Below is a recap of the three final races and the overall standings. Rose Valley 33 Mile Run 11/29/08 Due to the Tea Fire and trail closures in the Santa Barbara Front Country, the 2008 Santa Barbara 9 Trails became the Rose Valley 33 Mile Endurance Run and was held in the forest east of Ojai. According to RD Luis Escobar: “The 2008 Rose Valley 33 Mile Endurance Run aka The Santa Barbara 9 Trails 35 Mile fire replacement run was a great success. We had about 100 starters and nearly 90 finishers. It was a day of pure ultra kookiness, the trails were gnarly but hospitable, dark blue skies, clean brisk California air, big views, long ass climbs, perfect single track, great aid stations, helpful, friendly and knowledgeable volunteers, generous sponsors. The finish line was ultra perfection ‐ remote and funky location (abandoned county work station) with lots of happy people, cheese burgers prepared by chef Jurek, cold beer and shots of Jack. What could be better? We all had a great time.” Mike Swan, 38, won the race in 5:08 and Krissy Moehl won the women’s division in 5:27.

My road to the Asylum started in the 90's. Running 5k to marathons most weekends, Steve (HF#1), Chris (HF#2) and I were not only com- petitive with our own race times, but with each other. Eventually we started traveling to races together and the creativity started to flow. What / Who inspires you to lace up your shoes and run? I'm inspired to keep running because of the feeling of accomplishment I get after every run. Also seeing all the amazing stories that come from our club’s membership is pretty amazing. What are your goals for 2015 and beyond? My goal for 2015 was to run a sub 3 marathon again; it had been 3 years since I'd done that. In May, at the Newport Marathon, I ran my 27th mara- thon under 3 hours! Out of 263 marathons that's not a very good average, but it shows how challenging that is for me.

Midway between men's winner Dix on (2:08:59) and womeii's winner Grete Waitz (2:27:00), England's David Clark, 40, was overtaking defen ding masters champion Antonio Villanueva, 43, to pull away to an im pressive 2:17:30 masters viawy. It was one of the fifteen fastest recorded marathon times ever turned in by a runner age-40-or-over, and earned Clark 40th place overall. Cindy Dalrymple, 41, repeated her 1982 women's masters triumph with a time of 2:44:01, 14 seconds faster than her time last year, and four minutes ahead of masters runner-up Elaine Kir- chen, 40, of New York City (2:48:34).
