Castle Peak 100k Recap – By JoAnn Ellero

August 30, 2019 by admin Leave a Comment

It’s 11 PM.  When I look ahead to where the trail is marked, I can’t tell if the lights I see above are headlamps from other runners or stars in the California sky.   I shine my light to the left and hear a voice: “grab the rope……welcome to the Palisades” Three hours earlier, I […]

Castle Peak 100K Recap by Dan Brounstein

August 30, 2019 by admin 2 Comments

It was a bit of a strange prep week before the race.  I wasn’t that nervous and to be honest, I hadn’t really prepped mentally like I had in the past for other first-time race distances.  I was in great running shape, but had no idea what I was going to do for nutrition, pace, […]

My First 100k, First Western States Qualifier, Castle Peak 100k Race Report Written by: Brandon Galvez Their website boldly states, “Facing the brunt of fate.  Indomitable. Unafraid.”  I won’t lie, I was afraid.  I’m not a morning person and have no problem sleeping 8-9 hours everyday given the opportunity.  The week leading up to the […]

August 30, 2019 by admin 1 Comment

What a wonderful weekend for a long run around Truckee! I drove my truck over to Sugar Bowl on Friday to sign a couple of acknowledgements about the course being difficult/dangerous and enjoy the company of the lovely DPMR group. We left my truck there at the finish so I could run to it at […]

The Muddy MUC 25k

March 31, 2019 by Carol Patterson 2 Comments

As I slogged along the muddy MUC this year, it was raining – hard, to hardly, then back to hard again – from beginning to end.  I wasn’t sure I was ready for MUC this year – hadn’t run much, I’d gone skiing in CO in early February then down with a bad cold for […]
