Way Too Cool 50k 2013

Ernie Takahashi It was an ideal morning for a 50K, cool, a little overcast and no wind at 8:00 AM March 9th, 2013.  I wish the race started earlier but there was a large field (about 900 registered runners) and a two wave start for an ultra! The first loop is 8 miles and relatively flat but the single track portion gets slow at times in long Congo Lines.  But I probably spent too much energy trying to pass runners in this section. After the Fire Station, the course is mostly down hill … [Read More...]

Shamrockin Race Report

By Rachel McMichael 6am: Alarm Goes off, "Noooooo!" I say to myself. "Why do I always do this to myself?" For once I just want to be excited for a race and not feel like I am going to have a heart attack or crap my pants. 6:15am: Eat breakfast and drink coffee (note to self: this may induce previously mentioned concern of crapping pants but I make the choice to accelerate my heart rate instead). 6:30am: Still undecided about which shoes I am going to race in. The old ones with 400 … [Read More...]

2012 California International Marathon – My First Marathon

                    By Amy Cernicky   The day started out promising.  Although it had rained pretty steadily for the week leading up to the marathon, and the most intense of three storms was predicted to hit at about the same time the race was to start, it wasn't raining at 5:00 AM as we waited for the bus.  After the hour long ride to the start area, however, any hope that the storm had blown … [Read More...]

  • Who Owns the Parkway? June 14, 2013
    If you read the Sacramento Bee, you’ve probably noticed the spate of articles on the Sacramento County Park Rangers’ plans to crack down on speeding cyclists. There was the original article, which has over 470 comments, (450 of them by idiots), which I responded to here, and the Bee’s follow-up Can’t We All Just Get Along? […]
  • Don’t Blame Strava! June 14, 2013
    In 2010, a man trying to achieve King of the Mountain (or KOM) status on Strava, died in a bike crash while racing down a steep descent in Berkeley’s Tilden Park. The family of cyclist William “Kim” Flint II sued Strava for encouraging his dangerous riding. On June 3, San Francisco Superior Court judge Marla Miller granted […]
