Iceman 2007 Race Results

Finished 11th out of 110 racers in my class.  Placed 383 out of 2200 racers.  My time was 2:03:42.  Here are the times of the racers above me in my class (my time listed last).  My goal was top 10 and I was 7 seconds off of that goal.  Looking at the times, I am not that far off of top 5. 

Matt Zak 1:52:52 
Alan Smith 1:54:47 
Chris Molnar 1:55:12 
Brad Bierema 1:58:57 
Bryan Rypkowski 1:59:19
Peter Cherchian 2:01:00
John Osgood 2:01:41
Gavin MacFarlane 2:02:01
David Scranton 2:02:10  
David George 2:03:35  
Christian Glupker 2:03:42

The weather was awesome.  High 30's at the start, mid 40's at the end. 

I'm still undecided about what class to race next year.  I may move up to Expert, however my time in Expert class would have been 30th place out of 46 racers.  The winning time was 1:45:58. I would need to move my training to the next level.  The other option is staying in sport and going for a podium finish.  Right now I'm leaning towards Expert class.

Iceman did attract some pro racers, including the legend himself, Ned Overend.  Here are the top 6 Pro Men finishes.  It's amazing that their times are 20+ minutes faster.  Unbelievable.
