20 Years ago - June of 2001: I raced five times, four mountain races and one road race. The first race (06/03/01) was a second place finish at Pack Monadnock. Eric Morse took the win in 59:07 and I took second place in 59:40. A week later (06/09/01) we tied on Whiteface Mountain an 8 mile climb in Wilmington NY. Neither of us wanted to try and break it open, so late in the race we decided to finish together. The 56:27 we ran is still the course record. Nikki Kimball also set a CR that day with her victory in 1:11:56. The following day (06/10/01) I did my only road race of the month, the Khoury’s 4.13. I finished 5th in 22:37 and have no memory of this race at all (maybe that is a good thing). The following weekend (06/16/01) I took second place on a hot and humid day at Mt Washington. The temperature was 86 at the base and 64 at the top as I ran 1:04:20 and picked up $500 for my efforts. The final race of the month (06/23/01) was the Ascutney hill climb where Eric (28:47) again beat me as I took second place in 29:39.
