Skirt Chaser Results here

One second faster than last year, ran a 17:47, looks like a break out season is on the cusp! The Skirt Chaser course is rough and tough, tough but fair. Felt pretty decent during the run, I have yet to look at my splits, figure it doesn’t really matter since the course basically has you run up a hill, down a hill, run up another hill, then back down a hill for a finish. The course was changed from 2008, I think they wanted to relieve some of the congestation that occured last year when the runners made a U turn and the race had runners coming on both sides, thus a good change, course difficulty was the same though.

I figured Simon Cheprot would make an appearance but his friend Kennet Kiptoo was there. I’m starting to wonder if three minutes is too big of a gap for the men? I wonder what the current series is with regards to a male or female winning. I’m too lazy to do that much research on a Sunday evening, but for a male to win they are going to have to go well below sub 15.

Also, surprised at the lack of the competition on the men’s side. When a race has 1k runners and I’m coming in third for the men, that tells you something, it doesn’t tell you that I am fast or getting faster it just says that not too many fast runners showed up this year. Granted, last year I was 6th for the men, but I was thinking with the increased numbers of racers that I might be lucky to pull a top ten finish prior to the start of the race.

We also got meet up with Half-Fast after the race for some not so delicious Dale’s Pale Ale, so that was fun.
