Peak bagging in NC

Mountains 08/23 – 08/25

I Headed down to North Carolina for the U.S. Trail 10km championships and, as is usually the case, planned out some side trips along the way.

On Thursday Todd Callaghan joined me as we headed down to Charlotte and then drove 2+ hours to Mt Mitchell (the highest point in NC).  I’d been to Mitchell before but Todd hadn’t, no problem for me I mapped out some other high points nearby and a return trip to a HP is fine by me!  The rental car agency gave us a 2012 white Mustang; not exactly an off-road vehicle but it had some punch on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  Todd found us a station playing “classic rock” and we grooved to a lot of eighties tunes over the weekend.

Anyway, we arrived at Mt Mitchell around noon and walked the quarter mile of paved 80’ climb to the summit.  The views were okay, but there was a lot of haze and there were threatening clouds in the distance (we’d drive up through a heavy downpour).  We quickly visited the highest point east of the Mississippi and checked out the gift shop and museum before heading to our first run of the day.

It was a short drive from Mitchell to the parking area near “The Pinnacle’.  We ran about a quarter-mile on the Blue Ridge Parkway then headed off road up a nice herd path that took us to the summit. Todd took the lead on the climb and regretted his move as he used his face to clear the path of a dozen spider webs.  The round trip from 5,160’ to the 5,665’ summit took us 28:37.  We only spent a few minutes on the rocky peak, checking out views of Mt Mitchell.

We jumped back in the Mustang and a few minutes later we’d parked at the Green Knob overlook.  We had a short run up to the lookout tower on the top of the 5,080’ peak.  The trail was very narrow and twisted back and forth across the mountain side from 4,740’ on the parkway to the tree covered top.  The tower was nice, appeared to have been recently remodeled.  It had a nice catwalk around the cab but access was barred.  We only spent a moment on top taking pictures before retreating.  The round trip run took 15:34 (8:03 up & 7:31 down).

We had a longish drive after Green Knob, mixing it up with some driving on the Parkway then heading north to the border of Tennessee.  We parked at nearly the top of Roan Mountain and with 10’ of climb we were on the top of “Cloudland Mountain”.  It isn’t really recognized as a separate peak due to it not being much higher than the peaks around it.  There were ruins from an old Hotel on the top.  We just ran through as our goal was Roan High Knob.  We dropped a bit running along a nice easy section of the Appalachian trail, then had a little climb of a little over 100’ to the highest hut on the AT.  It was COVERED in flies; Todd mentioned “Amityville Horror” and it seemed appropriate.  We didn’t stay near the hut and zipped on up through the open woods to the 6,285’ summit rocks.  There wasn’t a view but the woods were interesting, we got a couple of pictures and headed back to the parking lot.  Our round trip took just under 20 minutes (19:33).

From Roan Mountain we descended to Carvers Gap (5,512’) and headed out for the longest run of the day.  It was sunny but we were nearly surrounded by rain showers.  Our goal was Grassy Ridge Bald which was the high point on the ridge and the entire run would be on a grassy bald (a wide open area with spectacular views).  We kept a steady pace on this run and maybe upped the tempo a bit after we heard some grumbles of thunder and saw a lightning strike in the distance.  The view was fantastic and the footy was mostly great.  We crossed over Round Bald (5,826’) and Jane Bald (5,807’) on the way to Grassy Ridge Bald (6,160’).  The two hundred foot drop/climb between Round Bald and Jane Bald seemed tougher on the way back.  We completed the round trip in 56:25 (29:41/26:44) and got back to the car before any real rain fell.  That concluded our peak bagging for day one and we headed to Linville Falls for some pizza and sleep.

I got up early on Friday morning and drove a couple of miles to Long Arm Mountain.  I arrived at the top a few minutes before sunrise.  The “mountain” is located in a small neighborhood with a house on either side of the high ground.  I quickly trotted up a dirt driveway into an open field that had a stone bench with a nice view of where the sun would soon rise.  The highest point (and the summit benchmark) was only a few feet into the woods.  I took a couple of pictures and quickly retreated making sure not to disturb anyone sleeping in the nearby homes.

After a quick snack at the hotel Todd and I headed over to the Linville Gorge to check out the falls therein.  We ran for about 20 minutes checking out a couple of photo ops and trying to not break too many laws prior to most people waking up.

From the Gorge we headed to Grandmother Mountain (4,680’) which we approached via a road on the north east side.  I think it would be quicker to drive up from the south west side.  There is a major road junction that isn’t shown on the topo but is on the Googlemaps (Roseboro road), I can’t vouch for how rough the road gets once you turn off of Roseboro but it does go to the top.  Anyway, we drove to the top via Leason Carroll Gragg Road and parked behind the water tower and hike the quarter mile to the summit.  The trail is tucked right behind the tower and seems to be well maintained (although narrow).  The top had some rocky outcrops from which we got great views of Grandfather Mountain.  All in all it was only a 40’ climb and took all of 10 minutes round trip.

We finished the day with a visit to Laurel Springs where we previewed the Continental Divide trail race which we’d be racing in the next day.  I added a couple of miles onto the end to get 84 minutes of easy running in.

I hadn’t plotted out any major climbs for after the Trail 10km championships, figuring I’d be pretty beat up from racing.  Todd and I did some online research and found that Stone Mountain wasn’t too far from the race site and it had some interesting trails along with a few streams for post-race soaking.

After the awards ceremony we drove from Laurel Springs to Stone Mountain.  The maps were less than ideal, Todd called them “cartoon maps”.  They had shadow relief but no topo information and it was hard to tell if the Stone Mountain Loop trail went around the Mountain (2,305’) or actually up and over the summit.  After checking out the trailhead we decided that the 4.5 mile (or so) loop would be fun, and almost certainly would take us over the summit.

We took the shortest route to the summit (clockwise on the loop trail).  The trail was great!  It was well maintained, smooth, and had a lot of stairs to climb.  We took it very easy, both of us had raced hard and this was just for “fun”.  We completed the 785’ of climb in 16:47, and took a short break on the top to check out the views.  The top reminded me a lot of Mt Monadnock with large expanses of smooth rock.  I would not want to venture out on that in wet weather.

The downhill running was a welcome relief and we wound around the northern end of the mountain.  There were some stairs to run down but not many and we took a couple of side trails to check out the waterfalls, a swimming hole, and a nice view of the mountain from a big field.  We chugged along and were back at the car in 37:00 for a round-trip of 53:47.

We had a nice long post-race soak in the East Roaring Brook River before making the 2 hour drive to Charlotte and closing the book on an excellent weekend.

U.S. 10km trail championships

I headed down to North Carolina for the third consecutive year to compete in the U.S. 10km trail championships.  I’ve enjoyed the race in past years and the location in the mountains of NC provides ample opportunity to bag some peaks and visit some interesting attractions.  Todd Callaghan (Gate City Striders) joined me for the trip and we had fun on Thursday and Friday checking out the highest point in the state among other cool stuff.  We previewed the course which even at an “easy” 10+ minutes per mile seemed pretty tough.

Race day was reasonably cool (for August in NC) and I warmed up with a bunch of loops on the paved camp road which was the flattest spot around.  The race is named the “Continental Divide 10km” and truth in advertising we’d pass over the divide four times during the race.  I changed into my race flats (Inov-8 212’s with great grip!) and did another mile with some strides.  It had warmed up quite a bit and it was border-line hot in the sun, luckily most of the course would be well shaded.  I felt decent in the warm-up, although I was concerned about my “off” race at Lynn Woods earlier in the week.  All of my training and racing so far this year pointed towards times just a bit faster than 2011 but at Lynn I’d run 15 seconds SLOWER.  I decided I’d push the pace on the better footing and downhill sections and try to keep Todd Callaghan and Jason Bryant (the race director who’d recently turned 40).

Just over 100 runners (in the men’s race) headed off in a sprint.  In true Cross-Country style the course narrowed quickly in the grass field and elbows flew.  U.S. 10,000 meter masters champion Chad Newton gave me a gentle hand to the back (which is normal behavior to let someone know you are slowing them down) and then he zipped around me.  I found myself in the top 20 in the first quarter mile and focused on Chad and Jason.  I lost a little ground on the one very steep section just before we started back up hill.  As we started heading back up Todd gave me a nudge as he went flying by.  I wasn’t surprised that Todd didn’t pass until nearly a mile into the race, which is fairly typical for him.  I worked the steady uphill and reeled in a bunch of guys.  We headed back through the field and I’d moved up to tenth place (I didn’t know that until after the race).  On the next long downhill I picked off one guy and that’d be the last person I’d pass on this day.

At about 3 miles we passed back through the start/finish area again and I checked my split.  I was about 30 seconds ahead of my time from last year (although I’m not exactly sure where I took the split in 2011).  I also checked out where Todd was and he had a 20 second lead on me.  On the longer straights I could see Jason and Chad battling for the top master’s spot.  I kept working hard and felt like I was doing well on the downhill parts and struggled a bit on the climbs.  I never got any closer to Todd and lost a few seconds to him on the final climb.  I was pleased to hold onto the top spot in the 45-49 and very surprised with the top ten finish.  I ended up running 46:19 which was 24 seconds faster than I’d run last year!  This was my third top ten finish in a U.S. championship since turning forty and my first since 2006.


Top 3 in the 45-49

I did a couple of miles warm-down then hung out and watched the women race.  After that we had the extensive awards ceremony (Gate City Striders placed third in the team competition and 2nd in the 40+ team competition).  With a late evening flight Todd and I had time to head over to Stone Mountain where we did a very interesting loop up/over/ and around the Mountain and a chilly soak in the river afterward.  Excellent weekend!

Moose!

Moose on the loose relay

I’ve run the Moose relay five times over the last eight year.  I like the race. It is not too expensive, the course is pretty quick for a trail race, and most importantly it is on the DRC team schedule.

Dan signed on at the last minute to do the opening leg which freed me up from doing two legs.  I headed out early with Dan and did the 2.5 miles (really 2.45) as a warm-up before the warm-up.  Just before the race started I headed out and did another 2.5 mile loop then changed into my racing flats.  I had just enough time to run out to the mile and watch the leaders fly by on their final lap.  I got in 2 miles with some strides and arrived back at the exchange with a couple of minutes to spare.  I had a little trouble with the exchange as a runner in the 10 mile was coming through at the same time and we sort of had to weave around him.  Then I was off.  My hope was to take a few seconds off my time from last year (I ran 13:23 in the first leg in 2011).

Running the anchor leg was fun as there were plenty of people to catch, some on their final circuit and some relay teams heading out on their third loop.  I tried to set a good fast clip for the first flat and downhill half-mile (2:38).  I had people to pass the entire way as I hit the mile in 5:24 (2:46), and flew around the 180 degree turn.  I thought I’d have a pretty fast split from 1 mile to 1.5 because it is fairly flat and straight, but I rolled through in 8:13 (2:49).  Having run in Mine Falls innumerable times I knew exactly where I was and how far was left the entire time.  That can be good or bad depending on how you are feeling.  Is felt pretty good and thought I still had a shot at breaking 13:20.  I hit 2 miles in 11:01 (2:48/5:37) and pushed for all I was worth.  I hit the finish in 13:23 (2:22).  Damn, exactly the same time as last year.  It was the best effort I could muster.  Our team took the victory in the four man relay (we were the fourth finishers with 3 runners in the 10 mile beating us).  I thought the effort was good and this sets me up well for the Lynn Woods Relay (08/22) and the U.S. Trail 10km championships (08/25).

Looking back

August long gone by

30 years ago
I began my training for college (U-Lowell) by putting in some 70-80 mile weeks over the summer of 1982.  I raced a couple of times in August.  Tom Mixon kicked my butt at the Billerica Crime Chase 10k where I took second place in 32:15.  The course started/finished near the Billerica “house of correction”, one of the many scenic locations to visit in “Brica”.  Later in the month I ran the Grab Bag 12km race in Lowell taking 7th place in 38:57.

25 years ago
I only raced once during August of 1987.  I ran the NEAC (now called USATF NE) 15km championship in Worcester.  This was my first “Grand Prix” race.  I went on to win the series an unmatched seven times.  As of July 28, 2012 I’ve raced in 91 USATF New England road race championships.  Greater Lowell Road Runners teammate Bob Hodge took the overall victory in 46:05 and I finished second crossing the line 3 seconds later.  5km Splits: 15:33 / 31:11 (15:38) / 46:08 (14:57)

20 years ago
I had hit or miss race results back in August of 1992.  I was preparing for my first trip to the World Mountain running championships and training fairly hard during the month.  I started off with two races within an hour in Oakham, MA.  There was a little bit of cash if I could break the course record.  I decided to take a crack at both records (5k & 5m).  I started with the 5k running a 14:43.  After a brief break I headed out and ran 26:12 on the 5 mile course running just hard enough to break the course record.  Two weeks later I had one of the worst races I’ve ever had.  I headed to Parkersburg WV for the USATF half-marathon championships.  I was hoping to run in the 1:05 range and could only muster a 1:08:02.  My training log says “felt awful the last 4 miles”.  I ended up finishing in a very disappointing 38th place. 
Outkicking Howard Nippert

The following week I was off to Europe for the first of many trips across the pond for the Mountain running championships.  We tuned up with a race up the Kitzbuhelerhorn in Kitzbuhel Austria.  The course is similar to Mt Washington in total climb but had a mostly flat first 3k and a very tough last kilometer.  I ended up finishing in third place (59:22) over the 8 mile course that climbed over 4,000’ and won $400, my first international prize money!  The following week we traveled to Susa, Italy and trained on part of the course.  The World Champs course was just over 9 miles and had over 5,000’ of climb and one big drop of about 400’.  I ended up just cracking the top 10 with a 9th place finish (1:13:08).  I was kind of disappointed as I’d worked my way up to 5th place on the first big climb but lost 7 spots on the downhill (I’m not good at downhill running).  I gained back a few spots on the final climb but vowed to come back the following year and get into the top 5.

River Rivals totals

River Rivals Recap
The outdoor track “season” is over and I’m pleased with how it went.  Dan and I both used the River Rivals series as an opportunity to get in some speed work, but they weren’t just workouts…we raced each event.  The goal was to get the legs rolling along in time for Masters Track Nationals.  Dan ended up getting a Gold and Silver medal at Nationals and I got a bronze. 

We ended up finishing 2nd and 4th in the overall standings (Men's Open) for the series.  I also ended up with the season best times for the 800, mile, and 2 mile.  Dan beat me 3 out of four times in the 800 and I beat him 3 out of four times in the 2 mile.  Ken Tripp kept us from finishing 1-2 in all of the two miles we ran.  All in all it was a fun way to spend a bunch of Tuesday nights during the summer!
