Pennsylvania Runners Dominant at Canandaigua Fifties

A week before the race, it looked like the fifth year would finally establish the Canandaigua Fifties as a significant destination ultra. Entries were up 60 percent over 2006. Forty percent of the entries were coming from outside of New York State to enjoy fifty miles on lightly-traveled roads around a beautiful Finger Lake, peak fall foliage and the challenge of Bopple Hill. Three former winners were returning to face a quality field. Then there was the weather… normal would have been a low of 45 and high of 63 degrees.

After brief remarks reminding the runners to be cautious in the heat, the race started promptly at 7:00 a.m. under clear skies, a low of 63 degrees (and a forecast near record high of 84 degrees). Dan Dominie, our 2005 winner, and local trail specialist Egils Robs began opening a lead over the field. Dominie reached the Onanda Park aid station having covered 10 mostly flat miles in less than 70 minutes with Robs in close pursuit. By this point, the field had sorted out with the likely contenders grouped six minutes back: Josh Irvan (6:57 at JFK last year), Andy McDowell (Tussey MountainBack 2005 winner), Ed Housel (current Masters division leader in Western New York Ultra Series), Joe Jaffee (our 2006 first place man), Ryan O’Dell (our 2006 second place man) and Josh Reynolds running his first ultramarathon.

50K Ultra (32.6 miles) - Axel Reyes led start to finish, running the second best time for the event and setting a new Masters record.  Katherine Stettler ran together with Becky Harman until Becky dropped on.  Stettler continued on setting new Open and Masters records in finishing second overall.  Nineteen of 20 starters finished.  The heat and humidity took the same toll on the shorter distance runners:  the median finish time was a full 60 minutes slower than last year, remarkably the same as the slowdown in the 50 Mile.
