The Settle Running Company has posted the results from last weekend’s Bridle Trails. I’ve already covered the 50K results in a previous post. But, I’ve not mentioned the 5.2 mile or 10.4 mile results.
Seems as though my wife’s 5.2 mile record fell this year to Claire Hoffman who spent the fall running cross country races for Eastside Runners. Claire became the first woman to break 36 minutes, running 35:52 and beating the next woman by over a minute. On the men’s side, Kevin Guiberson ran away with the easy victory in 31:09, more than 3 minutes ahead of second place finisher Scott Sedlik. I believe this is the same Kevin Guiberson who is the Inglemoor High School (Kenmore, WA) school record holder in the 800m [he ran a 1:53.26 800m back in 1987]. Awesome to see Kevin still at it and chalking up wins.
In the 10.4 mile race, James Moore actually tied the course record (don’t see that too often, especially at a trail race). James ran 1:00:23 to tie Andrew Edick’s course record from 2007. Trish Steidl broke the women’s course record (formerly held by Laura Gould) by more than 3 minutes winning easily in 1:10:27. I expected this outcome when I saw Trish was signed up for he 10.4 miler, and figured I’d have to battle her to the finish. Unfortunately, I was sick and didn’t get to run this year…but, I’m sure Trish will have another opportunity to kick my butt in another race this year 
Congrats to all of the winners and all of the runners. And, thanks to Seattle Running Company for once again putting on an awesome event.
