North Country Trail Races
A few of the NEO TC members took a long trip up to Manistee, Michigan, to participate in the 13th year of the North Country Trail Races.
They were hoping for a bit of cooler weather, being in almost northern Michigan, but alas, it was the same as being at home in Ohio-race day was typical summer, high of 89, about corresponding humidity.
Julie Bowen Miller finished the marathon in 6 hours 49 minutes.
Kimba finished the 50 mile distance in 12 hours 16 minutes. Her race report is here.
There was a 1/2 marathon, marathon, and 50 mile distance at this event. The course was very runner friendly, consisting of mostly non-technical, sandy, runnable single track. Very well organized race and nice aid stations only 3 to 4 miles apart.

2012 Speece Triathlon
The Speece Family Triathlon was held this morning in South Jackson Township in NE Ohio.
The Speece Family has a picnic every August, and the morning of the picnic they have a triathlon.
The distances are approx. 400 meter swim, 12 mile bike, and then a 5K run.
This is the 3rd year that the Harris family has participated in this event.
Both Slim and Baby Sasquatch competed not just against the rest of the athletes, but had a little family competition going on as well.
Last year at the Mattapoisett Tri, Slim just edged out BS by 19 seconds.
That was not the case this year, as BS passed Slim on the run and ending up 2:29 in front.
The Speece Triathlon is held in memory of Steve Speece, and the proceeds go towards Pancreatic Cancer Research.
This is truly an inspiring event, and to listen to the pre-race briefing when they discuss Steve and what he represented and then to know that cancer touches almost every single one of us...
It truly is an emotional event.
Save a weekend in 2013 in August to fit this in.
You will be glad that you did.

Leadville is this weekend
Cheer on Dave Peterman, as he works on his high elevation race, Leadville 100. This is # 3 of 4 for the Grand Slam.
Popularly called "The Race Across the Sky". A very high elevation race- One hundred miles of extreme Colorado Rockies terrain — from elevations of 9,200 to 12,600 feet, at Hope Pass.
Leadville, Colorado is a very cool little town. For a cheap (and clean!!) place to stay, check out the Leadville Hostel. However, don't try to get a room there during any big event, whether it's the mountain bike race or foot race, the hostel is booked through 2014 for these weeks. But give Wild Bill a call, he may have room for you, and it's a cool place to stage out of for running/hiking 14'ers in the area.

Weekend Running
Running the Burning River 100 Mile Run the weekend before did not seem to slow down George Themelis. He placed first in his age group at the Independence 5K, completing that in 19.47.
Tim Knapp got his double in on Saturday also, running 20 miles at Mill Creek Park in the early morning on Saturday, then running the Salem Star Trax 5K with his son that evening, in 31.24.
Farther south, Teresa McCombs completed the 5 mile trail race, the Dirty Signal, in the Summit Metroparks, running that in 52.05.
Hot day for running Saturday. This was also the course familiarization/volunteer run at Mill Creek Park for the YUTC race. Despite the hot weather, about fifteen runners showed up for some loops around the park. Mileage ranged from one loop around the lakes, 12 miles, to Slim topping out his mileage about 40 miles.
