Subject: Quicksilveer 50K/50 Mile Results Date: Sun, 13 May 2001 17:54:38 -0700 From: "Janice O'Grady and Tom O'Connell" The weather was perfect for yesterday's race - foggy in the early morning then sunny on and off - high of about 76. It was just enough to give some gentle heat training. In the 50-mile Tom Flahavan and Rick Simonsen ran together the entire race after starting almost 5 minutes late. They cruised to a new course record about 28 minutes faster than Tom's record set last year on the new course. Jennifer Devine-Pfeiffer also set a new course record on the women's side, taking 7 minutes off Gayla Johnson's time last year. The times in the 50K were a bit slower than last year, but the women's race was exciting with Laura Kulsik coming from behind to pass Rena Schumann on the last mile of downhill for the win. Everyone raved about the post-race barbecue at the "Quicksilver Cafe." Diners chose from a menu of a variety of grilled treats and yummy desserts that included pie and ice cream. The wildflowers on the course were blooming, the views of the Santa Cruz Mountains were great--and only one person managed to get lost! Quicksilver - May 12, 2001 - San Jose, CA 50 Mile 1.
