Love having people give their opinions and having some good discourse on the state of the sport in MT.<br /><br />Don't completely disagree with you about PDS. But, in the end, it seemed that the others had a broader range of performances (a pretty wide array of distances and surfaces); and, generally ran in some races that were, overall, more competitive. Like Alan King on the open men's side, part of the answer woudl be PDS getting outside of the Helena area more often.Tony Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16468420700813877768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062417.post-19793485998887552602010-01-23T10:01:46.184-07:002010-01-23T10:01:46.184-07:00Nice work on this Tony.

I agree with Dewey that you do an excellent job keeping us all up-to-date on the latest happenings in the Montana running scene.<br />I also like your idea of comparing the top competitors & performances. But gosh, I really do have to take exception with your placement of Mr. Sullivan as merely an honorable mention. Here's why -- in 2009, Peter Dan went undefeated in the masters category in every running race he entered (8 races total, in all seasons and including a multitude of surfaces and distances). Highlights include 1st in the Masters Mile, 4th overall in the Gov’s Cup 5k (17:24 in nasty conditions), 3rd overall in the Augúst Road Race (in his fastest time ever -- 20:39 for 3.8 miles = 5:26 pace), 2nd overall in the Veterans Day race, top master in Mount Helena, and top master / 3rd overall in the Helena Turkey Trot “5k” (17:11 -- course is a bit short). He also extended his win streak at the Wolf Creek Relay to at least 6 races (never having been on a losing team, to my knowledge) by running the fastest time for the third leg that year (one second faster than the always-impressive Jake Neil). And for good measure, he put his Distance Medley Relay team solidly in the lead at an informal Carroll College outdoor meet in April (by running 3:26 for 1200 m). <br />I agree he deserves a serious penalty for not showing up to the Montana Cup (choosing instead to attend a play his son was performing in), but still! (He also jumped into a sprint triathlon and a 38 mile mountain bike race, and did well in both, but I know this is a running purist blog -- and rightly so -- so I won't elaborate on those.)<br />You did invite feedback, right? :)<br />Thanks Tony,<br />Patpjudgenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062417.post-75192756852319729502010-01-23T07:44:04.190-07:002010-01-23T07:44:04.190-07:00Top Master's Woman - Colleen DeRuek???????

After her we have people like Anne Sorenson, Julie Gilchrist, Debbie Gibson, Kathy Aragon and Karen Sanford Gall. <br /><br />When does Nicole do the big 4-0? It's this year isn't it? <br /><br />TBTony Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16468420700813877768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062417.post-62203048864574264972010-01-22T20:22:34.387-07:002010-01-22T20:22:34.387-07:00Yes.

I really think that Thomas deserves the top nod due to the fact he practically won (if not destroyed) every race he entered but a few, and that number has to be in the high teens if not 20-race range. And I think Rob Walker is going to make some waves next year as a master's runner, I'm looking forward to seeing how the MMMM shapes up, although I'm glad that we'll be out in Spokane to hear about it.Deweyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13663263946164438169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062417.post-42212085687678154942010-01-17T11:06:27.780-07:002010-01-17T11:06:27.780-07:00TJ - thanks for catching that.

Sub 5 for MMMM and sub 2:50 at Couer d'Alene (2nd overall) marathon. He beat Telling at the Prickly Pear 30k.
