| 5th leg of the Big Sur Marathon Relay | Carmel, CA | 4/25/99 | 3.2 | 32:00 | 10:00 | First race in a long time. Ran for fun instead of time. I ran the last leg and got to cross the finish line. What a blast! |

| The Relay | Calistoga to Santa Cruz | 10/2/98 - 10/3/98 | N/A | N/A | N/A | This is a 193 mile 12 person relay that took us just under 30 hours to run. It was a life changing experience, which I wrote a story about. | |
| Wharf To Wharf | Santa Cruz to Capitola | 7/26/98 | 6.0 | 66:00 | 11:00 | Ran with Jenny the whole time. (Or should I say I tried to keep up with her, as she was nice enough to slow down for me!) | |
| 1st leg of the Big Sur Marathon Relay | Carmel, CA | 4/26/98 | 5.1 | 55:00 | 10:40 | This was the El Nino version of the course, which started in Carmel and finished in Carmel. So my start was easy in Carmel and about 5 miles out. I wish I had the opportunity to be bussed out to Big Sur. Some other year. |

| Santa Cruz Turkey Trot | West Cliff, Santa Cruz | 11/23/97 | 6.2 | 60:33 | 9:45 | New PB! Beat my goal of 62 minutes! This was a good race, but I can do better. | |
| Chevy's 5K | Sacramento CA | 9/22/97 | 3.1 | 30:00 | 9:41 | Happy to get under 10:00 min/mile. Flat course with lots of people. | X |
| Race thru the Redwoods `97 | Henry Cowell State Park, Felton | 8/17/97 | 6.2 | 74:20 | 11:59 | Definatly NOT in shape for the Hill. Reversed track this year, Much harder than last year! | |

| 4th leg of the Big Sur Marathon Relay | Big Sur | 4/27/97 | 6.0 | 59:00 | 9:50 | Lots of Headwinds! Also woke up at 3:00AM to get to the start on time! | The Big Basin 5M | Big Basin State Park | 3/15/97 | ~4.0 | 30:15 | ~7:34 | Unknown distance. 4 Miles seems kinda long. My guess was acutally around 3.5 miles. Difficult hill. Trail run. This was the last running of this race, due to insurance problems. | The Great Chowder Chase | San Lorenzo River Trail and Boardwalk Main Beach | 2/22/97 | 4.5 | 40:46 | 9:04 | Good Race. Last 1/2 mile on loose sand! | X | Superbowl Fun Run `97 | West Cliff Drive | 1/26/97 | 6.2 | 66:15 | 10:45 | Ankle sprained 2 months earlier. Wore a brace that went around my foot. Hurt like hell for a week! |
