Welcome back to the Steep Stuff Podcast.
00:00:02.686 --> 00:00:08.869
I'm your host, james Lauriello, and today we are back with the Sub Stuff, episode 7.
00:00:08.869 --> 00:00:10.493
So happy to bring that to you guys.
00:00:10.493 --> 00:00:19.070
I know it's been a couple week layoff, or else last week would have been Episode 7, but I was away at my wedding in the San Juans having the time of my life.
00:00:19.070 --> 00:00:23.407
So here we are still having the time of my life, bringing you Sub stuff, episode seven.
00:00:23.407 --> 00:00:28.045
And boy oh boy, do we have a lot to catch up on, guys.
00:00:28.045 --> 00:00:28.926
Um, we.
00:00:29.047 --> 00:00:39.481
First of all, we have results of two us mountain running champs one in the uphill, um, so like the vk distance, and one in the um up down us mountain running championships.
00:00:39.481 --> 00:00:43.451
One took place at loon mountain race and one took place at cirque series snowbird.
00:00:43.451 --> 00:00:46.262
Uh, cirque series snowbird, cirque Series Snowbird was actually last weekend.
00:00:46.262 --> 00:01:02.551
We also have some results from the Cordillera Cordillera man, I butchered that word Blanca Sky Race for taking place in Peru on the Sky Running World Series, as well as the Kendall Mountain Run, as well as results from Mount Marathon.
00:01:02.551 --> 00:01:08.709
We're also going to talk a little bit about some races coming up this weekend, most notably the Speedcoat 50K and 28K.
00:01:08.709 --> 00:01:11.888
So, without further ado, let's get into it.
00:01:12.801 --> 00:01:14.266
I think I'm going to start off with Loon.
00:01:14.266 --> 00:01:18.189
It took place two Sundays ago, july 7th.
00:01:18.189 --> 00:01:24.790
Loon Mountain Race was the US vertical you can say uphill, you can say vertical mountain running championship.
00:01:24.790 --> 00:01:27.828
The race itself took place in Lincoln, new Hampshire.
00:01:27.828 --> 00:01:33.793
It was about 6.03 miles with about 3,066 feet of vertical.
00:01:33.793 --> 00:01:40.132
The top two men and women, were the ones that were selected to go compete overseas.
00:01:40.900 --> 00:01:42.066
There were some storylines here.
00:01:42.066 --> 00:01:46.019
Just the depth of the field man.
00:01:46.019 --> 00:01:50.802
There was, just like so many incredible athletes, one of the greatest, if that the greatest, of all time, mr joseph gray, showed up to race.
00:01:50.802 --> 00:02:07.468
Uh, we had some killers on both the men's and women's side, including, but most notably, lauren gregory, john aziz, amber zimmerman, rachel tomziak, the great andy wacker um, check out episode 17 of the Steep Stuff podcast if you're interested in learning a little more about Andy Wacker.

We also had Grant Cooligan, garrett Corcoran and just some wild boys showed up.
00:02:14.308 --> 00:02:17.409
So this was a really, really fun race up in New Hampshire.
00:02:19.281 --> 00:02:26.469
We're going to get into races now, or we're going to kind of get into results now and talk about just some of the storylines that took place there.
00:02:26.469 --> 00:02:27.192
We'll start with the women.
00:02:27.192 --> 00:02:32.312
In first place was Ms Lauren Gregory, a Nike Trail athlete from Hanover, new Hampshire.
00:02:32.312 --> 00:02:37.731

00:02:37.731 --> 00:02:42.971
In second place was Meryl Runner, rachel Tomciak, in 54 minutes 58 seconds.

00:03:11.794 --> 00:03:18.835
So big shout out to these female athletes showed up to throw down a very tight spread between a first to eighth place.
00:03:18.835 --> 00:03:22.605
Uh, only about less than four minutes between first and eighth.
00:03:22.605 --> 00:03:23.889
So incredibly competitive.
00:03:23.889 --> 00:03:24.610

If you guys are looking for something to do on the East coast, um, you know, check out.
00:05:45.788 --> 00:05:47.271
I think it was three, six or six.
00:05:47.271 --> 00:05:51.964
Three endurance, uh, that Tom operates um and the Loon mountain race.
00:05:51.964 --> 00:05:53.468
They also do the Sunupy scramble.
00:05:53.468 --> 00:06:02.069
Um, that was the host of the and they were the host of the uh Sunupy up down and vertical races that were the U S championships in uh 2023.
00:06:02.410 --> 00:06:10.995
So, all right, guys, we're going to move on and we're going to get to Cirque series, snowbird what an absolute banger of a race.
00:06:10.995 --> 00:06:19.130
As
well, a U S mountain running championship took place last Saturday, july 13th 2024, and snowbird, utah.
00:06:19.130 --> 00:06:25.391
Snowbird is also the home of the speed goat 50 K which, coincidentally, is going to be taking place on the 20th.
00:06:25.391 --> 00:06:32.814
We're going to talk about that a little bit later in this preview slash breakdown of some of the races that we had.
00:06:32.959 --> 00:06:45.086
So the course itself if you guys are unaware, if you haven't listened to me in the past, this course is about 8.7 miles, so a little bit less than nine miles with 3,600 feet, so 3,610 feet of vertical.
00:06:45.086 --> 00:06:53.170
Uh, we top out twice over 11,000 feet on top of Mount Baldy as well as hidden peak, so kind of a little prelude.
00:06:53.170 --> 00:06:56.887
Just like a light version of a of speed goat, almost.
00:06:56.887 --> 00:06:59.733
So just like a more mountainy speed goat.
00:06:59.733 --> 00:07:04.166
Um, just absolute killers on both sides of the course.
00:07:04.267 --> 00:07:07.829
I mean, oh my God, in the men's and women's we had, we had Grayson Murphy.
00:07:07.829 --> 00:07:14.913
Um, I think she, before winning this, I think she had had four national titles overall for herself.
00:07:14.913 --> 00:07:17.524
Um, on the female side, rachel Tomjiak.
00:07:17.524 --> 00:07:24.608
We had Alexa Aragon, mk Sullivan, giselle Slotboom, annie Cornish just like so many killers on the female side.
00:07:24.608 --> 00:07:33.211

00:07:33.211 --> 00:07:36.348
He's also one of the best in the United States on the mountain running scene.
00:07:36.348 --> 00:07:37.411
Guy is an animal.
00:07:37.411 --> 00:07:42.831
Mr Cam Smith, schemo athlete as well as stud, ultra runner or, excuse me, trail runner.
00:07:42.831 --> 00:07:53.103
Cole Campbell, david Kennedy and just so many absolute insane athletes turned out to this.
00:07:53.103 --> 00:07:53.576
So a big shout out to Cirque series.
00:07:53.576 --> 00:07:54.511
They finally got a U S mountain running championship.
00:07:54.411 --> 00:07:56.584
If you guys have never researched series races, there's so much fun.
00:07:56.584 --> 00:07:57.466
Um, it's.
00:07:57.466 --> 00:08:03.011
It's really the mountain classic in a lot of ways, and if you're unfamiliar with what a mountain classic is, it could be an up down.
00:08:03.011 --> 00:08:06.079
And if you're unfamiliar with what a mountain classic is, it could be an up down.
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:14.173
It's usually in that six to eight mile distance range with about, you know, 17, 19 to about 3000 feet of vertical could be, you know.
00:08:14.173 --> 00:08:16.120
So basically up and down in that like 10 K plus range.
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.401
So much fun you are.
00:08:18.401 --> 00:08:23.992
You are killing yourself from start to finish red lining and it is just my kind of
race.
00:08:23.992 --> 00:08:26.007
So so much fun and big congrats.
00:08:26.007 --> 00:08:29.975
We finally got one of these out in uh, in Utah as well, so in the mountain West.
00:08:29.975 --> 00:08:33.572
A lot of times in the past we've had these races on the East coast, um.
00:08:33.572 --> 00:08:40.471
So it's really fun to finally get one of these championships on the West coast, uh, or slash mountain West, if you will, um so.
00:08:40.491 --> 00:08:41.604
So some things to talk about here.
00:08:41.604 --> 00:08:42.809
We're going to get into the results.
00:08:42.809 --> 00:08:43.011

00:08:43.011 --> 00:08:45.764
In.
00:08:45.783 --> 00:08:47.448
First place was miss Grayson Murphy.
00:08:47.448 --> 00:08:51.341
A big shout out to Grayson for showing up and absolutely dominating.
00:08:51.341 --> 00:09:05.572
Uh, she was pretty vocal after the race that you know she'd been struggling with a lot of health issues and just amazing, what an amazing effort to be able to come through when her fifth national title and be able to pull this off in one hour 36 minutes 17 seconds.
00:09:05.572 --> 00:09:10.130
And second place was miss Rachel Tomciak again, so that's doubling.
00:09:10.130 --> 00:09:16.092
So she competed at Loon the week before and doubled and came back and got second place this week as well.
00:09:16.092 --> 00:09:18.067
So that's making two national teams.
00:09:18.067 --> 00:09:25.748
So, miss Rachel Tomciak, meryl Runner, big congratulations to her, getting it done in one hour 40 minutes and 23 seconds.

And fourth place was Alexa Aragon and one hour 40 minutes 46 seconds.
00:09:41.250 --> 00:09:44.044

Rachel, laurel and Alexa were pretty much right on top of one another.
00:09:47.140 --> 00:09:54.205

00:12:02.082 --> 00:12:03.304
So look at her go.
00:12:03.304 --> 00:12:04.326
I mean, this is insane.
00:12:04.326 --> 00:12:07.373
Um, also, rachel tomjiak.
00:12:07.373 --> 00:12:09.465
Big shout out to rachel merrill runner.
00:12:09.465 --> 00:12:11.451
This is a back to back weekend for her.
00:12:11.451 --> 00:12:17.168
Like I said, she competed at Loon and now she came back and competed at Cirque series, snowbird taking place second place.
00:12:17.168 --> 00:12:21.892
So podiums on both in two weeks back to back and making two us teams.
00:12:21.892 --> 00:12:23.647
So big congratulations to Rachel.
00:12:23.647 --> 00:12:27.788
That's absolutely incredible results and just so such range to be able to do both.
00:12:27.788 --> 00:12:33.370
Um, you know there's a lot that can go wrong there, so being able to make it go right is just pretty impressive.
00:12:34.153 --> 00:12:38.589
Um, some other takeaways Mr Hawk call, I would say, is now forced to be reckoned with.
00:12:38.589 --> 00:12:40.681
Uh, watch out for
Hawk call.
00:12:40.681 --> 00:12:42.243
Uh, the pride of Orem Utah.
00:12:42.243 --> 00:12:43.164
Just like Christian Allen.
00:12:43.164 --> 00:12:47.150
Um, this kid has a future, big future in the sport.
00:12:47.150 --> 00:12:48.332
So pretty cool.
00:12:48.332 --> 00:12:54.029
Uh, it's going to be exciting to see what he can do over the next uh, over his career as he starts to take off.
00:12:54.029 --> 00:12:59.600
Um, as well as Christian Allen might just be one of the best trail runners in the world right now, and probably is.
00:12:59.600 --> 00:13:03.890
I mean it's just absolutely dismantled the field and take first overall in this race.
00:13:03.890 --> 00:13:07.065
Uh, mr Christian Allen has arrived and he's not going anywhere.
00:13:07.065 --> 00:13:09.009
So congratulations to Christian.
00:13:09.009 --> 00:13:09.870
Pretty exciting.
00:13:09.870 --> 00:13:15.160
Um, you know, I'll be excited to see what he can do um in racing in Europe this year.
00:13:15.160 --> 00:13:16.926
I think he's going to be at series and all.
00:13:16.926 --> 00:13:19.072
I'm not sure I want to look into that.
00:13:19.072 --> 00:13:28.129
All right, so, moving on from Cirque series, snowbird want to just congratulate all the amazing men and women athletes that competed um at theS Mountain Running Champs.
00:13:28.129 --> 00:13:29.191
So big congrats.
00:13:37.059 --> 00:13:39.765
Moving on to the Codora Cora de la Ria Blanca Sky Race that took place a few weeks back, july 7th 2024.
00:13:39.765 --> 00:13:42.191
This was one of the stops on the Skyrunner World Series.
00:13:42.191 --> 00:13:48.922
I definitely did not want to gloss over this race, so I just wanted to give a quick little shout out and a little rundown on kind of what took place.
00:13:48.922 --> 00:13:55.653
We could talk about the one through 10 on both the men and women's side, as well as talking about this race overall.
00:13:55.653 --> 00:13:56.355
Pretty sick.
00:13:56.355 --> 00:14:04.714
Big shout out to Rio and Benjamin Townsend, some local Colorado Springs athletes that went out to compete there, as well as some friends of the pod.
00:14:06.061 --> 00:14:08.448
Yeah, just just a really hard race.
00:14:08.448 --> 00:14:09.422
I mean the top.
00:14:09.422 --> 00:14:15.885
The high point of this race was 14 435 feet, so that's like an average elevation of like 4 400 meters.
00:14:15.885 --> 00:14:30.191
Um, the race itself was about 22.5k with about 1362 meters of vertical, so it's only about 4 468 feet for about a you know, a little bit less than a half marathon distance, but still just a bananas elevation.
00:14:30.191 --> 00:14:35.625
So you're starting out at about a little bit over 10,000 feet and climbing up a 14er.
00:14:35.625 --> 00:14:43.166
It's kind of an up-down race so you'll hit the high point kind of in the middle of the race and it's just a huge ascent in the first half and a huge ascent in the second half.
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:47.383
It looks like the Peruvians
no surprise there showed up in a big way.
00:14:47.383 --> 00:14:49.769
We can talk about the men's side.
00:14:49.769 --> 00:15:02.692

What a stacked race.
00:16:12.142 --> 00:16:27.143
Um, you know, just just a crazy, crazy, crazy uh race just going up to 14,000 feet, just bananas, all right, there's some little more uh name recognition, I'd say um, from some of the more international athletes in the women's race.
00:16:27.143 --> 00:16:29.086
I think that was a little bit more fun to follow along.
00:16:29.846 --> 00:16:40.230
In first place was Karina Carciolo, the black diamond runner from Mexico, winning to overall for the women Excuse me taking the dub in two hours 37 minutes 19 seconds.

Just a really inspiring athlete.
00:17:02.307 --> 00:17:06.510

Well, we did the preview episode for Kendall mountain run, so I'm just going to do a really quick little rundown of the results as well.
00:18:34.818 --> 00:18:44.941
The Kendall mountain run, if you're unfamiliar with it or if you're an international listener, is a Colorado based race takes place in Silverton, colorado, Every year is the first weekend after the 4th of July, the week before hard rock.
00:18:44.941 --> 00:18:46.041

00:18:46.041 --> 00:18:48.825
This year took place on Sunday, july 7th 2024.
00:18:48.825 --> 00:19:04.868
In silverton, colorado, starting at about an elevation of about 9 300 ish feet, running up to about 13 066 feet, um on the kind of the lookout point of kendall mountain, which is a notable 13 er in colorado, kind of an iconic peak.
00:19:04.868 --> 00:19:05.871
Um.
00:19:05.871 --> 00:19:07.855
Three former champions ran this race.
00:19:07.855 --> 00:19:10.606
We had cam smith, seth demore and noah williams.
00:19:10.606 --> 00:19:15.993

00:19:22.348 --> 00:19:29.931
We also crowned a new women's champ this this year, which was pretty exciting, um, and yeah, so we can kind of get into the course as well.
00:19:29.951 --> 00:19:36.989
Like I said, about 12 miles and the we go up about 3,300, maybe more feet or so, so it's really fun.
00:19:36.989 --> 00:19:39.474
It's on a steep fire road so it's fast.
00:19:39.474 --> 00:19:40.645
You know it's going to be speedy.
00:19:40.645 --> 00:19:48.028
Um, if you're good at altitude and you got a little scramble at the top, um, you can definitely get some some pretty fast RPMs in this race.
00:19:48.028 --> 00:19:49.932
Uh, we can start out with the females.
00:19:50.413 --> 00:19:54.278

00:20:35.553 --> 00:20:38.069
Great, and I feel like I talk about this guy in every top 10.
00:20:38.069 --> 00:20:43.909
Mr cam smith, what an animal taking the dub in one hour 40 minutes 16 seconds.

Not as fast as time here, but not too bad, not, not too, not too shabby, getting it done against some absolute studs.

Um, I was just in Silverton this past weekend and just uh, you know, kind of spectating hard rock and just hanging out and man, just what a special place to be.
00:22:26.106 --> 00:22:29.336

Don't go, because we don't.
00:22:35.707 --> 00:22:36.670
We don't want too many people there.
00:22:36.670 --> 00:22:36.990

00:24:01.436 --> 00:24:05.834
Brighton, comes back a week later to Mount Marathon, I don't even know.
00:24:05.834 --> 00:24:09.590
I think this is fourth, third or fourth, maybe fifth title, I don't even know.
00:24:09.590 --> 00:24:16.747
By the way, when he won his first time around and took the course record, he took it off Killian Jornet.
00:24:16.747 --> 00:24:17.930
This guy is so talented.
00:24:17.930 --> 00:24:24.993
So big shout out to David Norris taking the dub and a new course record of Mount Marathon in 40 minutes 37 seconds.
00:24:24.993 --> 00:24:30.329
In second place was none other than legend, mr Max King in 42.54.
00:24:30.329 --> 00:24:34.655
In third place was Jesse McAlvery in 4402.
00:24:34.655 --> 00:24:41.371
And fourth place was the pride of Manitou Springs, mr Ali Papalan, in 4441.
00:24:41.371 --> 00:24:45.699
And fifth place was his brother, I believe, bodie gross, in 4454.
00:24:45.699 --> 00:24:47.612
Big shout out to Ali and Bodie.
00:24:47.792 --> 00:24:57.827
These guys, I mean, I saw them in the off season almost like on a multiple weekly basis, just like doing workouts on the magnitude incline.
00:24:57.827 --> 00:25:01.237
These guys are so fit, so fast and just putting in so much hard work.
00:25:01.237 --> 00:25:16.094
So and and you know, I want to give a shout out to I think believe it's their father as well, dorian gross as well just such hard work these guys were putting in and it was just really cool to be able to get inspired by that when I was in my off season this past year as well.
00:25:16.094 --> 00:25:20.722
I'm just kind of watching them just do workouts on the incline and and seeing what they were doing.
00:25:20.722 --> 00:25:22.827
It was just something special, like you knew that they were.
00:25:22.827 --> 00:25:24.050
They had something.
00:25:24.050 --> 00:25:26.017
You know they're cooking something up.
00:25:26.017 --> 00:25:32.932
So they had a little, they tested things it seemed like at Broken Arrow and then came out to marathon and just absolutely shut shit down.
00:25:32.932 --> 00:25:34.875
So congrats to these boys.
00:25:34.976 --> 00:25:35.836
Fourth and fifth place.
00:25:35.836 --> 00:25:39.489
It won't be long before they're winning the race, so big shout out to Ali and Bodie.
00:25:39.489 --> 00:25:42.516
Um, yeah, so that's Mount marathon.
00:25:42.516 --> 00:25:43.657
What an awesome race.
00:25:43.657 --> 00:25:45.372
Pretty, pretty solid, pretty sweet.
00:25:45.372 --> 00:25:46.938
Um, yeah.
00:25:46.938 --> 00:25:51.852
So I'm just going to kind of get into what's going on this this upcoming week, not going to get too crazy.
00:25:51.852 --> 00:25:59.112
I just really want to talk about Speed Goat and that's going to be taking place this Saturday, 7-20-2024.
00:25:59.512 --> 00:26:05.689
The Speed Coat 50K in Snowbird, utah one of the hardest, if not the hardest, 50k in the States.
00:26:05.689 --> 00:26:12.329
When I say hard, I say 31 miles with 11,000, almost 12,000 feet of vertical pretty wild.
00:26:12.329 --> 00:26:15.837
The field this year is going to be absolutely stacked.
00:26:15.837 --> 00:26:19.132
We're not doing a course preview for it, but I might throw a little something out there.
00:26:19.132 --> 00:26:22.332
We can talk about the women's side.
00:26:22.332 --> 00:26:23.931
The women's side is absolutely stacked.
00:26:23.931 --> 00:26:40.196
Miss Brittany Charbonneau, the pride of Denver, colorado and North Face Athlete, is going to be out there to throw down, as well as MK Sullivan, jazz Lothar, my teammate, kelly Wolfe from the La Sportiva team, molly Noyes, juliette Soule and Emileze Van Avis.
00:26:41.205 --> 00:26:46.554
On the men's side, we're going to have another rematch between Adam Peterman and David Sinclair.
00:26:46.554 --> 00:26:48.613
I think this will be the third one.
00:26:48.613 --> 00:26:58.696
David Sinclair beat Adam Peterman at the Broken Arrow 46K this year, whereas Adam Peterman beat David Sinclair at the 2022 canyons 100 K.
00:26:58.696 --> 00:27:02.955
So it's going to be fun, for uh, see a little tiebreaker here between Adam and David.
00:27:02.955 --> 00:27:06.898
Um, we're also going to have David or, excuse me, david Sinclair, chad Hall.
00:27:06.898 --> 00:27:14.198
Uh, ryan Becker is going to be showing up, the pride of telluride and none other than Mr David Hedges.

00:27:18.928 --> 00:27:21.393
Uh, just had a pretty solid race and meet the minotaur.
00:27:21.393 --> 00:27:27.537
So I this, this is his jam, his kind of race, kind of the the reigning nolan's um nolan's 14 record holder.
00:27:27.537 --> 00:27:30.586
We're also going to have zachary gardner coming out.
00:27:30.586 --> 00:27:33.192
Um, really fit guy um.
00:27:33.192 --> 00:27:35.718
I believe Zach Gardner just won the um.
00:27:35.718 --> 00:27:38.528
What the hell was the name of that race?
00:27:38.528 --> 00:27:39.310
The um?
00:27:39.310 --> 00:27:41.095

00:27:43.829 --> 00:27:47.828
So big shout out to Zachary Gardner, as well as none other than Sam Hendry.
