Great Adirondack Trail Run 2009
Yesterday was the 5th Annual Great Adirondack Trail Run.
As always fun was had by all and it's a great way to kick off the summer.
Up and Over Hopkins Mountain
The finish line for some crazy 3.5 milers!
Obviously he can't read the sign!
"My dad said he would disown me if i didn't beat Nick Yardley... so I did!"
The GATR is a benefit event for the Ausable and Boquet River Associations.
Wet conditions prevailed on both courses but the racers persevered! The 11.5 mile mountain course was altered this year with a additional climb over Spread Eagle Mountain.
Mens overall 11.5 mile winner was once again George Adams
Womens overall 11.5 mile winner was Serena Wilcox
3.5 mile mens winner was Peter Muessig and the womens was Mel Frazer.
Races "rehydrating" at the post race festivities
It's a family affair... yes all six of them ran the 3.5 miler!

Famous Quotes in Mountaineer History
In January 1995 famed climber Jeff Lowe was visiting the Adirondacks teaching ice climbing.
Jeff refers to a good ice axe placement as a "portable belay".
One of his clinic padawans was The Mountaineers Chuck Bruha...
And while on thin ice with no protection during a difficult first ascent Chuck asks Jeff...
"So tell me the truth Jeff, is every stick a belay there?"
This great quote in Mountaineer history is captured in Jeff's instructional video, "Waterfall Ice".
