Our smiles showed  how much fun we were having!  See all the photos.  Unfortunately, our photographer showed everyone but herself--Lori.  Thanks

The Passing of James

McCaughley, 43, a pilot from Santa Paula, was killed along with a friend on Sunday in an airplane crash.

James McCaughley, 43, a pilot from Santa Paula took off for a long journey last Sunday.  

Dear Trail Runners,

JAMES RAN WITH US “THE TRAIL RUNNERS CLUB” FOR A FEW YEARS, A FEW YEARS AGO.  HE WAS A STRONG RUNNER, KNOWLEDGEABLE MOTOR CYCLE RIDER, AN EXCELLENT AIRPLANE PILOT AND HE RACED AUTOS AS WELL.  EVERYONE LIKED HIM AND RECOGNIZED HIM DOING A “WHEELIE” ON HIS MOTORCYCLE COMING DOWN MULHOLLAND WHEN WE WERE HAVING POST RUN REFRESHMENTS.  HE DID “FLY-OVER’S” WHEN  WE WERE RUNNING IN THE HILLS AND FLEW LOW AT TIMES SO WE COULD RECOGNIZE HIM FROM HIS BRIGHT BLUE EYES AND A BIG SMILE (WITH SHORTER HAIR THAN THE PHOTO).

Here's me and my partner being interviewed by EverymanTri in Boulder.  Don't make fun of me I'm fully aware of what a dork I am.

The New Running Schedule is Woo Woo!

Submitted by ernie on Wed, 06/15/2011 - 9:43pm

I am pretty excited about the schedule for the rest of this year.  In addition to our old favorite runs, the Bienveneda/Upper Rustic Canyon will be a treat in July 17th.  Then Yosemite to Clouds Rest in September will also be heaven.  Then we will go to Pasadena to run up Echo Mt. and Lowe Mt. in October 9th--driving time is less than 45 minutes to the trail head.  Then you will have the run from our Chantry Flats to Mt. Zion (10 miles) OR Chantry Flats to Mt Wilson (15 miles) on Nov.13.   The club loved this identical trip earlier this year.  Finally, on December 4th, we will discover the Boney Mountains from the Mt. Sierra Vista with spectacular vistas.  It will be great. 

Mark your calendars,

Ernie

Yosemite to Clouds Rest

Sept. 23-25

From the pinnacle of Yosemite in Clouds Rest, you cannot see it from L.A.—don’t miss it.  Make your reservations ASAP—Scalpers have been grabbing up some Yosemite reservations for campsites to resell on Craigslist.  Lean against your cattle-prod, and jump to action.

Santa Cruz Island 2011

Submitted by ernie on Fri, 04/15/2011 - 3:19pm

On April 9, 2011, we had a ball at the island.  The weather was perfect, the run was great, and the downtime after lunch with some bubbly was very relaxing.  See some of the photos.

The Elite Eight Run In The Mud

Submitted by ernie on Sun, 03/27/2011 - 5:11pm

I knew the radar loops in the weather forecasts should have been fine for Sunday morning.  On the drive to La Jolla Valley, this had a bit more dampness on the windshield than I hoped, but it's OK.  We had a small bunch of TRC runners (Elite Eight), but it was quickly apparent that this morning was going to be glorious, and the mud-sliding was a kick.  At least we didn't get muddy above the neck.  Thanks for the marking Ann.

You Might Want to Reread The "Magic" Article

Submitted by ernie on Mon, 02/21/2011 - 4:25pm

Michael and Ann competed in the Bandit Races last Sunday.  Michael ran the 50k in 2nd Place Overall--very amazing.  Ann was the 2nd woman in the 30k Bandit Trail Run.  Maybe we should re-read their "Magic" article in their training regimens.

Post Results:  Rob also showed his strong 30k.  His new training diet (without potato chips) is already resulting a PR.

No Magic To Get Faster

Ann AKA Rocky
For the last several years, both Michael and Ann have dramatically improved their trail racing.  We other mortals will probably not duplicate Michael's nor Ann's regimen, but maybe we might improve our training techniques somewhat.
 
Thanks for divulging your secrets...
