Weekend Results

Dewey Peacock (pictured) ran a speedy winning 10k time of 34:44 on a tough and sloppy course at the Run to the Pub 10k in Bozeman. Dewey wore the 295's for 1st OA and appreciated the versatile traction on both the road and off-road surfaces. Eric Charette got 2nd OA at the Delano Park 50 mile with a time of 7:14:16. Lainie Callahan was the 13th female finisher at the competitive Way to Cool 50k in 5:01:36. Jim Johnson got another twin bill of racing under his belt this weekend. On Saturday he smoked the Spring Ahead 3 Miler (road) in Concord, NH grabbing 1st overall in 14:54 (4:58 pace). Then on Sunday he tied for first place with fellow Inov-8 teammate Kevin Tilton at the Granite State Snowshoe Championship in Mt. Washington, NH (10K). In a dramatic and exciting finish both dove across the line for a tie in 46:14. (read Jim's commentary of the race in the read more section below)

"Kevin and I battled in this one. I led for the first mile in blizzard conditions. Kevin took the lead at around a mile and hammered the next 5+ with me right on his heels. He lost me on a couple of the climbs and then I would catch back up on the downs and in some of the technical single-track. With about 200 meters to go, I tried a couple of unsuccessful moves, which he matched and I was unable to get around him. With about 30 yards to go, I moved to the outside and we both sprinted for the line and both dove across at exactly the same time, and collapsed. It was an incredible finish and the first unintentional tie in the history of either of the snowshoe series in New England."
