Jared Campbell won Plain, Rob Krar and Nikki Kimball won Run Rabbit Run, Bob Shebest and Becky Kirschenmann (2ndOA) won Pine to Palm, Karl Schneiter and Bev Abbs won Headlands (with Alan finishing a close 15 min behind his wife), and Kilian and Emelie winning TheRut. I’m sure there were more. How’d you do???

And an equally exciting event Jenny Simpson and Jordan McNamara won the Fifth Avenue Mile in 4:19 and 3:51 respectively. Video here.  Pics here.  Wow!

NUC: One could call the Colombian women’s cycling team kit risqué. But is it?

Video: Here’s the course for the World Mountain Running Championships in Massa Italy. It goes up and up, through an old town, up and up some more, through a mountain, and up and up some more, through a marble quarry, then up and up some more. Here’s a great photo gallery from the event.

Here’s my review of a small, cheap, and light headlamp. One problem: It doesn’t turn on and off very well.
