- Hartell leads Jurek by 2 minutes and Meltzer by 13 minutes as they left Engineer Pass at mile 48.6, we got a race!
- Emily Baer left just 10 minutes in front of Krissy Moehl from Grouse Gulch, the women’s race is going to be a barn burner!

- First runner through Chapman should win!
- Jurek is the first runner through Chapman and may be on his way to victory!

- Could Jurek post a course record?
- Jurek just finished at 8:08, what a great run Scott, congratulations!! 26:08- record!

- Krissy is in 4th place-21 minutes behind Meltzer at Kamm Traverse go Krissy!
- Meltzer just passed through Putnam with some impressive splits considering he came back from the dead! Hang on for sub 29 WHSG!
- Meltzer hung in there for second place at 10:59, 28:59! Way to hang for sub 29. How to take a 2 hour nap and still finish 2nd at Hardrock???????
- Krissy Moehl - First women in at 11:24, 29:24 !! Super congratulations !! She finished third behind Meltzer! wow~Female SpeedGoat kicked up some dust out there! Course Record !!
- Jared Campbell from Salt Lake kicked it in for a strong 4th place finish at 29:37~
- Watching for fellow Speedgoats Roch Horton, Ken Jensen and old rival Todd Salzer!! Keep on scraping!
- Imagine that: Roch Horton and Ken Jensen are on there way in from Putnam on the same splits! The Salt Lake boys finished the same time, nice work!

First one through Chapman wins??? Come on now…. these guys will put up a more interesting battle than that. First one across the Mineral Creek might not even win - and that’s 2.5 miles from the finish.
The battle begins at Telluride….

You are an arrogant little jerk.
July 13th, 2007 at 11:21 pm
Can you explain why the first one through Chapman wins?? Is it a guesstimate or some good technical/ logical reasoning that goes behind it?

July 14th, 2007 at 7:43 am
something is wrong with DAVID, anyone know this guy? Jurek was the first guy through Chapman and may win the day!
July 14th, 2007 at 7:51 am
Chapman is mile 82, Scott and Karl have been battling all day, the runner who arrives there first will be the stronger guy that day and should be able to hold on to the finish! (smell the finish line!) It is a powerful boost~

WSG always one in the crowd(david) ….Thanks for the race updates and for explaining “why” reaching Chapman first usually wins it… Looks like it’s Jurek’s day.
ALL I know is what a great battle during the first half & beyond, also with the ladies…Such amazing Endurance Athletes that compete at a level I can only dream about… Look forward to reports next week!
July 14th, 2007 at 8:37 am
Yup.. first one through Chapman (Jurek) won….
Good effort Karl! Rooting for everyone the whole way!
July 14th, 2007 at 10:43 am
Jurker all the way…just like I said.

Great race! Jurek sets a course record on a bum ankle. Krissy just plain rocked. Wow!
What happened to Karl’s 2nd place finish? The board currently has him 8th???

Oops! Must have been a tech glitch. Karl’s back where he should be. Gutsy run.
