November Handicap Race Information
Saturday, November 12 at 8:30 AM
4 Mile Trail Run Hosted by Nicole and Steve Buerger

 The handicap series has returned after a summer/fall hiatus.  For those of you who may be unaware, we decided to suspend the handicap series during the months of May – October because there seemed to be so many other events going on during that time.  Now we’re back and the 2011/2012 series kicked off with the popular Thanksgiving 4-miler hosted by Nicole and Steve Buerger.  This handicap was held on Saturday, November 12 and we couldn’t have asked for a better day to run.  Temperatures started out cool with lots of sunshine and warmed up just enough to make it very pleasant for spectating, as a few people did.   Handicap runners and walkers started at Nicole and Steve’s house and proceeded to quickly turn onto the Linear Park trail.  From that point, the race stays on trails, which feature mostly rolling hills and few steeper sections that make you appreciate the downhill even more.  The fun, out-and-back course also gives you a chance to watch your competition, both on the way out and coming back. 

Speaking of competition, we had a good race for first place with Nick Juskiewicz, who has recently done several ultras, edging out Kevin Witte by 14 seconds.  Close behind were David Wilson, Maria Ladd, and Ian Maddieson (another ultra runner!).   Everyone did a great job and survived the mountain, err hill, that met us at the end of the race.  Our reward – a wonderful potluck and some awesome Thanksgiving-related prizes!  A special thanks to Wendy Wiggins for taking some photographs of the race for our ARR Convention promo video.  Wendy ran to the halfway point, took pictures, and then ran back so she was on double duty for the event.

The next handicap will be held on Saturday, December 3 at 8:30am at Academy Hills Park (near the intersection of Juan Tabo and Eubank).  This will be a two-person relay but don’t worry if you don’t have a partner.  We’ll match you up with someone the day of the event.  There will be a potluck afterwards at the Zanelli house.
