Spring Spree Run

Spring Spree 10K (S Platte River)
March 19, 2011

What a difference a year makes! Last years race was held with ice and snow. This year's race was almost picture perfect weather. With the exception of a few minor glitches in awarding medals, everything went perfectly. The turn out was fantastic with 104 participants spanning ages 8 to 80. Runners came from more distant than usual places such as Canon City, Palmer Park, Grandby, Millicent, Ft. Collins and Cheyenne. In setting up the course I was a bit worried with the number of bikers, runners, walkers, skaters, etc. using the course. But that didn't seem to be a problem once the race started. As promised, this year, in addition to the usual age category awards, we had an age-graded category, that is the competitor's time was compared to the world record for that competitor's age and gender. The results were in a percentage of the world record time. The Runner's World website list classes for these percentage. The classes indicate competitor groups in which, if a runner runs such a time, he or she would not be "outclassed" in that competitor group. The percentages are "would not be outclassed in" : 90-100% = world class; 80-90% = national class, 70-80% = regional class; 60-70% = local class. It was impressive that over half of our participants were at least in the "would not be outclassed in local class winner category. We had 22 participants in would not be outclassed in regional competition and three in the national class. Our winner in the age-graded competion, Stephanie Weicks ran a time that was 88% of her age group world record. That time almost got her into the "world class" competitor group. The other age-graded award winners were Alyn Park (83%), Adam Feerst (81%); Tristain Mitchell (77%) and Bob Caillouette (76%). Thanks to Mike and Chris Vanoni and their timing company for promptly providing these more complicated results. Thanks also to Physiotherapy Associates for sponsoring the beautiful plaques awarded in this category.

Times were relatively fast this year with many good in all age and gender categories. Overall 10K winners were 25 year-old Tristain Mitchell (35:00) and 30 year-old Molly Smith (42:39). Age division winners were Ken Green (M 80+), Jim "the B-man" Romero (M70-74), Larry Avery (M 65-69); Alyn Park (F60-64); Lou Huie (M60-64), Bob Caillouette (M55-59); Monica Ryan (F50-54); Adam Feerst (M50-54); Jane Harbart (F45-49); Michael Guenther (M45-49), Martha Martinez (F40-44), Marcus Dever (M40-44), Teresa Gessner (F35-39), Justin Little (M35-39), Molly Smith (F19-34), Tristain Mitchll (M19-34), Alondra Gonzales (F1-13) and Arion Herrera (M 1-13). Overall 5K winner was Ian Monk (38:41). Trailing him were Kim Shenfield (42:34), Robert Dexter(46:04), and Leslie Woods (46:06).

Many thanks to all the volunteers: Connie Ahrnsbrak and Joe Sanchez with registration, Tom Baird for handling usual timing at the finish line. Earl Pitzer for help in setting up the course; Bonnie Pitzer and the volunteers from Physiotherpy Associates especially Julie Miller and Dawn Wild for being race marshals, clean up and helping with awards and drawing.

Thanks to the sponsors: Physiotherapy Associates (plaques for the age-graded division), Great Harvest Bread of Arvada (12 delicious loaves of bread), Boulder Running Company of Denver and Boulder (gift certificates and hats) , and Runners Roost (gift certificates). After the race I was very pleases to see so many runners enjoying lunch at the Platte River Bar and Grille. I hope this is enough thanks to them for the generous use of their back parking lots for this event.
