA in 4:54:05. Lainie Callahan was the 2nd female at the Pony Express 50 mile in 7:44. Brendon Mahoney won the Seqouoia 10k trail race Saturday in 44:48, barely missing the course record.
Amy Lane kept up her winning ways in snowshoe racing. On Sunday she won the Moody Springs 5.7 miler in a time of 1:06. At the New England 10 Mile Road Championships (DH Jones 10 Miler) in Amherst, MA we had Jim Johnson in 20th overall – 54:48 (5:28 pace), Kevin Tilton in 59th overall – 57:45 (5:47 pace), and Todd Walker placing 154th overall – 1:04:15 (6:26 pace).
