In this week's message:
+ Thursday run: Mt. Falcon - time trial
+ Other weekly runs: Tue & Wed mornings, Sat ERC
+ Saturday long run: Burning Bear and South Park Trail
+ Relay Runners Needed
+ Race Volunteers needed
+ Carpooling to runs/races
+ Trail Races, clinics and other upcoming events


This Thursday's run is at Mt. Falcon (T=3, P=5, N=2; BMms) trails. The
main group will start at 6:15pm; the early group meets at 5:30pm.
After the run, everyone is invited to come to dinner with us. We pick
a nearby location at the end of the run.

I know that it's hot. I plan (not guaranteed) to stash some water at
the top of the time trial course.

The time trial is 2.5mi, uphill, 1,500' vertical. We handicap the
starts for the time trial. Slower runners start first; everyone
finishes at about the same time. Then, at the top, we do a slow, group
run together before returning to the bottom. If you ran the time trial
in May, I will have a start time for you. You can use a time from past
years. Or, you can estimate your time from a recent 10k. Use the link
below for more info.


If you are new to the group or unfamiliar with the run locations and
rating, please go to http://dtr.runuphillracing.com/Maps/ for driving
directions, running routes, trail ratings, or other information about the group.
Please read and bring a printout of the maps and route descriptions.

Tue morning runs continue at South Table Mtn (T=3, P=2, N=4) on
Tuesday mornings, 5:15am. Please see the message posted on Mondays, or
contact Ray: r2grundmeyer@....

Wed mornings, run stairs at Red Rocks. This is a "show-and-go"
workout, meaning that just start whenever you show up. People have
been starting anywhere from 5:30-6:30am.

Wed mornings, every other week, join Derek Griffith for a long run
near Ken Caryl. He starts at his house, 28 Tecoma Circle, at 6:30am,
and runs for up to 2 hours, 12-15 miles. Contact Derek for more
information, derek@...

This Saturday's Evergreen Runners Circle (ERC) is at Elk Meadow, lower
lot. The ERC runs are typically about 60 minutes long. They usually go
out for coffee/breakfast afterwards. Please forward your questions to
Dave via the ERC link below. For more info about the ERC schedules, go
to: http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Lodge/7018/index.html

Schedule:

Join us for a long run in the high country this Saturday. We will meet
at the Fort Restaurant, in Morrison, at 6:30am, then carpool ~45 mi up
to the Geneva Park, Bruno Gulch area, on the south side of Guanella
Pass. The main loop is 18-20 mi, with ~4,000' of climbing. There are
shorter and longer options, as well as some good single track mountain
biking. For more info go to
http://races.runuphillracing.com/BurnBear.html

Please let me know if you are interested in participating in this run.
It's not required, but will help give me an idea of who and how many
people are coming. Send a message to me at info@...

Team Freakin Idiots needs additional runners for their Wild West Relay
team. See race details below. If interested, or for questions, contact
Jess LaVigne, jsobo5@....

Relay races are a lot of fun. You spend 24 hours or so, running and
driving through the mountains, with other tired runners. You can be
seriously competitive; you can be casual; you can have both on the
same team. There are a couple of good events in Colorado:

8/19-20; Wild West Relay; Ft. Collins to Steamboat Springs; 195 miles;
directed by a sometime DTR member Paul Vanderheiden. Teams of 12 with
each person running three separate 5-6 mile legs. Ultra teams of 6
with each person running a single 30-35 mi leg. This is held on the
full moon. www.wildwestrelay.com, wwr@...

9/16-17; Colorado Outward Bound Relay; Idaho Springs to Glenwood
Springs; 170 miles. 10 and 5 person teams. www.coloradorelay.com

Interested in forming a team with other DenverTrailRunners for an
upcoming relay? Do you already have a team that is looking for
additional runners? If interested in forming a team, please send me a
note. We'll need someone to volunteer to "lead" the teams. That means
being the contact person and organizing the other runners and drivers.
You can use the DTR message to help recruit team members. I am not
able to do the relays this year, although I have done the Colorado
Relay before.

I need some help at my upcoming Twilight Trail Series races on 7/27
and 8/3. Contact me at info@..., 303-870-0487. Race

Save gas. Save money. It's more fun to go with a group. Send me a note
if interested in carpooling to any upcoming events. I'll try to help
you find a driving partner. info@...
