Masters Chip John Nichols, normally known for ultra running, continues his incredible speedy running streak with a 34:49 run at the Paso Robles 10K on Sunday! (Results not up yet so we don't have any other Chips results.) This comes on the heels of a 16:42 at Banana Chase 5K, and a 59:55 at the Buffalo Stampede 10 miler! Wow! That's about all we can say.

Mark Lantz is USATF Masters Trail 100K Champion!
(Mark Murray does pretty well, too!)
From the PAUSATF website:
From Hollis Lenderking, PA/USATF Ultrarunning Chair
Mark Lantz (l) and Mark Murray (r) at the 2005 Californai International Marathon Pacific Association's Mark Lantz, 42, was crowned USATF National Masters champion at the Where's Waldo 100K in Oregon on August 18. Lantz, of Folsom, finished third overall among a field of 122 runners, in a time of 10:56:13, less than eight minutes behind the overall winner. The race is conducted annually along single-track mountain trail starting at the Willamette Pass 70 miles east of Eugene, and was serving for the first time as the USA Masters Trail 100K championship.
Two-time defending PA Ultrarunner of the Year Beverly Anderson-Abbs, 43, of Red Bluff, was the runner-up in the women's race, finishing just behind Lantz in 11:09:08 (fourth in overall field).
Lantz was thrilled with his win.
"I was especially proud of the run since I lost 40 minutes because of course [-marking] tampering by some mean hikers."
As a result of this increasingly common problem plaguing backcountry ultras, Lantz was unsure of his location on the course.
"I caught Bev and [PA/USATF runner and third-place USATF] Mark Murray up
the last climb, as Mark explained where I was and told me to put the
hammer down. It was my best performance, period," Lantz exclaimed, "and
that course is soft, shaded, and just a blast to run." Mark Murray finished fifth overall, fourth in the USATF masters men's division and seventh overall(11:15:46).

Running Shoe Recycling Drop-Off at Buffalo Stampede Race, Sept. 9th
Dear Chips,
Any of you CHIPS out there that have old running shoes, tennis shoes, or sneakers that have been piling up, please bring them to the Buffalo Stampede race this Sunday, Sept. 9th. Molly Hitchings, a CHIPS family member, manages an athletic shoe recycling program with McClatchy HS classmates, known as “the Sole Patrol”, and they will be collecting your old shoes at the race
What To Bring:
Relatively clean and dry adult size and kid size running shoes, tennis shoes, or sneakers. Please tie the pairs of shoes together so that we can more easily and quickly sort them.
What Not To Bring:
No dress shoes, boots, flip-flops, sandals, hiking boots, or kids’ shoes with lights. No wet or muddy shoes — they cause the other shoes to get moldy.
What Will Happen With Your Old Shoes:
The Sole Patrol will sort the shoes, and donate the clean, re-usable shoes to local organizations that will provide them to homeless and needy people. The shoes that are not reusable will be shipped to a Nike recycling facility via Nike’s Re-Use a Shoe Program. Those shoes will be ground up and used to make athletic surfaces, including tracks, weight room flooring and playground surfaces. If you have any questions, send an email to Molly Hitchings at mollyhitch@sbcglobal.net
Thanks for your support!

Today’s winner will be receiving a new car! Well, at least some new car windows and probably a new wallet to replace the ones stolen and/or damaged by thieves. :( (Sorry John!)

July 4th Free Five Miler
The 31st running of the Fourth of July Free Five-Miler went off with a bang Wednesday, shattering expectations for attendance. An estimated 800 to 1000 runners packed the River Park neighborhood for a brisk run on that fast, shady course. Aside from a few bugs--running short on bottled water and the sprinklers running on us the entire time--everything went as smoothly as could be expected.
Our major sponsor and partner this year was Sac Fit, and Executive Director Ken Press was there pitching in--including making a much needed last minute dash to the store for more bottled water.
We were also generously supported by Fleet Feet Racing, City Councilman Steve Cohn, and Assemblyman Dave Jones.
Novice race directors Ed Randolph and John Blue worked out last minute details on the fly and a host of Chips (including, but not limited to, Mark Lantz, John Nichols, Erik Skaden, Grant Carboni and Tony Lafferty) managed the course marshal efforts. Rena Schumann, Gina Adams, and Merie Paddeck ably ran the Chips booth. Tony Smith and Mario Sanchez did a bit of everything, as usual. Youth Chips and Youth Chips parents ran the aid station, hosted by former Chip Carl Dahl. (And thanks Carl for helping clean up and haul the aid station back to the finish line!) AJ Underwood took race photos (Which we'll post someday) and stepped up to start the race when John realized he didn't have a stop watch for the start.
The massive shopping and donation collection effort was provided by Jenny Hitchings who learned her car could carry a thousand pounds of water. And thanks to Dennis Scott for coming out the day before and touching up the mile marks, and to Lloyd Levine for leafleting his neighbors to alert them about an aid station we decided to move elsewhere. There were other Chips pitching in that I don't have names for, including a Chipette who did a significant amount of work at the finish line aid station. (Help!)
A special thanks to the FrontRunners for coming out and helping with registration and setting up the finish line aid station.
Thanks to all this years donors, including: Safeway, Trader Joes, Save Mart, Costco, and the 1011 12th Street Espresso Bar.
Oh! And there are Results:
Top (and only) Wheelchair Athlete finished in 24:34. He got away before I could get his name! (Who was that masked man?)

New World Records….
27 June…(Courtesy of Race Results Weekly)
Haile Gebrselassie added two more world records to his illustrious collection at the Golden Spike Grand Prix tonight in Ostrava, Czech Republic.Knocking off consistent 67 to 68 second laps, the 23-year-old Ethiopian set a new mark in the one hour run, covering 21,285 meters over the course of 60 minutes to break the previous best, 21,101m, set by Mexican Arturo Barrios in La Fléche, France, on March 30, 1991.
"Today is just a fantastic day," said a beaming Gebrselassie, who said he knew just beyond the half-way point that the record would fall.
En route, the two-time Olympic 10,000m champion also broke the world record for 20,000m, covering 50 laps in 56:25.98, well within the previous 56:55.6 also set by Barrios.
MeseretDefar produced a staggering 14:16.63 world record in Oslo, Defar returns to action again in the 5000 at Ostrava. Although the 23-year-old Olympic champion hasn't promised to take her record down even further, she hasn't fully dismissed the possibility either. Defar pulled a Kenyan woman to a 14:22, which was also under Defar’s previous WR of 14:24 at the Oslo meet.
On the HOME FRONT….Shriner’s8k hosts solid herd of Buffalo….

Western States 100, Saturday…and Sunday 23-24 June…
Running clearly the best executed effort to date, Chip Erik Skaden moved through several of the wanna-be-elites in the miles from 49 to 85 to once again claim second overall and a new PR of 16:36 on this very tough course. Chip John Nichols turned in perhaps the best run of his long running resume for a just over 20 hour finish. IMPRESSIVE. Chip Mark Lantz earned the “hero of the day” award for toughing it out through some very frustrating side issues to once again finish “under 24 hours.” Jeffrey Barbier cruised in around 26 hours with Grant Carboni having a bit of breathing room under that 30 hour level. Steve Harrold and Christine Flaherty easily beat that final cutoff line too. Also in the finisher group at 27:30 territory was a “Nick Ham” who is a Stockport Harrier from our sister club near Manchester !!! Congratulations Nick and ALL WS 100 finishers and those who did not finish but took that incredible challenge as far as possible “on the day.”Upcoming….This one is fun in a sadistic kind of way, and you can experience the first 4 miles of the Western States 100 without having to do the remaining 96…and enjoy a great view from the top of the tram line…

Which Chip has the fastest marathon time so far in 2007?
Mark Murray sez:
Congratulations to Kirsten Schneider who ran 2:55:15 this morning at Grandma’s, to move atop the Chips leader board for the year in the marathon. Her time was less than a minute faster than Mary Coordt’s 2:55:40 at Napa, and Ed Randolph’s 2:56:09 at Boston.
I believe that is a PR for Kirsten, who ran 2:57:23 at the CIM. Something tells me that the crowd of folks looking to go under 2:50 at CIM this year just got bigger.

July 4th Five-Miler!
The Buffalo Chips have taken over the job of organizing the 4th of July 5 Miler. This is a free race in River Park that has been a great community event for years. Since it is a free race we are going to keep things very simple. However, we still need volunteers to help with set up, aid stations, and course monitoring.
Volunteering for this race will be a great way to spend a short amount of time 4th of July morning. We need some people to help during the race itself, but if you want to run the race we can use your help before and after.
Please email Ed Randolph if you can help.
Thanks!
