Aloha Athletes !

The first race of the 2005 HURT Trail Series was a blast ! Congratulations to all that participated. The results will be sent out soon. A big mahalo to co-race directors Rex Vlcek and Bob Murphy for an excellent job ! 53 runners participated.

Congratulations to Nick Kaiser who today ran the Boston Marathon in 3:10:58. Yea Nick ! He's a very good runner !

With almost all of our regulars involved in the Swamp Romp this coming Saturday, the trails should be deserted, so we will have a Saturday Training run for the few of us left (followed by trail maintenance @ 9 am, for those who are interested).

Don,

Thanks for your congratulations on the Boston marathon. The HURT-star of the race was new member Harald Ebeling who ran a blistering 3:05:22. This is 12 minutes faster than his Honolulu time, and clearly a result of training on Tantalus - Outstanding!

Race conditions were marvelous - 70deg and sunny - and the event was everything it is cracked up to be with crowds along the whole course going crazy. Also notable was the hospitality of ex-pat Pete Thalmann at "Aloha House" by the start in Hopkinton.

Cheers,
Nick

Greeting Everyone,

I wanted to send out a quick email to everyone from the HURT Hawaii Team. It has been a great experience to run with all of you over the last 8 months. Running with you all has made me a more experienced and knowledgeable runner. I look forward to the day when our paths will cross again.
If anyone ever comes thru the Washington D.C. Metro area, please drop me a line and I will gladly meet up for a run.
Happy Trails and Adventures!
Alex
