Teva US Mountain Team member Suzy West finished second in 1:08:34 breaking the masters record by 6 minutes! Donna Smyth finished 3rd in 1:15:03. In spite of running the race the day before the Pack Monadnock race, Kearsarge still attracted 121 runners - not the fewest in the history of the race. http://www.runningintheusa.com/res03/zmtk0531.html On Sunday, 189 runners braved the rain, fog and cool temps to run to the summit of Pack Monadnock from Wilton, NH. First time Pack runner and CMS member Rod Veins won the race in 1:06:15 (the slowest winning time ever). Rod was followed by Dave Herr in 1:07:13 and Richard Bolt in 1:07:53. Rod, Dave and Richard were the first of many runners to enjoy a pick-me-up thanks to the Red Bull Mobile Energy Team who drove to the summit to hand out free cans of Red Bull. Suzy West won the women's race in 1:18:39 followed by Sheryl Wheeler in 1:23:52 and Laurie Gaudreau in 1:24:08. http://www.coolrunning.com/results/03/ma/Jun1_PackMo_set1.shtml This weekend is the USATF New England Mountain Running Championships at Northfield, MA (Saturday, June 7, 2003 @ 8:00 AM).
