Event-filled Weekend Wrap-up

This weekend was a busy one here on the Big Island with two events on Saturday and three on Sunday.  Saturday kicked off the weekend with the first half of the MS Ride and also the EMS 5k Run and 2-mile walk in Hilo.  Unfortunately, I've been battling an injury, so we weren't able to make it over for the EMS Run this year. But lots of other people were there, with 400 finishers in just the 5k! Results from the EMS run are available here. 

On Sunday morning, the second half of the MS Ride concluded, we had Peaman's Pedal til ya Puke, Run til ya Ralph event in Kona and Big Island Road Runners hosted the Mana 10s in Waimea.  We stuck around town for the Peaman event, but heard great reviews from the runners at the Mana 10k and 10-miler.  That race is run on Mana Road, with a large portion unpaved.  The course challenges you with some rolling hills and an incline on the way out and then mainly downhill on the way back.  The weather is also usually a little different from our typical sunny skies and 80 degrees.  Waimea is known for being cool and rainy - perfect running weather.  Results from that event are below:

Meanwhile, runners and cyclists were making their way from the bottom of Kaloko Drive all the way to the top - 6.5 miles straight up - for Peaman's Pedal Til Ya Puke, Run Til Ya Ralph. Full results from the race are available here. Unfortunately, I missed getting a time for one biker, which knocked the results off by one person.  I think we got it corrected, but let us know if you think your time was different.

Leading the way for the cyclists was Penn Henderson, as usual, with a time of 38:18.  Robert Patey of Hilo was second in 43:47 and Sean Maynard was third in 45:19.  The first "runner" to the top was Dene Sturm's dog Bailey in a time of 51:15.  Chris Gregory was first for runner with two legs in a time of 53:33.  Jason was next in 58:44.

For the ladies, Kym Kiser was the first cyclist to the top in a time of 52:25, followed by Pam Harlow in 1:06:01 and Lori Montgomery on her mountain bike in 1:26:19.  Rani Henderson was the first female runner to finish the climb with a time of 1:00:45. Linda Goeth was second in 1:27:45 and Julia Crawford was third in 1:38:44.

For runners who didn't want to tackle the entire distance, there was the Papa Pea Pedal or Plod.  This year, Papa Pea took first place overall in the distance named after him!

Finally, there was a 1-mile distance that started at the top of the hill, ran down for half a mile and then turned around and climbed back to the finish.  Amanda Schiff took first place in that race in a time of 9:39.  She was followed by her brother Henry in 10:13.  Jon Kunitake wrapped up the top three racers in a time of 10:24. Jason and Chris Gregory both did a double, running the full distance as well as the mile.

A special shout-out to Rob Van Geen who climbed the entire distance for his first return to a Peaman event since having a bike wreck in the late spring. It was great to see him back out there!

Also, here is a link to the results from last weekend's Team Mango trashcan triathlon.  We sure had a good time cleaning up Alii Drive! 

Up this weekend is the UH-Hilo Vulcan XC 5k on Saturday at 8:00 a.m. at Naniloa Volcanoes Resort Golf Course.  Then on Sunday is the Alii Challenge, a 6-mile swim from Keauhou Bay to Kailua Pier.  Jason and I plan to do a relay for this one for the first time - should be interesting!
