Race Director's Summary
Race day was a perfect October day in
the Finger Lakes… a crisp, clear dawn warming to a comfortable 70 degrees in
mid-afternoon… ideal for the volunteers and only a little too warm for the
runners doing the full fifty miles around the lake. Fall foliage was at peak
colors.
In the five previous runs around the lake, it has not paid to lead the
race from the start. The ultimate winner has always taken the lead somewhere
after the 50 km mark in the Village of Middlesex. This year broke the rule.
Ed Housel, co-winner of the 2007 Western New York Ultra Runner of the Year,
had a gap on the pack by five miles and extended the gap to a couple minutes
over the climbs of Coye Cutoff and Bopple Hill.
Dan Dominie was the first to challenge for the lead, pulling even by
Sunnyside at 27 miles and reaching the 50 km mark with a slim 24-second
lead. But it was not to be… over the big climb out of Middlesex and the
descent back to the lake in Vine Valley, Housel moved back into the lead as
Dominie slowed, gradually dropping back into the company of Todd Baum and
William McGovern.
On the climb to Town Line Road Matthew Chaffin mounted an even more
serious challenge to Housel’s lead. Chaffin took back two minutes in the
three miles to Town Line Road and caught Housel. The two arrived together at
Kipp Road at 46 miles. Again it was not to be… Chaffin, slowed by nausea,
dropped five minutes behind over the remaining four miles. Housel ran
strongly to the finish for his first race win.
On the women’s side, Jill Perry led from the start in a beautifully paced
effort, averaging 9:20 to the 50 km mark and slowing only slightly to
average 9:25 for the full 50 miles. This pacing effort was topped by Jerome
Wojnicki who ran negative splits, averaging 10:30 to 50 km and speeding up
enough over the remaining miles to average 10:28 for the full 50 miles
around the lake.

Race Director's
Summary
John Ehntholt (2:48 Boston Marathon) and
Mark Andrews (local elite runner in his first ultra) went out hard from the
gun, gapping the next fastest runners by more than a minute per mile. The
two ran side-by-side over the early rollers, over the stair-step climbs of
the Coye Cutoff and back down to the lakeshore, arriving together at the
start of Bopple Hill. This signature climb gains 600 feet in 0.8 mile with a
maximum grade of 23 percent.
Ehntholt and Andrews ran together on the opening wall and the following
short false flat. When the hill again pitched up to 20+ percent, Ehntholt
switched to power walking and wished Andrews well as he continued running
the remainder of the climb. To his surprise, Ehntholt quickly caught back up
to Andrews on the run-in to the Bristol Springs station at 17 miles, only to
see Andrews drop out due to severe cramping. Ehntholt ran on, finishing the
50 kilometers in a race record 3:43:21.
Daniele Cherniak (nine-time member of the US 100 km team) was equally
dominant in the women’s category. She started fast, leading the women’s
category from the start, running Bopple Hill and moving into second overall
by the Rte. 21 aid station at 22.7 miles. Cherniak hardly slowed over the
remaining miles, finishing in a race record 4:22:57. Cherniak now holds the
women’s record for both the 50-mile and 50-kilometer Can Lake 50 races.
