11th Mt. Misery Relay Race
Troy, OR, June 22, 2002
Results courtesy of the Seaport Striders Running Club
If you weren't there, then you really missed out on a
great time this year at the run. Couldn't have been
any funner!!!
We had to run the 55 mile alternate route because
there was still snow on the mountain. The weather was
perfect with a big thunder and lightening storm as we
climbed Weissenfels Ridge. The afternoon was pretty
warm...no, HOT! Especially because we rode in the
back end of an open pick-up! There is NO shade on the
alternate route!
Mike Collins team from LCSC took the race this year
with a time of 5:19:38. There was a real knock-down
drag-out race for second place between last years
winning team and the return of Greg Tate's team. The
"1st and Last Timers" beat out the "Five STuds and a
Freshman" by one minute! Quite the return!!
But what you really missed out on this year was a
heapin' helpin' of "Fat Dave's" BBQ Chicken and Pork,
with his secret gourmet recipe of "Grande Ronde BBQ
Beans"...mmmmm,mmmm...oh yes! Dave has already put
together next year's menu featuring Prime Rib and
Corn-on-the-Cob! Good Eatin'!
Quite a few people camped out that night in Troy and
waited for the first Mt. Misery solo runner, Paul
Piplani. Can you believe this guy and his sherpa
drove all the way from Phoenix Arizona just to do our
run? They left Phoenix at 11:00pm Thursday and began
the run at 6:00am Saturday! Paul crossed the finish
line that night to a cheering croud with his official
time of 15:15:10. A NEW COURSE RECORD!
Note: Alternate Route - 55.5M
