Antelope Island 50 mile race report
What a perfect day to run with the Buffalo’s, Erik Storheim tore the legs off his nearest competitor who eventually vaporized and posted a time of 7:11 followed by Kelly Korevec and Christian Johnson. The women’s race was dominated by Birgitta Johnson who looked strong all day posting a time of 8:24 followed by second place finisher Susan Armstrong and fellow Wasatch Running Center runner Milada Copeland for third. I was just getting over a cold and hung in there for 11 place overall with a second place 40-49 age group award. What a great day to run around the stinky Great Salt Lake with Buffalo chips every where ! Buffalo Run also held a 25k and a 50k on the other side of the island, I missed those events.

Hey Scott….I too enjoyed the day Saturday. It was a perfect day to run 50 miles. I wasn’t far in front of you, but managed to barely pull off a time breaking the 9 hour mark (8:57). I’d love to come run the Snowbird Goat run, or whatever you’re calling it on July 21st, but unfortunately (and fortunately) I’ve been invited to be a pacer and crew member for the first ever South American (and Brazilian) womer to compete in Badwater Death Valley. And we are meeting in Vegas on that same day before the race on Monday. But good luck to you and all those who join you in the mountains. I’m sure I’ll see you again soon. BTW…I’m in SquawPeak 50 this year. It’s my come back since my first attempt 3 years ago I had to bail at 33 miles due to URINATION OF BLOOD….yeah…gross, I know! And very scary.
Take care,
Jarom
Hey Goats,
I was out on the island running a slightly shorter race(25k) but I agree that the day was great. I am really new to the trail running world and I really have liked it so far. I am signed up for the Triple Trail this summer but would like to get some training advice on going down the hills( they almost killed me on the buffalo run. I am also looking for a group or team to join. Any words of wisdom for this young guy would be great. Talk to you soon.
Best,
Josh

Josh from Heber? leave me a phone number, I blaze up timp mtn. all summer, great place to learn downhill techniques. bahahaha
WSG,
Josh from Heber is correct. I never thought about trying to run up timp. I have hiked some of it but I am willing to giv it a try. Thanks!!! Not sure where you are but for a fun easy run the Heber Valley has some great trails and Soldier Hollow has a great trail system that lets you feel the glory of the Olympics. My best to all.
