The 2010 Bolder Boulder was simply a lot of fun. I work with two athletes who had the good fortune to run in the race. Renee Metivier-Baillie was the first American, finishing ninth; Brent Vaughn‘s fourth place made him the first American. The elite race is scored like cross country, with three person teams totaling a score. Renee ran for Team USA, who finished third behind Ethiopia and Kenya. Brent ran as part of Team Colorado, which finished second behind Ethiopia’s perfect score of six points.
I will share some thoughts throughout the week on the race that are germane to training and the weeks leading up the race. Two articles were very complimentary, one for Boulder’s Mike Sandrock and one from the Denver Post.
…and one of my favorite former athletes, Anthony Chiulli, also had a part in the festivities. Check him out at the 3:45 mark of the video below.
