Subject: PCT 50-San Diego Pirkl/Bahr Victorious From: "maureen moran michael" Date: Tue, 03 Sep 2002 14:57:47 -0700 To: ultra@LISTSERV.DARTMOUTH.EDU The 24th running of the Pacific Crest Trail 50 Mile Race was held on Saturday, August 31st. As usual the weather was hot as hell! We had ten no shows and one DNS. Twenty eight brave runners endured the heat, the burned up course (recent fires)and the removal of trail markers. Twenty three runners finished with local runner Greg Pirkl winning in a time of 9:36. Greg overtook two-time winner Tracy Moore who ran bonus milage (due to the moving of trail markers) and had stomach problems. Moore did win the Lazarus award for almost dropping then going on to finish in second place. The winning female was Tracy Bahr with a time of 10:24. Tracy won all three San Diego 50 milers this year, quite an accomplishment! A full report will be submitted to UltraRunning magazine. Results as follows.
