An Easter Weekend of Racing

Since I took a large portion of 2013 off of running and racing while I battled plantar fasciitis, it had been awhile since I'd been able to enjoy all of the fun local events as a participant.  I solved that problem last weekend by running two races in the span of 15 hours and then attending a third the next day.  It was great to be back again, but I was very happy to have a rest day after that!

On the afternoon of Good Friday, I drove over to Hilo to participate in the Emily Wedemann Memorial 5-miler.  Emily was a longtime supporter of the Big Island Road Runners and the running community on the east side of the island.  Her sons are also great assets to that community with Joe serving as race director for the new Hilo Triathlon while Bob serves as the race director for the Big Island International Marathon. Emily passed away a few years ago from cancer, so instead of an entry fee, the run collections donations to the American Cancer Society (almost $600!).

The run started at Coconut Island, ran a loop around Liliuokalani Gardens, headed up the Suisan Bridge to Bayfront before turning back, running along Banyan Drive and out on Kalanianole Ave towards the port and back.


Tony O'Toole was the first men's finisher with a time of 34:28.  Harrison Bierman (34:40) and Patrick Baker (36:29) took second and third for the men.

Emily Wallingford took first place for the ladies with a time of 36:55.  I followed in second place in 39:07, with Sarah Bidwell finishing third in 39:10.

Full results from the race are available here. Some additional photos of the race are below:

Thanks to Big Island Road Runners for hosting this race! After the run was over, I drove back to Kona, grabbed a quick dinner and hopped in bed to be ready for the next race - the 33rd Annual Mac-a-thon 5k/10k in Honaunau.

Jason and I take turns attending this race because it's on a Saturday morning and conflicts with our training groups/store opening, but it's always one we fight over.  Several people I've talked to say this is their favorite race on the island.  The course is challenging (running the road from Honaunau to Kealakekua Bay and back), but the post-race festivities and local vibe are well worth it.

This race is full of perennial competitors - including race starter Teddy Ginn, who at age 81 is still going strong!

After his blessing, the 10k took off on the course.  Kris Keough from Kealakekua used his knowledge of the course to his advantage and beat out Nathanael Mole to take first place.  Big Island Running Company's John Ferdico was unable to hold off the women's winner Stacy Schlocker-Zurich, but held on to third place for the men.  After Stacy, second place went to Anna DeLeon and Nancy Kramer took third. Full results from the 10k are here.

Nancy Kramer

The 5k started 5 minutes after the 10k and went out with a bang - keiki charging ahead.  Of course, that lasted about 200 yards before they were gasping for air. At the front of the race, it was a battle between Tai Scarborough (pushing his son Lihau) and Joe Fairchild, with Joe surging ahead to finish in 18:41 to Tai's 19:03.  Third place overall went to Heather Scarborough in a time of 20:47.  Third place for the men was Carlos Uribe -Bounos in 21:47.  Erin Stephens (21:57) and I (23:02) were the next two finishers taking second and third for the women. Full results from the 5k are here.
 
The post-race festivities are what separate this race from others.  The biggest draw is the huge, delicious macadamia nut pancakes that they serve at the end.  While everyone is enjoying those at large picnic tables, a local band plays Hawaiian tunes.  A silent auction also has prizes from local vendors for people to browse and bid on.  After everyone talks story, it's time for the awards, which are some of the best around.  The top three in each age group receive carved stone medallions, while the overall winners win huge carved stones, sometimes quite a surprise and packing challenge for non-local winners.

This year several friends won age groups awards, including:

Rick Rubio

Jon Kunitake

Ali Steiner

Lava People

If you missed it this year, definitely put this race on your calendar for next year!

Although this was the end of the weekend racing for me, several people did the Mac-a-thon/Carboman double, participating in Peaman's Carboman 10-mile Mosey, Roadrunner 3.5 mile Romp and Mighty Mouse Scamper on Easter Sunday morning.

Although the fields were smaller because of Easter, the times were still fast. Luis De La Torre took first place in the 10-mile distance.  Karlyn Pipes was the first finisher in the 1-mile distance, followed by a close race between Alec Ankrum and Duke Becker:

 Alec's dad, Adam, took first place in the 3.5 mile distance.

Since it was Easter morning, there were a lot of families out being active together:

Full results from the races are available here. Congratulations to everyone who participate in one (or more) of the races and events going on this past weekend. 

Tomorrow morning is the Captain Cook Challenge hosted by Team Mango.  The race starts with a 1-mile swim across Kealakekua Bay, followed by a 2-mile run/hike from the Captain Cook Monument to Napoopoo Road.  Next up is a 32-mile hilly bike ride, finished off with a 4-mile hot, hilly run.  Registrations are still being accepted today, but you need to be at the Rudy Project store on Alii Drive with your T1 bag by 7 p.m.!

February Recap - Part II

Valentine's Day popped up in the middle of February and with it came a bunch of races. (Part I of February's recap is available here.)

Sweetheart Shuffle 5K and 10K Relay

This event was hosted by, and was a fundraiser for, the Waverider Triathlon Club. These high school kids and their advisor Kristin Drost put on a great fun and different race.  Runners could complete the 5k individually or team up with their sweetheart for 10K relay.  Since I'm finally getting back into  running after that nagging plantar fasciitis, Jason and I decided this would be a fun run to try out. In addition to the fun relay aspect of the event, the race was held on the new mid-level road, which meant nice sidewalks, little to no traffic and a nice downhill finish.

I started off with the 5k runners and tried to keep pace with Leonard Torricer.  That didn't last very long, but I was happily able to keep him in sight for most of the race.  I was not, however, able to keep the first relay team's runner in sight - she was FAST! So we were second place in the relay when I tagged off to Jason, with John Ferdico and Ali Steiner not too far behind us.

Jason's been doing a lot of triathlon training, which means a lot of hours on the bike and not as many on the run.  So we had no idea if he'd be able to make up the over 2 minutes that the lead relay had on me. But as it turns out, he really likes to chase people down and managed to make up that time and more.  We finished the relay with a combined time of 41:29.

Terrific Turtle Trudge, Dragon Dash and Golden Fox Gallop
 
The next morning, runners gathered under rainy and overcast skies to tackle one of the two run-only Peaman races. 

Not your typical Kona weather

These races are measured in inches, with the Terrific Turtle Trudge taking 332,640 inches, the Dragon Dash covering 126,720 inches and Golden Fox Gallop running 63,360 inches. Thanks to Makena Becker who helped take pictures of this event while I was doing the timing. All of the photos are available here. Full results from the race are available here. 

In the Golden Fox Gallop, Elijah Hall (7:10) and Nophia Pintor (7:11) had quite the battle for first and second, with Elijah eeking out the win. 

Almost photo finish

Crowd support!

For the Dragon Dash, Daniel Hauanio blazed through in 15:51, while Lori Montgomery was the first female in 17:21.

In the Terrific Turtle Trudge, Chris Gregory was the first to cross the finish line with a time of 29:22.  Rani Henderson was first for the ladies in 32:29, while pushing her son Cole in a stroller - impressive!

Team Mango's Sprint Triathlon

Then yesterday, Team Mango hosted its third and final triathlon for the month of February, the Sprint Triathlon.  Distances for this race were a 1/3 mile swim, 15 mile bike down Alii Drive into the Pit and back and a 2-mile run loop past Huggo's.  JTL Timing was testing out new triathlon timing chips, so results look really official for this race and are available here. 

A new addition - a clock at the race! (Photo by Carl Koomoa)

While I wanted to participate in this race but still don't bike, I recruited one of our employees, Tyler La Salle to complete the bike portion for me.  I started off on the swim, which was short and chaotic with the amount of people in the water. But I made it out ok and tagged off to Tyler.

While waiting to start the run, I was able to observe quite a bit of the race. Thomas Vonach took first place overall with a time of 56:57.  Winona Chen was first for the ladies with a time of 1:06:58.  Andre Barbieri finished with an impressive time of 1:24:29, with several leg prosthesis changes along the way!

The Big Island Running Company team finished in 1:19:01 and had a great time! Thanks to Carl and all of the Team Mango volunteers for all their help in putting on these fun events!

Up this weekend is another Peaman event, Zoomin' Zak's Plunge and Plod Biathlon (1/2 mile swim and 3.9 mile run).  The event starts at 8:08 on Sunday, March 2 at the Kailua Pier. 

February's Recap - Part 1

Well, that New Year's Resolution of posting more frequently on the blog really went out the window... Since it's been a month since we posted anything, I'm going to try to do some brief recaps of the races that have happened since then, but I'm going to split it up into two posts (Part II is available here).

Peaman's Splish-Splash and Super Bowl Shuffle Biathlon

January's Peaman event was appropriately Super Bowl themed, with a 1/2 mile swim and 3.1 mile run.  Karlyn Pipes swam and ran away with the race, taking the overall title in 35:53. Tony Frost was the first male finisher in 36:47.  Full results from the race are available here. 

Super Bowl Sunday Races

Although Peaman's race was a Super Bowl theme, it was held the week before the actual Big Game.  On Super Bowl Sunday, Team Mango hosted their Springtime Triathlon and Jeff and Dana Strang hosted their annual Super Bowl Sunday Half Marathon and Pickup Runs.

Chris Gregory took the overall win in the 1/2 mile swim, 15 mile bike and 6 mile run of the Springtime Tri with a time of 1:28:57. Big Island Running Company's representative John Ferdico finished in 2:04:23. Full results are available at Team Mango's website.

Meanwhile, I took part in the Strang runs.  The half marathon distance run starts from Kua Bay and runs into town to Yoga Hale.  I did this run last year and it's a great way to run a different route - and they have water along the way! Since I'm not quite up to 13 mile distances yet this year, I opted for the 8 mile run from Kaiminani Drive into town.  Thanks to some great running partners (Chitwin, Ali and Jenny), it was a fun morning, with a faster than anticipated time (1:10).  Thanks to Jeff and Dana for hosting this fun run each year! Results are below:

Team Mango's Monster and Mini-Monster Triathlons

The following weekend was Team Mango's Monster and Mini-Monster Triathlons.  These have become a really popular event for people who want to train at longer distances. The Mini-Monster covers a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike and 13.1 mile run.  The Monster doubles those distances (covering the same amount of miles on much of the same course as the Ironman triathlon).  And as is typical, there were all kinds of relays, crazy distances and course records.  Full results are available here. 

This year, Sylvia Ravaglia captured the overall Monster distance title with a time of 12:02:10, setting a new course record and women's course record.  Cycle Station's John Howerton took second and first male in 12:21:30. First place in the Mini-Monster went to Cory McCord, racing for Dr. Monica Scheel Dermatology.  Ellyn Brown of Anchorage, Alaska was the first female Mini-Monster finisher.  

I was able to capture some shots of the athletes at the aid station behind Target on the run course, so here are some of those shots.

Thanks to Team Mango and all the volunteers who work so hard to make these training events possible. 

Part II will have updates from last weekend's Valentine's Day races and yesterday's Team Mango triathlon.

Thanksgiving Weekend Wrap-Up

There was so much going on over the Thanksgiving weekend that it was hard to keep track of it all. We've tried to compile the highlights and results here for you. We are so thankful for all the great opportunities we have on this island to be active and that so many people came out and took advantage of them!

9th Annual Wobble Gobble

We really enjoy the chance to offer this run on Walua Trail on Thanksgiving morning. This year over 280 people showed up to run either the 6.4 mile, 3.5 mile or 1 mile distance. But the most impressive thing is that they also brought with them 373 pounds of canned goods for the Hawaii Island Food Basket - over 200 pounds more than last year!

Results from the race are available here and more photos are available here.  Here are a couple of our favorites, though:

Keiki enjoying the run

In the 6.4 mile run, Garrett Prinslow took 1st place in 38:28.  For the ladies it was Rani Henderson taking first place (while pushing her son Cole in a stroller) in 44:18. In the 3.5 mile distance, Brooke Myers once again ran away from the field, finishing first overall for the second year in a row with a time of 23:26 and breaking her own course record in the process. Christopher "Atlas" Smith was second overall and the first male in 24:37.  Finally, for the 1-milers, Lawrence Barrett came in with a screaming time of 5:59 and Kristina Hamilton finished in 8:07 to win for the ladies.

The Wobble Gobble would not be possible without the help of our volunteers, who we are extremely appreciative of: Rich, Jolene and Ryan Mears provided the post-race refreshments; Larry and Laura Kniffin served as traffic control and aid station support; Kyra and Richard Bronson set up an aid station in front of their house; Jolene and Jacob Head and family also set up an aid station in front of their Keauhou Veterinary Clinic; Cary Aurand helped with signouts; Ali Steiner, Kimberly Madsen and John Ferdico assisted with course set-up; Chico helped pass out popsicle sticks and take pictures; Jennifer Stike's sons helped pass out medals to the keiki; and Leonard Torricer provided ice and pre and post-race support. Thanks again to all who came out and participated or volunteered!

6th Annual (Tri)ptophan Turkey Day Triathlon

For the 6th year in a row, Kym and Kris Kiser and their daughters hosted a triathlon on Thanksgiving morning down at the Kailua Pier. 100 people made it out there to race a 1/3 mile swim, 16 mile bike and 2 mile run. Coming in first was Tommy Vonach with a time of 58:26 and Jeni Winegarner was the women's champ in 1:04:48.

Full results from the race are available here. Thanks to the Kisers for taking the time out of their Thanksgiving Day to host this race!

Post Pigout Peamania

If either of those events weren't enough to work off your turkey, Peaman hosted the Post Pigout Peamania at the Kailua Pier on Sunday morning.  This race was aptly named, as there was definitely mania!  Peaticipants swam 1/4 mile and then ran a 2-mile loop before coming back and doing it all over again. Of course, as with any Peaman race, there were many variations - a shorter Peawee course which could be completed once or twice, relays, swimmers that didn't run and runners that didn't swim!

For some reason, the results didn't appear in the online version of West Hawaii Today, but a picture of the paper results are below (pull out your magnifying glasses)!

Tommy Vonach outran Luis De La Torre on the last run loop to take first place overall in 37:23.  Rani Henderson was first for the ladies in 44:26.  Jim McCleery and his wife, Big Island Running Company employee Maggie, took first place in the full course relay in 46:17, while Becky and David Aegler took first place in the Peawee relay with a time of 29:14.  The Peawee results encompass people who did anything less than the full distance, so includes people who did one loop of the long course or two loops of the short course or anything else.

Ultraman

The Peaman race was missing some of its best volunteers on Sunday - Dene Sturm and Doug Henbest.  That's because Dene was off conquering the longest endurance event on the island and Doug was part of her crew.  The Ultraman World Championships started on Friday morning with a 6.2 mile swim from Kailua Pier to Keauhou Bay.  Immediately after finishing that swim, participants hopped on their bikes for the 90 mile climb to Volcano.  After spending the night in Volcano, on Saturday they rode from Volcano all the way to Hawi (approximately 170 miles).  One more night's sleep and then it was time for the run from Hawi into Kona on Sunday - a double marathon or 52.4 miles.

In addition to Dene (who finished with a total time of 33:34:34), other local athletes to complete the race this year were Jason Nixon in 32:18:00 and Laurie Beers in 34:15:33.  Congratulations to them and all the other Ultraman finishers. Full results from the race are available here.

Recent Race Results!

Over the past several weeks, there have been plenty of last-minute training events in preparation for Ironman. On September 8, there were three races almost simultaneously that captured the attention of most of the athletes on the island.

The crowd watching the Peaman race.

First off was the Run for Hope 5k/10k at the Four Seasons Hualalai.  This is a gorgeous race through the grounds of Hualalai, but it's not easy between the heat and the hills.  Of course at the end, there's always a delicious post-race breakfast that included mimosas and bloody marys this year.  And proceeds from this race benefit cancer research here on the Big Island!  This year Justin Butler and Nicole Vedelli won the 5k race, while Jason and Sara Bloom won the 10k race.  Full results from the races are available at JTL Timing's website. 

About an hour after that race, biathletes gathered at the Kailua Pier for Peaman's Wee and DLT Biathlon, a 3/4 mile swim and 3.9 mile run.  Makena Becker was there and took some photos, so we actually have photos in this post!  Unfortunately I don't have a link to any results those, since I was never able to locate them on West Hawaii Today's website.  (They did appear in the print version on Tuesday, I believe).

Pablo Ureta (below) took first place over Luis De La Torre (the "DLT" honoree of the race), while Jennifer Stabrylla took first place for the ladies.

 

In the Peawee division, Duke Becker sprinted to a super fast finish to take first place - he's heading into transition in the photo below.

One of our employees, Maggie McCleery (below), represented us well as she teamed up with her super fast swimmer husband Jim for the Split Pea division. If you haven't met Maggie yet, you can generally find her at our Alii Drive store on Saturday mornings and Sunday afternoons (and likely a bit more over the coming weeks as Ironman approaches)!

As usual, Peaman was there, showing his excitement about the start of football season again, and cruised to the finish line with Helgi Olafson.

More photos from the Peaman race are available here.


Finally that morning was the Big Island Road Runners' Hilo Bay 5k/10k on the Hilo side of the island. In the 5k, Patrick Baker and Ada Brown took first place, while Chris Gregory and Angie Miyashiro won the 10k.  Full results are posted below:
