It looked like perfect weather for one of Utah’s best 100′s! The Wasatch Speed Goats had two married couples in the race, Deb – Steve Pero along side was Larry and Beth Hall. I haven’t got the full report but it sounds like the Nannies had a banner day in planet Utah!

Beth Hall and Deb Pero

Nice job Nannies!

Wasatch Speed Goat MRT update

The team WSG has been out there scraping up the trails and posting some killer results!

Amy Sproston – 1st place at the Two Moons 100k, probably one of the toughest 100k’s around. Amy should do well at Massaunutten and the Wasatch 100 this summer. Ten scrapes for the win! She won with a cast on her hoof!

Larry Hall – The runner who never stops racing! Chicago 50k Finished 6th overall in 3:56:44. 2nd through 6th were fairly close, with about 7 minutes separating these five places. Chippewa Moraine 50k there was between 4 and 18 inches of the white stuff to run through. Postholing is so much fun, as well as sliding off the trail into the water. I finished 18th overall in 5:53:35 andwas so glad to be done. Do you race every weekend? Nice job, need some spotted cow ale from Wynn Davis!

Tim Long heads to the Bull Run with his hooves sharpened and breaks the 8 hour barrier on swift 50 mile coarse. 7:49:56 for seventh place!! This was a stacked field with over 300 starters, way to keep the leg speed up Tim! Super performance!

Steve Pero ran the , DRB 50K Trail Run also as known as Don’t Run Don’t-Run-Boston 50K. Steve had a great run, not a PB on the coarse but still nailed down 6th place.Steve Pero , NH 6:45! Nice~

Chris Boyack Heads to the Desert RATS / Spring Desert Ultra to hook up with teammate Sandy White. “Too cool to have a teammate in the same race and be able to offer encouragement and motivation.” How cool is that? Sandy made a great final comeback to finish strong in 10:01 (10th place?). Strong work, man! I finished 10 minutes later with 6 blisters, one missing toenail, 14th place. Way to represent the WSG in the desert!

These are just a few updates with more on the way, this team is out enjoying the trails every weekend! Nice work.

I want to thank every one who applied for the team as I was hoping to get 4 or 5 people together, instead I received up to 60 e-mails about the team. I do have every one’se-mail on file as we hope to expand the team next year! Super Thanks!
