Welcome to the Mount Si Race2004 Page - the Sixth Annual Race up one of the the gorgeous Cascade foothills - known once again, I am most pleased to announce, as "The Annual Beating of the Boy."
While thinking of a theme for "Ought Four" I turned to licence plates for inspiration. Nothing. "Live Free Or Die?" "Show Me State?" "10,000 Lakes?" Finally I came across Quebec and their old motto "Je me souviens" and it reminded me of a friend who had a big question mark tattooed on his arm. Sometimes you just don't want to be understood. In that spirit, the theme for the year is:
A number of folks voted for who they thought would win before the race. 11 thought Larry would win, while 2 favored "Unseeded Mystery Canditate."
The race this year was held in perfect temperatures with a few sun-peeks here and there, though the trail was quite wet and the summit gulley a little slow. Four runners competed (Ashley, Ian E., Paul and Larry) with two timekeepers and emergency crew, Lydia and Suzanne.
The results showed a surprise tie for first place with Ashley and Ian E. turning in a respectable 1:55:33, while newcomer Paul was second with a noble effort at 2:05:50. Larry finished with 2:13:00. Harrumph.
