Canaan Mountain Run - Davis, WV November 19, 2005 It was a fine day for a run in mountains of Tucker County. Cool temps, sunny skies and some beautiful rocky trails made for a good day. The fun was not without a couple of falls and sprains, but food, brews and birthday cake made at all well again. <== Dan Lehmann, Willie Lehmann, Jesse Silver, Cindy Kelley (crewer extraordinaire), Tony Morris, Jody Lehmann, Steve Hite, Dan Todd, Bill Potts, Gary Smith, Jennifer Cochran and Molly.

Great Eastern Endurance Run 50k & 100k Lew McGrath proudly wears his 100k 2nd Place Men Patagonia prize shirt, tag and all. Lew was feeling pretty puny at the start, even Lehmann was in front of him till mile 18 if you can believe that! But Lew got well and finished strong in 12:24:29. Lehmann came in 10th with 13:05:04. Check out the complete results where top 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place Overall went to the ladies, Annette Bednosky, Kami Semik, and Jenn Shelton. Bill Potts took 11th overall in the 50k running a 6:02:01.
Then he and Sophie spent the rest of the afternoon cheering on the 100k
runners. |

North Fork Mountain Trail Run |

This 4th annual trip
to Seneca Rocks continues to be one of our favorite gatherings. The dry,
rocky beauty and incredible vistas of North Fork Mountain, and the camp
camaraderie make for a memorable weekend. We had a great turn out with 40
runners and a total of 65 with family and friends.
This year we were joined by many of our VHTRC friends and other guests from WV, MD, NC and VA. The weather was the warmest to date, most thought too warm. The course, with its' single aid station, requires runners to carry adequate fluids. The hot conditions left several folks finishing a little thirsty and a bit dehydrated. Many opted to cool down in the headwaters of the Potomac...it's nice and clean up here. Race reports welcome as usual. Check out the two groups of photos at Photo Gallery. |

August 11, 2005 The Copperhead Ridge Runners Rick, Joe , Eric & Matt took a day off running to climb the Via Feratta on Nelson Rocks. These rocks are more of the "river knobs" like Seneca Rocks and are located just south of of them along Germany Valley. I guess this qualifies as extreme cross training. < It's a fer piece down to that swinging bridge. Last year there was 3 day adventure race that utilized the Via Feratta on part of the course. |

July 16 at Joel 's Fayetteville Had a nice run from the Fayetteville City Park down in to the New River Gorge National Park. Did a 15 mile loop on trails and woods roads. Passed the old Kaymoor Mine. Jody and Donnie even went paddling down at Fayette Station beneath the bridge after the run. Joel does need to invest in a water bottle though.

Highlands Trainer April 23, 2005 With threats of yet another spring storm on the way, we
set off. Partly sunny skies provided nice running for a couple of hours.
Then, above 4000', it got interesting with gusty winds and blowing, freezing
rain/sleet. We finished in the late afternoon before the real snow
hit.....12" by Sunday morning. |

THE RIVANNA RING Needless to say that Saturday's run in Charlottesville, VA was a bit wet. Run organizers Sophie Speidel and Bill Potts said that the day before there were sections under 10 feet of water. The Virginia Happy Trails Club hosted the run and invited us to come on over. There were about 8 WVMTR runners and a total of around 50. This was a fun run and certainly not a race, BUT ..........
congratulations go to John Reynolds for finishing first! |
