October 6, 2007 Results

Rain, Rain, go away;  come again another day.

But it’s the Pacific NW, and any day can find measurable precipitation.  Those who came to Baker Lake for the 6th running of this event found some showers, but a nice temperature (mid-40’s throughout the day), warm company, and hot soup at the finish.  The volunteers were awesome, helping keep the runners interested in finishing, and enjoying the day.  The Subway sandwiches and frappuccinos refueled tired bodies and enabled sore legs to crawl into cars to travel home at the end of a hard day.

The USFS deserves a gold medal for all their efforts to clear the East Bank Trail from the results of the November, 2006 storm.  Working throughout the summer, and right up until the day before the run, USFS employees and volunteers did a terrific job enabling runners to complete their journey obstacle free.

Alex Swenson ran the men’s race uncontested, although the next 7 places found some interesting and competitive jockeying.  The women’s race was between Brie Hyslop and Wendy Wheeler-Jacobs, but since they were in different age groups, both were able to take home a Montana transplanted Baker Bear.

Another Baker Lake 50K in the books, and one more runner added to the Baker Lake Hall of Fame:  Stanley Nakashima.  Stan also volunteers to trailsweep every year, enabling other runners to pass the ribbons with exuberance, while Stan reaches to pull them down.  Thanks Stan, for all your efforts.  And all the rest of the volunteers who contributed, in the most humble way.  You made it possible for all of us.
