July 12 6:00 am
Of the 9 PRR members who “won” the Knee Knacker lottery, 7 survived the training to make it to race day. Susan, Bill, Terry, Jim (who survived the training by not doing it!), Sukhi, Jon F, and Henry hit the trails for the steep start to the Knee Knacker 50km.
Only slightly later Dave, Jackie, Sally, Paul, Lan, Barb and John - until he left to sweep half of the course - were busy setting up the Cypress Bowl aid station. The Skyline station - Marco, Mike, Nicki, Jess and Nelson - with thanks to Rik who brought coffee and Maurice and Deanna who showed up to cheer & assist - weren’t on duty until the civilized hour of 8 am. And of course Bettie was everywhere she could be - taking pictures.
Enough about the volunteers. Here’s how our stars performed in the heat.
Bill 6:04:10 (personal best!)
Susan 6:16:25 (4th woman, first in her division!)
Terry 7:07:32
Sukhi 7:32:33
Jim 7:32:37
Jon 8:25:04
Henry - we have photograpic eveidence of Henry crossing the finish - but nothing in the results!
Congratulations to all of you.
