Corte Madera Marsh ~3.32 miles
August 9th, 2009
83 Finishers: 65 men, 18 women
For the months of March, April and May, there was an abundance of
lengthy, steep climbs and descents for TCRS. In significant contrast,
July and August have been exercises in brevity, with a combined net
elevation gain of about three feet. Yet there is an obvious pattern to
the overall scheduling of this year's courses, and the Tamalpan who
submits the most vivid and entertaining description of this pattern will
be awarded an extra point toward their year-end total score. The August
run was around the marshes east of The Village shopping center, with
plentiful winged wildlife and long, narrow, single-file passageways
through the very tall overgrowth. Two fresh faces in the persons of
Bryant Benter and Mimi Willard earned the coveted spots atop the victory
stand, Bryant by a scant few seconds ahead of Tim O'Rourke and Terrence
Bennett, and Mimi by a more comfortable margin over Beth Freedman. The
morning was warm but not unreasonable, and like McInnis the previous
month, there were even claims of light breezes coming off the bay. Our
regular volunteer crew took great care of us once again, and runners
celebrated afterward with generous discounts showered on us by the
nearby merchants. We now head into the final stages of the 2009
campaign, but we've probably seen the last of the merchant discounts. - Jim Myers
