Our beloved coach is on vacation until July 9
Coming Western States 100 24-25 June, 2006
The annual trek across the Sierras will again be held the last weekend in June, and many CHIPS will be taking on this incredible challenge.
High Dunger John Blue will continue to lead the herd with full support from Eric Skaden, Mark Lantz, John Nichols, Grant Carboni and James Yee to note just some of the club men’s highlights. On the women’s side, Rena Schumann, Karyn Hoffman, and Becky Johnson certainly “highlight” the experienced WS100 perspective and that of the first-timer.
Best of experiences to all our BISON on this demanding course.
Visiting South Africa for Comrades Marathon, 16 June
Questionably called a “marathon,” the Comrades course varies in distance depending on the direction which alternates each year. This year is an “uphill” direction, starting in Durban and finishing in Pietermaritzberg, and thus the distance is “only” 54 miles. Heading this group is three time finishers, Christine Iwahashi and Sharon Lindeque and they are joined by Mary Coordt, Myra Rhodes and Lilian Shek, all looking for their “first finish” in this grueling road “race.” On the men’s side, Club founder, Abe Underwood (who still holds the club’s master’s 50 mile record at 6:09) is coming to take on this challenge and lead the club’s other runners including Dennis Scott (two time finisher), Lee Rhodes, and part-time Chips, David Wright and Mike Talbert (one time finisher there).
After the run, most of the travelers will spend time on safari in Tanzania and then enjoy a further layover in London before returning to their homes on 1 July.
