2023/08/08 | Nojiri Lake Association Lake Run | ~9 miles | 1:43:34 | My slowest time for this race, though my previous slowest was 15 years ago |

2021/12/12 | Honolulu Marathon | 26.2 miles | 5:27:06 | I wanted to have one completed race this year, though it turned out slower than I hoped and expected |
2021/06/26-27 | Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run | 100 miles | ~60 miles | My second shot at this race, and it turned out better than the first time (but not what I hoped for) |
2020/05/03 | Horseshoe Lake Trail Run (virtual) | 30K | 3:58:56 | A virtual race, where the real race would have been on trails that I ran all the time when I lived in California |
2020/03/14 | Aiea Loop Express | “7+” miles | 2:21:26 | My first HURT trail series race as a local (and it was 8.4 miles) |
2020/01/18 | HURT Legacy 20 | 20 miles | 6:59:35 | Special event on the same course as the HURT 100 for the 20th running of that race, but just one loop |
2019/12/31 | New Year’s One Day | 12 hours | 53.0 miles | In the range I expected |
2019/11/28 | Quad Dipsea | 28.4 miles | 8:09:56 | Managed to finish faster than my previous worst, which was an accomplishment after missing over a month of training this Summer |
2019/07/06 | Brazen Dirty Dozen | 12 hours | 53.07 miles | About 2 1/2 miles less than last year despite better temperatures |
2019/05/11 | Los Altos Hills Pathways 10K | 10K | 1:03:47 | In the middle of my results here |
2019/05/04 | Miwok 100K | 100K | 15:22:55 | Nowhere near as fast as I hoped, especially given the great weather, but I got my Western States qualifier |
2019/04/13 | Lake Sonoma 50 | 50 miles | 12:47:06 | Somewhat warm, almost lost my shoes in a mud pit, and in retrospect I was getting sick |
2019/03/02 | Way Too Cool 50K | 50K | 7:03:06 | Very wet and muddy |
2019/01/19-20 | HURT 100 | 100 miles | 80 miles | I was better prepared than ever before, but the course was more treacherous than usual, and I decided that the risks of going fast enough to finish were not worth it |
2018/11/24 | Quad Dipsea | 28.4 miles | 8:03:00 | My second slowest time |
2018/08/14 | Nojiri Lake Association Lake Run | ~9 miles | 1:35:42 | Much slower than 2016, when I last ran it, but also not my slowest time for the race |
2018/08/09 | Nojiri Lake Association Half Marathon | 13.1 miles | 2:30:56 | PW, and I was DFL |
2018/07/21 | Tin Cup Challenge 10K | 10K | 1:00:00 | Almost 6 minutes faster than the one other time I ran this race |
2018/07/07 | Brazen Dirty Dozen | 12 hours | 55.6 miles | Managed a slight (0.4 miles) PR for a 12 hour race despite more hills and heat than in the other two |
2018/06/03 | Skyline to the Sea | 26.2 miles | 5:47:34 | Downgraded from the 50K |
2018/05/05 | Miwok 100K | 100K | 14:32:08 | A PR by 7 minutes |
2018/04/14 | Lake Sonoma 50 | 50 miles | 12:34:16 | Course PR by 5 minutes |
2018/03/17-18 | 4mph Challenge | It depends | 60 miles | Unofficially 66 miles |
2018/01/13-14 | HURT 100 | 100 miles | 93 miles | I conquered my mental issues from my previous best attempt two years prior, and was over two hours faster through 80 miles, but in the last loop I wasn’t able to slow myself down downhill, which wasn’t very safe, or ultimately, fast enough |
2017/11/22 | Quad Dipsea | 28.4 miles | 7:33:12 | Over 4 minutes slower than last year |
2017/09/08-12 | Tahoe 200 | 205.5 miles | 88.1 miles | I got the leans, which I’ve never suffered with for more than 30 miles before, and elected to pull the plug early |
2017/08/10 | Nojiri Lake Association Half Marathon | 13.1 miles | 2:14:15 | Almost 3 minutes slower than last year |
2017/08/01 | Nojiri Lake Association NLA Run | ~4.5K | 23:02 | Exactly tied my PR for this course, from 2 years ago |
2017/07/15 | Tahoe Rim Trail 50 | 50 miles | 14:38:01 | Slower than I hoped, but I finished very strong |
2017/06/03 | Mount Diablo 50K | 50K | 28K | I missed the cutoff due to nasty climbs, technical descents, heat, and weight gain, so I had to skip the extra out-and-back that the 50K runners did (my 28K time was 5:31:04) |
2017/05/06 | Miwok 100K | 100K | 15:06:44 | A little slower than last year, but it still qualifies me for the Western States lottery |
2017/04/15 | Lake Sonoma 50 | 50 miles | 13:12:14 | I was mildly sick |
2017/03/11 | Marin Ultra Challenge 50 | 50 miles | 12:44:30 | A course PW |
2016/12/31-2017/01/01 | New Year’s One Day | 24 hours | 105.4 miles | This has never happened before, and will likely never happen again, but I was the first male! And not just in my age group. A woman from Japan went 106.5 miles, so I was not quite first overall. This kind of race works really well with my newish low-carb diet, since fat burning is the name of the game. |
2016/12/03 | North Face Endurance Challenge 50 | 50 miles | 11:42:20 | A few minutes slower than I hoped (this is the chip time) |
2016/11/26 | Quad Dipsea | 28.4 miles | 7:28:56 | My second fastest time on this course, in wet and slippery conditions |
2016/11/05-06 | Rio del Lago | 100 miles | 27:49:13 | Not as fast as I aimed for, but a 100-mile finish is a 100-mile finish |
2016/10/15 | Overlook Endurance Runs 50K | 50K | 6:18:22 | I was exactly the median runner, with 69 people ahead of me and the same number behind |
2016/09/24 | Stevens Creek Striders 50K | 50K | 7:23:14 | Nutrition experiment: Running an ultra on zero carbohydrates |
2016/08/16 | Nojiri Lake Association Lake Run | ~9 miles | 1:25:05 | My PR for this race by over 90 seconds |
2016/08/11 | Nojiri Lake Association Half Marathon | 13.1 miles | 2:11:23 | PR for this course, though only by 22 seconds |
2016/08/09 | Nojiri Lake Association NLA Run | ~4.5K | 24:03 | 61 seconds slower than last year |
2016/07/16-17 | Tahoe Rim Trail 100 | 100 miles | 32:08:37 | Had issues late, but still finished ahead of plan |
2016/07/04 | 4th of July 10K | 10K | 55:44 | Second year in a row running this 10K in Wilson, WY (over 6000′), and just over 2 minutes faster |
2016/06/19 | Broken Arrow Skyrace 52K | 52K | 11:08:19 | Tons of climbing at fairly high altitude, and other challenges like snow |
2016/05/07 | Miwok 100K | 100K | 14:39:09 | I was pushing all day to stay ahead of or at least close to last year’s excellent splits, and ended up setting a PR by over 3 minutes |
2016/04/09 | Woodside/Purisima Creek Crossover | 50K | 7:13:37 | A little slower than last year, but I had just recovered from being sick |
2016/03/12 | Marin Ultra Challenge 50 | 50 miles | 11:40:35 | Cold temperatures helped me improve by over 30 minutes compared to last year (the rain and wind kept things “interesting”) |
2016/02/20 | Montara Mountain Trail Run | 50K | 6:28:42 | This is the same course as PCTR’s Pacifica 50K, so this was a course PR by over 30 minutes |
2016/01/16-17 | HURT 100 | 100 miles | 80 miles | I improved significantly (80 miles in 30:07 vs. 72.8 miles in 32:43 in 2013), but I will need better mental focus to finally finish this race |
2015/12/05 | North Face Endurance Challenge 50 | 50 miles | 11:39:13 | A big PR (>30 minutes) for a 50 miler (this is the chip time) |
2015/11/28 | Quad Dipsea | 28.4 miles | 7:21:29 | My splits weren’t quite as even as last year, and I didn’t meet my coach’s 7:20 goal, but still a big PR |
2015/11/07-08 | Rio del Lago | 100 miles | 26:13:23 | Missed my 100-mile PR by less than 2 minutes |
2015/10/24 | Eldrith Gosney’s Pure Ultra | 50K | 7:10:33 | Eldrith is awesome, but she was extremely embarrassed by all the attention (she designed the route, but the race was so not her idea) — my 50th completed 50K |
2015/09/20 | Coastal 50K | 50K | 8:10:05 | A course PW, but third place in my age group on a very hot day when many dropped out without finishing |
2015/08/13 | Nojiri Lake Association Half Marathon | 13.1 miles | 2:11:45 | PR for this course by over 15 minutes, and won the master’s men division (though there was only one other in that division) |
2015/08/11 | Nojiri Lake Association NLA Run | ~4.5K | 23:02 | My PR for this course, and won the master’s men division |
2015/08/02 | The Tick Trailblaze Half Marathon | 12.6 miles | 2:29:12 | The finisher’s medal is a bottle opener! (and yes, the official distance was a bit short) |
2015/07/26 | Big Basin 50K | 50K | 6:35:00 | This is basically the same as the PCTR Skyline to the Sea 50K, and was a course PR on that basis |
2015/07/04 | 4th of July 10K | 10K | 57:49 | Another opportunistic race, this time in Wilson Wyoming, about 8 minutes faster than my previous 10K at over 6000′ |
2015/05/23 | Trent-Waldron Glacier Half Marathon | 13.1 miles | 1:59:39 | Opportunistic race, since I was going to be in Anchorage anyway, turned into a PR by about a minute |
2015/05/02 | Miwok 100K | 100K | 14:42:59 | The cutoffs forced me to PR, and the good weather also helped |
2015/04/12 | Woodside/Purisima Creek Crossover | 50K | 7:10:52 | A little long and more climbing than advertised, but good training for Miwok |
2015/03/14 | Marin Ultra Challenge 50 | 50 miles | 12:11:22 | My longest run since the 2013 injury, and a PR for a 50 miler |
2015/02/08 | Golden Gate Trail Run | 50K | 6:43:53 | Second in my age group (though I would have been third if I was in the 60-69 group!) |
2015/01/01 | Race to End World Hunger | 10K | 53:41 | My eighth consecutive year running this race |
2014/12/28 | Woodside Trail Run | 50K | 6:17:49 | My 45th completed 50K, and my 4th fastest (4 of my 5 fastest 50Ks have been on this course) |
2014/11/29 | Quad Dipsea | 28.4 miles | 7:34:23 | My first ultramarathon since the 2013 injury, and a PR thanks mostly to very even splits |
2014/10/25 | PCTR Stinson Beach 37K | 37K | 5:45:45 | My longest race since the 2013 injury |
2014/08/31 | Toro Trail Run 30K | 30K | 5:06:40 | Very hilly and at times steep course, and my longest run of the year (so far) |
2014/08/15 | Nojiri Lake Association Half Marathon | 13.1 miles | 2:27:02 | I actually designed the course two years earlier, but was not able to run the inaugural event last year due to injury |
2014/08/12 | Nojiri Lake Association NLA Run | ~4.5K | 23:35 | My PR for this course |
2014/08/05 | Nojiri Lake Association NLA Run | ~4.5K | 24:53 | I won my division (masters men)! |
2014/07/19 | Tin Cup Challenge 10K | 10K | 1:05:50 | Very slow, most likely due to the elevation (over 6000′) of the race, but very even splits |
2014/05/18 | Horseshoe Lake Trail Run | 13.1 miles | 2:47:21 | My longest run of the year so far, hoping last year’s stress fracture is starting to be behind me |
2014/05/10 | Los Altos Hills Pathways 10K | 10K | 1:05:37 | A course personal worst, but by less than expected considering my injury and hardly any running this year |
2014/03/29 | Fight for Air | 1197 steps | 12:29 | My first stair climb event |
2014/01/01 | Race to End World Hunger | 10K | 56:54 | My seventh year in a row running this race—my personal worst, but okay since I have hardly run in the last six weeks |
2013/11/16 | Mt. Tam 30K | 30K | 4:10:29 | This seemed to be a good return to racing after the stress fracture I got during Western States, but it turned out to be too much too soon |
2013/06/29 | Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run | 100 miles | 47.8 miles | The combination of an injured foot (stress fracture) and the second-hottest conditions in race history were not a good omen |
2013/05/11 | Los Altos Hills Pathways 10K | 10K | 57:48 | Hilly and fairly warm, but I managed to run the whole thing and set a course PR, but an unseen rock (while wearing Vibrams) was the start of my stress fracture |
2013/05/04 | Miwok 100K | 60K | 8:53:24 | The race was shortened at the last minute, so I ran 12.5 miles before and 4.6 afterwards to keep my training for Western States on track |
2013/04/13 | Lake Sonoma 50 | 50 miles | 12:39:33 | Great training for Western States in a beautiful part of Sonoma County I had never seen before |
2013/03/24 | Canyon Meadow Trail Run | 50K | 7:01:33 | My coach challenged me to negative split the two half marathon loops by at least 5 minutes, and I managed 11 minutes (which took a heart rate increase of 25bpm) |
2013/01/19-20 | HURT 100 | 100 miles | 72.8 miles | I was slower though the point where I have previously stopped (67.3 miles in 29:40 this year vs. 28:16 last year), but I went further (72.8 miles in 32:43) and felt less beat up afterwards, so it’s all good |
2013/01/01 | Race to End World Hunger | 10K | 51:30 | My sixth year in a row running this race (formerly Run for a Healthy World), and only 6 seconds slower than my 10K PR |
2012/12/30 | Rodeo Valley Trail Run | 50K | 7:21:29 | Way slower than the last time I ran PCTR’s version two years ago, which was already my PW on this course, but somehow I won my age group?! |
2012/12/15 | Woodside Ramble | 50K | 7:02:34 | I’m not sure how ITR makes this course so much more challenging than PCTR’s version, but at least I was over 18 minutes faster than last time |
2012/12/08 | Coyote Ridge Trail Run | 50K | 7:13:57 | Over 30 minutes faster than when I ran this course in September |
2012/11/24 | Quad Dipsea | 28.4 miles | 8:13:44 | Each year I seem to get slower at this one |
2012/10/27-28 | Javelina Jundred | 100 miles | 29:47:34 | I got the Dead Last award, but more than half of the starters did not finish the full 100 miles, and I got my Western States qualifier |
2012/10/13 | Horseshoe Lake Trail Run | 13.1 miles | 2:54:47 | I also ran the 3.4 miles from home to the start (and back afterwards) |
2012/09/29 | Berkeley Trail Adventure | 50K | 7:42:15 | This was my 40th completed 50K—the course markings were incorrect, causing everyone to cover about 1.5 miles less than intended, which was good because it was pretty hot |
2012/09/22 | Coastal 50K | 50K | 7:39:04 | Big improvement over last week |
2012/09/15 | Diablo 50K | 50K | 10:09:32 | About 1.5 hours slower than last year, and by far my slowest 50K, but there were three people who were even slower (and I think I was slightly sick) |
2012/09/01 | Coyote Ridge Trail Run | 50K | 7:45:48 | I finished DFL with a PW on this course, but still managed to be second in my age group and beat four people doing the shorter marathon course |
2012/08/13 | Nojiri Lake Association Lake Run | ~9 miles | 1:39:30 | Finished last and very slow, but not quite as slow as 2008 |
2012/07/21-22 | Tahoe Rim Trail 100 | 100 miles | 85.5 miles | This time I pushed myself much better than I did at Bighorn, but it still wasn’t quite enough to beat the cutoffs |
2012/06/30 | Marin Ultra Challenge | 50K | 8:25:21 | Tougher and longer (32.75 miles) than expected, but still a good day on the trails with friends at every aid station |
2012/06/15-16 | Bighorn Trail 100 | 100 miles | 76.5 miles | The knee that had been bothering me didn’t hurt me physically, but it had a big impact on my mental toughness |
2012/05/12 | PCT 50 Trail Run | 50 miles | 13:46 | The warm and rocky conditions made the middle of the race a slog, but the last segment was faster than my plan |

Runner #6 (including the Golden Gate Bridge and Highway 9!)
|
2012/04/21 | Diablo Trails Challenge | 50K | 9:14:14 | My 35th completed 50K is also my slowest ever (very hot (89°F), slightly long (31.6 miles), and 3 weeks after donating blood) |
2012/03/24 | Woodside Ramble | 50K | 7:20:53 | This normally fast course was not so fast this time, but I have no complaints |
2012/01/28 | Steep Ravine Trail Run | 50K | 7:46:42 | I’m very happy with the result, since this was only two weeks after HURT |

Not bad (second best 10K) for the day after a 30K!
|
2011/12/31 | Rodeo Beach Trail Run | 30K | 3:49:17 | I don’t know if Pacific Coast Trail Runs will survive, but they have been a huge part of my progression |
2011/12/10 | Coyote Ridge Trail Run | 50K | 7:17:49 | Exactly 6 minutes slower than last year, even though it was dry (vs. muddy last year), but this was my third challenging ultra in three weekends |
2011/12/03 | North Face Endurance Challenge 50 | 50 miles | 12:36:59 | That’s the chip time |
2011/11/26 | Quad Dipsea | 28.4 miles | 7:45:13 | A little slower than last year |
2011/10/29 | Marsh Madness 5K | 5K | 24:28 | My first 5K, averaging 168bpm on the heart rate, so I was pushing hard |
2011/09/24 | Coastal 50K | 50K | 7:08:09 | The inaugural running of this point-to-point race in the Marin Headlands |
2011/09/17 | Diablo 50K | 50K | 8:39:18 | This, my 30th completed 50K, was a last-minute replacement for the canceled San Francisco One Day (24-hour fixed-time event)—the time doesn’t seem so bad given the 7990′ of climbing and the 80+°F temperature |
2011/09/03 | Grand Teton Races 50 | 50 miles | 14:18:32 | I didn’t prepare very much, which is probably why my time was slower than my 50 mile split from last year, but thanks to moving into a new otherwise unoccupied age group, I won my age group! |
2011/08/16 | Nojiri Lake Association Lake Run | ~9 miles | 1:28:09 | Not as fast as last year, but this was under 10 days after a 100-miler, and I wasn’t (quite) dead last |

A new 10K PR, by over 2 minutes!
|
2010/12/26 | Coyote Ridge Trail Run | 50K | 7:11:49 | Even muddier than the previous race! |
2010/12/18 | Rodeo Beach Trail Run | 50K | 6:41:37 | A PW on this course, but given the muddy conditions I’ll take it |
2010/12/04 | Woodside Trail Run | 50K | 6:17:55 | My fourth fastest 50K! |
2010/11/27 | Quad Dipsea | 28.4 miles | 7:35:36 | Thanks to some excellent advice to take the early legs very easy, I managed a much more even race than usual—the mud slowed things down a bit, but not too bad |
2010/11/13 | Stinson Beach Trail Run | 50K | 8:04:56 | It turns out that running 94+ miles on a flat course is not good training for the very hilly (>7000′) course of this, my 25th completed 50K |
2010/10/23-24 | San Francisco One Day | 24 hours | 94.4 miles | It was a wet and windy day, and thanks to entering a new older age group (and one faster man being in an even older group), I actually managed to win my age group for the first time ever! |
2010/10/03 | Skyline Ridge Trail Run | 50K | 7:05:35 | It went from too hot to too cold, but it was still a nice day on my local trails |
2010/09/24 | Palo Alto Moonlight Run | 10K | 56:16 | Lots of people traffic for the first mile, but it’s always fun to run in the dark! |
2010/09/04-05 | Grand Teton Races 100 | 100 miles | 35:50:01 | The hardest physical thing I’ve ever done |
2010/08/07-08 | Headlands Hundred | 100 miles | 26:11:53 | Way faster than last year, though the course was probably 3-4 miles short |
2010/08/03 | Nojiri Lake Association NLA Run | ~4.5K | 23:54 | Substantially faster than in 2005 |
2010/07/27 | Nojiri Lake Association Lake Run | ~9 miles | 1:26:38 | Over 13 minutes faster than in 2008, but I was dead last—where did the slow people go? |
2010/07/17 | Headlands 50 | 50 miles | 13:16:45 | The middle was hard going, but things picked up again near the end |
2010/07/03 | Pacifica Trail Run | 50K | 7:41:09 | |
2010/05/23 | Big Basin Redwoods Trail Run | 50K | 7:41:47 | A hard course, especially on my little toe! |
2010/05/08 | Los Altos Hills Pathways 10K | 10K | 59:48 | Over 4 minutes faster than last year! (I measured it at 58:51) |
2010/05/01-02 | The Relay: legs 10, 19, 23, and 32 | 8.9, 7.0, 3.7, and 4.7 miles (24.3 miles total) | 1:38, 1:08, 0:35, and 0:43 | Already looking forward to next year! |
