Eatough nabs win but Sornson and women steal the show
By Harlan Price
|
The women's field at the Shenandoah Mountain 100 set a new turnout record for any of the 100 milers in the National Ultra Endurance series. 52 women lined up along with 450 men to start a long day in the saddle. In the end, a record number of women crossed the line to collect their finishers' pint glasses. Cheryl Sornson (Trek VW East) took the top honor in the women's class on a course dampened by a rain storm the night before.
It was a win Sornson never expected, but by this point she is used to achieving more than she has hoped. "Getting back into racing was a long shot and a tough undertaking. I am fascinated at what I can do with my mind and body at this point in my life," said Sornson after being asked about her season and first place standing in the series.
In the early 90s Sornson raced as a professional but eventually put aside the racing to pursue motherhood and a career as a guidance counselor. With school back in session, the last couple of weeks have been difficult for training for many of the women racers. Second place finisher Trish Stevenson (IFracing.org) also found herself juggling the books, a couple of jobs and training. In general, the women's field has few professional racers who are able to make a living racing without having a full time job to support themselves. Race promoter Chris Scott pays the women and men equally in an attempt to recognize the women's dedication.
Saturday night rains promised a shift in tactics for technically inclined racers looking to take advantage of slicker rocks in the Shenandoah Valley, while those weak in the rocks were going to have to step up their climbing game to put the pressure on where they could. Each tactician had plenty of opportunity to implement their know-how with 14,000 feet of climbing and 15 minute descents ahead.
True to form, Betsy Shogren (Sobe Cannondale) launched herself up the first three climbs and built a padded lead by the time she reached the top of Hankey Mountain. Sornson and Stevenson were content to sit back and wait, with the knowledge that it was Shogren's first SM100, and they were willing to see how much the inexperience would play into her race.
|
On the Dowell's Draft descent off the backside of the one-hour climb up Hankey Mountain, Sornson got nailed between the eyes with a bee sting just before the two passed Shogren, who was putting the finishing touches on a flat fix. Aware that she wouldn't be far behind, the two women pushed it to aid station three where Stevenson managed to get out first and Sornson only lagged slightly back despite the sting.
On the five-mile pavement section to the start of the next 45 minute climb to the screaming Braley Pond descent, Sornson caught a wheel for a pull and when she looked back Stevenson was out of sight. Now in first place, she put her head down and let her legs do the talking.
Stevenson pushed on and despite having only ridden once since the Fool's Gold 100 race two weeks prior, was able to hold on to second only 11 minutes down. Shogren fell to the fate of a second flat and ended the race in third with 36 minutes behind.
Velo Bella rider Johanna Kraus took almost a half hour off her time from last year and came in with a SM100 best of fourth place. Andrea Dvorak (Colavita/ Sutter Home) rounded out the top five 11 minutes behind Kraus.
In the end, Sornson was overwhelmed with her win amongst such a huge field of women and was flowing with compliments for the race and the promoter. "It was a great race once again by Chris Scott. I like to do his races. The aid stations are always so helpful and I never have to worry about getting what I need at them. The venue is great and there is always plenty of food, drink and good people."
Eatough gets one
|
After a 2007 NUE series without a loss [excepting the SM100 in 2008 during which Chris Eatough pulled out due to a mechanical - ed.], it had to be a little disconcerting for last year's series winner to get through four races and not have a win to show for it.
Was it a superhuman team-mate or a slow start to the season punctuated by a house move and a baby? Either way, the questions can be put to the side after this weekend's race in which Eatough (Trek VW) got back to familiar territory in the land of podiums.
Though he has no chance to win the series, since team-mate Jeff Schalk (Trek VW East) has that locked down, Eatough knows that when he is on there is very little anyone else can do to pull him down. His win tenuously places him in second overall for the series, just a sliver of a point ahead of Evan Plews (Scott/ Captiol Subaru), thereby forcing a final show down at the last race of the NUE series in Tahoe this coming weekend. Eatough has to beat Plews to put Trek one and two on the overall podium.
A recently seperated shoulder and a long season of being on form early were most likely the key ingredients to Schalk's third place finish behind Eatough and perennial threat Sam Koerber (Gary Fisher 29er Crew). The one and two finishers are both showing that a late season push is worth the wait.
From the start out the Stokesville campground, the 500 riders pushed to get position for the opening singletrack on Narrow Back mountain. Koerber squeezed into the wet rock chute first, past the radio tower on top of the ridge with Eatough following close behind and Schalk running third.
"I figured that Jeff was the guy to beat, I knew he wasn't comfortable in wet singletrack. If I could put the pressure on he would wear himself out," said Koerber, whose technical trail skills are dazzling to most. Few on the course would be able to match his get-away skills in the rocks, but the one person capable was Eatough who stuck his wheel to the bottom of the first descent.
|
With a small gap the two worked together to close the door. On the gravel and road section leading up to the steep and rocky Lynn Trail, Schalk and a group including Chris Beck (Gary Fisher 29er Crew) and Michael Simonson (Trek VW Midwest) managed to catch the two riders at the bottom. On the climb before the Wolf Trail descent Schalk joined the two to the top while they dropped all others. The three stayed together through aid station two and up the hour-long climb to the top of Hankey mountain. Schalk began to show cracks in his game as Koerber was establishing a stiff ride to the summit.
"Sam was setting a good pace up Hankey. I was happy to follow," said Eatough. "I was worried about Jeff on the nontechnical climb. I realized Jeff was on the limit a bit and when Sam and I sprinted to get into singletrack first, we gapped Jeff, " said Eatough about the decisive moment for dropping Schalk.
Koerber had the lead into the off-camber, sometimes rocky, sometimes buff eight minute descent to aid station three. "We got a big gap on the downhill. We were just flying," said Koerber. "Jeff was just gone, we must have gotten a minute on him. At the next feed station, Chris was like this is it."
Ahead of the rest of the field, the two were working alone on the road to the Mountain House climb, while Schalk was left to ride solo. On the next climb Eatough upped the pace and managed to get a 20 second gap on Koerber, but lost that advantage on the next downhill into aid station four and the half way point. Still looming ahead on the course was the 25 mile section between aid stations four and five where the course rolls on a false flat climb for about 18 miles before shooting skyward for six miles to aid station five.
A couple miles away from aid station four, Koerber turned a minute climb into a wall and fell off of the pace being set by Eatough. Motivated by a receding Koerber, the Trek Factory rider took his yet to be released 2009 Trek Top Fuel 9.9 to the finish in a solo run for the podium. A small flat on the Chestnut Trail descent was quickly remedied with a burst of C02 and the tubeless sealant held for the rest of the race.
|
Despite his drop from the pace, Koerber managed to make it to aid station five and refuel with some fresh water. That was all the pickup he needed to stay steady for the remainder miles and crossed the line 11 minutes behind Eatough. Schalk kept his head up and finished in third without knowing that Beck was hot on his heels and only a minute behind at the finish line.
It's difficult enough to get splits on the course to people ahead of you, and pretty rare to ever know how close someone is behind. Beck who had crashed earlier and broke a front brake lever off had his own late race dilemma when Aaron Oaks (Bull Dog Campmor) saddled up next to him on the death march section between aid stations four and five.
"I was caught by Aaron on the flatest most open section just before the climb up to aid five," said Beck. "We rode together to the aid station. I took two bottles and kept going. I hit it hard, and tried to get him on those hard grindy climbs. I don't think Aaron understands how quickly we get in and out of the aid stations in these races." said Beck. That tactical effort positioned him for a fourth place on the day while Oaks came in for a fifth, just three minutes back.
Shogren #2 takes first in men's singlespeed
|
Gunner Shogren (Sobe / Cannondale) grabbed the lead early amongst the singlespeeders and showed a field of 74 men what a man with a cane can do. His younger statesman, Chris McGill (WV 29er Crew), was barely in the rears on an average of one minute per 10 miles, while Charlotte, North Carolina phenomena Rich Dillen (Team Dicky), spent his time blowing hot breath on McGill's neck, but wasn't able to turn the legs faster to overcome his eight second deficit in the end.
Pennsylvania resident Mathew Ferrari (Mt Nittany Wheelworks) had to do battle with the recent winner of the 2008 Single Speed World championships facial hair contest Topher Valenti (Bikesport). His efforts netted him a fourth place overall and relegated Valenti to fifth.
Women's singlepeed won by Tomaszewski
Rebecca Tomaszewski (Wake Racing) won the women's singlespeed division ahead of Reenie Greene.
Master Division's Turner dominates
|
Greg Turner (RBM/Velo VooDoo) really left no room for guessing who was the strong man on the course this year by keeping everyone on his class at least an hour and twenty minutes off his wheel.
John Williams (Bike Line of Newark, DE) proved that their was room between the one-two duo of Turner and Scott Root (Dirty Harrys Bikes/Nimmo Chiropractic), and forced Root to stay on his game as the two came across the line only three minutes behind. Chris Wurster (Independent Fabrication) scooted across the line in a respectable fourth place while James Merton Wilson (Human Zoom Pabst Blue Ribbon) rounded out the top five.
Tahoe-Sierra Last Stop on the 2008 NUE series tour
This weekend the Tahoe Sierra 100 will mark the end of the 2008 NUE series. Look for some of the stiffest competition to show as every winner of the men's 2008 NUE series races. Jeremiah Bishop will be coming from two weeks at high elevation in Brian Head, Utah. Josh Tostado is driving out from Breckenridge, Colorado. Schalk and Eatough are trekking from the East, as well as Harlan Price, who will be returning to his first race since fracturing his wrist a month ago. Evan Plews, who has been absent from the hundred milers since Lumberjack, plans to attend. A US$2,500 for first place will be sure to pull a couple more heavy hitters to the line-up.
The women's field will have fewer of the top women, but Sornson has committed, and the rest are yet to be heard from.
Though the top overall spots are filled, there are still some battles for second and third overall positions in the series. Chris Eatough will have to keep Evan Plews behind him by the finish line to keep his small lead for second place. The men's singlespeed class now features a tie between Fuzzy John Myline and Chris McGill. All ties will be decided at the final race.
