Welcome to Eden :)

I'm up at Sugarloaf and found WiFi at the condo. Updates are likely ... current temperature 40 and light rain (5:30, Friday May 18). See everyone soon.

Keep running!

Weather is perfect, about 45 degrees, waning drizzle, no wind to speak of. The air is buzzing with lots of Eden and ZAP energy. Won't be long now...

5:18. He knew it was fast even before Brian told him. Says he'll do better.

5:30. Right on target.

5:25. Rain has picked up a bit, not heavy, but more than a drizzle.

5:25.

5:29. Moving up into the hills.

5:30. It has now become a definitively rainy day.

5:28.

5:33.

5:58. That was the "slow" one. Brian was really huffing and puffing! :-)

5:47.

5:30. Now comes the steep descent. The rain has picked up again, but still not much wind.

5:19. Judson looks good and relaxed.

5:30. Brian is having trouble reading his watch because of the rain and foggy glasses. The course doesn't have a mark for the half, but the 13 mile cumulative time is 1:11:42.

5:31.

5:32. Cumulative time at 15 miles: 1:22:45.

5:21.

looks like from the first 13mi that jud would've gone through the half at about 1:11:50 or so, projecting him for a 2:23:40, however, the plan was to run slower in the initial miles since this is the hillest part. The last 10 miles are the easiest as far as terrain is concerned so if he's feeling strong he shouldn't have a problem making up a minute and fifty seconds the last half. My fingers are crossed!!!!!

Go Judson! Go Eden!

5:17. The rain is easing off, still no wind, although Brian's velocity on the bike creates its own wind, so coming through the cell phone, it sounds pretty windy!

Any news on Ginger?

5:19.

5:23.

5:27. Just once around Eagle Lake to go...

Just did the spreadsheet vs. plan, and through 19, Juddy is 21 seconds ahead of the pace plan that puts him sub-2:22. Go Juddy!

5:22.

5:36.

5:35. He's digging deep...

Cumulative time: 2:06:05.

5:39.

2:24:low

Pretty impressive performance. As of 9:30, no one else has finished yet. Judson says he lost his rhythm at mile 9, hit the downhills and couldn't get rolling.

looks like jud's last 10K after 20miles would have to be32:30, which is 5:15 pace.

I just heard from Ginger's husband Tim. Ginger is right on pace and feeling great. He called about 10 minutes ago and she was approaching mile 17. He said the people in front of her are starting to fade and she looks relaxed and comfortable.

Stephen Philbrook. Just past 17 miles, Amy was right around 2:30. She feels strong and is ready to pick it up.

Ginger, at around mile 17, feels great and is right on schedule.

2:24:07

Ginger just went by mile 20 looking strong. Tim looked at his watch as she passed by mile 20 and it was around 9:53. He said she looked like she was picking up the pace.

She's between miles 20-21, on pace to go under 3:33. She asked Stephen if she should slow down, he said NO!

Luke Wood was 2nd in 2:33
Eric Rudolph 3rd in 2:50-ish
Austin 5th in 2:56
RK just over 3:02
Henry Bauer in 3:02:53

!st woman came in at 2:57:20

Ethan H won the 15K in 47:23

runners at Sugarloaf. You all did a super job and make us all happy to be a part of the Eden Club

I just spoke to Tim again and Ginger is starting to look a little tired. He saw her at mile 22 and is now waiting for her at mile 24.

Ginger has just passed mile 24 and it was around 10:31. She needs to do 2.2 miles in around 14 minutes to qualify for Boston. Either way, it will be a huge PR for her. Her best marathon time is around 4:02.

Finishing time for Ginger is 3:49ish. She didn't qualify for Boston but she is pleased with her 13 minute PR.

Awesome time for Ginger--great PR

You are an inspiration to me!

Nice going, everyone!

Great job Judson, Austin, Amy and Ginger. You're inspiring. I'm looking forward to seeing how the rest of Eden did today too.

Congratulations to all the racers - Fantastic effort all around! Also thanks to the Eden support crew, for all the frequent and in-depth race coverage. You all made this event come alive for everyone glued to their computers today - And I'm sure there's more to come.
