Extractions: We have recently learned that Wesly Ngetich - the two-time winner of Grandma's Marathon (2007, 2005) and a top-three finisher at the Austin, Houston and Toronto Waterfront Marathons was killed in the violence in Kenya. Ngetich was apparently shot in the chest with an arrow near his hometown amidst the violence that has been ongoing since late December. From the Department Department: The Twin Cities Marathon has announced that Brian Mastel, previously the organization's Race Operations Manager, has been promoted to Race Director - a newly created title within the organization. The promotion, in our estimation, will most likely not change Mastel's daily activities in the short term, but is a well deserved recognition of the work that Mastel has been performing and his role in the organization. TCM Executive Director, Virginia Brophy Achman, in the organization's announcement, commented on Mastel's knowledge, experience and work in developing additional events for the organization. Plus, as we've seen, everyone who knows Brian likes him...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21213707/

Extractions: Spectators watch the start of the Chicago Marathon. The brutally hot marathon that descended into disarray this weekend âÂ with hundreds in the field of 36,000 runners vomiting or collapsing by the roadside â has raised questions about whether marathons have become too big and too greedy. CHICAGO - There are young ones, old ones, thin ones and fat ones. Some show up in chicken suits, others in G-strings. There are highly trained athletes, of course, but also many people who look like a starting line is, well, the last place they should be. These days, big-city marathons cast an increasingly wide net, drawing tens of thousands of serious and not-so-serious runners to prestigious races in New York, Chicago, Boston and elsewhere. The incentive to draw as many people as possible is clear enough: The 26.2-mile marathons generate millions of dollars for cities that host them, as well as for the sporting-goods industry.

First, there was the story of Bill Tangeman, who racked up a quite unearthly score by playing a single round of Geometry Wars: Galaxies on his DS for 24 hours.

Extractions: Frozen Head State Park, Tennessee Barkley flyover The runners climb 1500 ft. in the first mile up Bird Mountain, the first of many big hills on the first loop of the 2001 Barkley. Descending the north side of Bird Mountain, the trail isn't so nice any more. In fact, it hasn't been maintained for 50 years. Debra Moore tears a page out of Book 1, A Time to Die . You have to retrieve a page out of all 9 books to verify that you completed the 20 mile loop. The North Boundary Trail has many blowdowns to climb over, under, and around. Son of a Bitch Ditch, 10 feet wide and 10 feet deep. Matt Mahoney at the Coal Ponds. Climbing to the Garden Spot and Book 2. Descending Leonard's Butt Slide. The first few hundred feet are on muddy slopes at a 45 degree angle down to book 3. Bill Johnson starts climbing Little Hell at book 4, 1500 vertical feet in 0.6 miles at a 50% grade. The climb usually takes about an hour. Stu Gleman at the top of Hell. Book 5 is Southern Discomfort . (Photo courtesy of Peter Schuler). Rat Jaw climbs 1000 feet in 1/2 mile under some powerlines and past some abandoned coal mines. The ground is covered with mats of cut-down sawbriers. In some places there is a downed powerline that can be used as a climbing rope. Otherwise you have to climb with your hands, and the thorns draw blood.
Marathons Cut Risk Of Fatal Vehicle Crashes
Organized marathons are not associated with an increased risk of sudden death, despite the media attention they attract. In fact, marathons lower the risk
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/12/071221094840.htm

Extractions: Share Blog Cite Print Email Bookmark ScienceDaily (Dec. 26, 2007) See also: Millions of people take part in organised sporting events on a regular basis, yet the outcome for a few participants is sudden death. These deaths attract widespread media attention, such as the high publicity given to deaths that occur in marathon runners. In contrast, sudden deaths from motor vehicle crashes occur more than a hundred times each day in the United States alone and tend to be under-reported in the media. Yet no previous study has explored the extent to which marathons might actually decrease mortality. So researchers examined marathons throughout the US to test whether the total number of sudden deaths changed when roads were closed to traffic and opened to marathon running. They randomly selected 26 established marathons involving more than 3 million participants over a period of 30 years. Each marathon had at least 1,000 participants and took place on United States roadways from 1975 to 2004. Sudden cardiac deaths following each marathon were recorded and compared to motor vehicle deaths during the same hours one week before and one week after each marathon. The same comparisons were then replicated for state counties that were outside the marathon route to check for spillover in traffic flow.
