for those who follow this kind of thing :
Anton Krupicka (great new American ultra trail runner)
v.s.
Killian Jornet (greatest young European ultra runner)going head to head this weekend (right now) in the Western States 100 miler.
Jun 26, 2010 at 5:22 pm #1623637Art, Thanks for the link. Eighty miles in and both are running strong.
Jun 26, 2010 at 6:16 pm #1623660Kilian seems to have dropped back at 85, passed by Roes. Very interesting!
Jun 26, 2010 at 6:49 pm #1623667Roes is very strong.
He holds the record on the Wasatch 100, second hardest 100 miler in America.
Maybe Kilian is just too young and not seasoned enough yet.Jun 26, 2010 at 6:53 pm #1623669Roes has passed Krupika at 90!
Jun 26, 2010 at 7:35 pm #1623678amazing race today, have been glued to the updates. Watching the live streaming feed of the finish line now!
Jun 26, 2010 at 7:47 pm #1623685Roes finishes like nobody's business! It's amazing how he pulled away from Krupika near the end.
Jun 26, 2010 at 8:13 pm #1623696Amazing race.
Great win for Roes.
Roes hung back in 3rd till Anton crushed Kilian at mile 85, then he pulled alongside and passed Anton at mile 90.
New course record.Jun 26, 2010 at 9:15 pm #1623712Kilian really faded over the last 15 miles. Finished almost an hour behind Roes. Great race!
Jun 27, 2010 at 8:05 am #1623754Congrats to all the Western States runners! Not to take away from the endurance spectacle up front that Anton, Roes and Kilian put down for the entire 100 miles, but no one should ignore the amazing effort that Nick Clark from Fort Collins put down. Clark moved up the ranks consistently and appeared to get better after the Rucky Chucky station. Nick was slightly off the radar going into the big dance, recently winning my states Jemez 5O mile endurance race in May as well as the Ghost Town Ultra in Jan. of this year. Nick moved up the ranks yesterday and put the heat on Jornet in the last 10 miles, this is absolutely amazing! He was the darkhorse and I almost lost a round of pints at the pub to my trail running buddy on this guy! I had Anton all the way, Geoff closed this race in such a flash of brilliance, it's unbelievable what he did. Jurek surely felt his balloon deflate, Roes shattered the 2004 course record by almost 30 minutes. No 3-peat for Koerner this year.
I'm running the Deadman Peaks 50 Miler on the CDT Oct. 23rd and events such as the one that took place yesterday is completely inspiring and motivating to me!
Jul 13, 2010 at 12:31 pm #1628630Geoff Roes' record time referred to above was 15:07:04
