H2H--Awesome Performances by Suzanne and Matt
Suzanne Evans and Matt Sessions had outstanding runs in the H2H Ultra 100K race on Saturday.
Suzanne's time of 8:30:45 was good enough for 3rd overall in the race, and this would have been a new women's course record except that one of the two people ahead of Suzanne was another woman, Denise Mchale. Doug Alward, who acted as Suzanne's "crew" on a miserable day, reported that Denise is a tough runner from the Yukon who won a $7,000 diamond in another race.
Suzanne's performance was superb, nonetheless. She finished only 12 minutes ahead of Phoenix teammate Matt Sessions, who was 4th overall in the race, 2nd male, and top masters finisher. Matt's time of 8:42:16 was his best ever in this event, I believe.
To put these performances in perspective, the Phoenix Derelicts relay team, made up of 8 fresh runners, took 7:44:42 to complete the course, and only one of us had to run in semi-darkness! We did have our excuses, though--four of us were recently or still recovering from colds/flu, and Brenda Philip ran bravely with an IT band injury. We placed 2nd in the Open Mixed division.
Notable performances were Chris Tomkinson (Leg 6 5th place finisher, and top masters finisher) and me (Nancy T) (Leg 1 7th place finisher, and top female finisher.)
Congratulations to our other team members: Brenda Philip, Adam Frilund (thanks for taking on Team Captain duties), Joakim Nilsson, Peggy Brown, Paul Tinari and Anna Hilborn. We couldn't have competed without the help of Vic Suddaby, who was our team volunteer--a big thanks, Vic!

Ironman Matt
Matt Survives Another Great Endurance Challenge
On Sunday August 30, Matt Sessions completed his first Ironman Triathlon in 12 hours and 40 seconds. This is pretty amazing for a guy who almost drowned in a little swimming pool a few years ago and then had a bad bike crash last year that kept him out of the 2008 Ironman.
Doug Alward was on-site in Penticton on Sunday giving me phone updates on Matt's progress in the Ironman Canada race. Doug's first phone call was to inform me that Matt hadn't drowned during the swim, but had completed the 3.8K distance in about 1 hour, 28 minutes. Doug somehow missed seeing Matt on the run, but called again at 7 PM to report that he had just heard Matt's name called out at the finish line and estimated his time at about 12 hours. Matt ran a fine marathon (3:44:48)but was not as competitive on the bike course, completing the 180 km ride in about 6 hours and 33 minutes. Conditions were hot and Doug said the cyclists faced a strong headwind in the last 30K.
Congratulations again to Matt and I'm sure he'll be fresh as a daisy for his next long race in Manning Park in a couple of weeks.

Richmond Oval 8K Race
August 16, 2009
A small but powerful Phoenix contingent made their mark at the Richmond Oval this morning, in the last race of the Lower Mainland Series.
Mikhail Titov, Adam Frilund, Dave Frilund, Nancy Tinari and John Atkinson all won medals in their age categories, with the first four taking gold in their divisions. Mik's was the most notable performance, as he finished 4th overall in a race that was admittedly light in the elite department. Mik and Nancy were also the first overall masters finishers.
Times are listed below, with the following insider's information: Everyone ran at least 90 sec. slower than normal on this course. It was rumoured to be over the 8K distance, and was also mainly a gravel surface rather than a road race.
For complete results, go to www.raceheadquarters.com where you can review overall results, age group results, and age-graded results.
