2005 Starter Photo (minus the host, he must be behind the camera)

Seven souls turned up good and early for the first running of the Monty. We all ran the short course today.

Ludo did an amazing job and romped home in a blistering 2:25:28. He was gamely pursued by Peter Erickson of Ocean River. Unfortunately, Peter rolled an ankle trying to catch the flying Frenchman. He had 2:35:33 on his clock. Third man in was Pano Skrivanos of IRR. He was telling me about his runs on Mt. Newton. He hung with Geoff and I for the first two hours and when I told him we had 30 mins. to go he switched into the more anaerobic stuff that he trains for so well at the track... and bounded off on the down run to the finish in 2:41:36. Geoff and I seem to have formed a bond ever since I nearly met my maker the other day at his Fluffy Bunny event. We rolled up to the finish line bridge in 2:45:20. Lindsay was kind enough to run sweep today. She and Doug Bodnar came in at 3 hours.

Doug got an extra few points for picking up an empty beer bottle from the park. Thanks Doug! He said that he was looking all the time for trash and couldn't find any. The irony was that as we walked down to the Lake that's where he found it!

The swim was great. Ludo is still there on his towel reading his book.

The trophy winners today were Ludo for a course record and first male, Lindsay for first female and super-sweep/trail guide. Thanks Lindsay and yes, we all had a good time.

I took a whack of pic's with my throw away camera, but they will take a few days to process.(old school film.) Life is real good!
