the first SM 100
I found this gem while moving stuff off my old computer to a new one. I've been moving this file around to many computers since 1999. Figured, might as well let Blogger store it too.
This is from Oct 2, 1999. The original Labor Day date was flooded out from a hurricane. Extra points for anyone who can remember the hurricane name??
Director Sportif Carpenter made this video. It has a great account of the front of the race. Cool seeing the lead group of 4 familiar guys dwindle down to one. Chris actually raced the first race, and, crashed on cue for us. Amazing seeing Eatough charge into the FS 85 turn. That is certainly not how I feel at that spot. Enjoy!

Good times fer sure.
Ernesto is my guess for the hurricane.
Think it wsa dennis.
All I remember about it was being damn cold crossing the river at the end. That and Buck stopping cause he thought me and Roman were adjusting our headsets.
Hey Larry, I think this is actually 2000.
I thought it might be 2000 too, but didn't Chris race only the first one?
Great video. Thanks for sharing!

Has anyone seen Bill Moslow?
It was Dennis. 8-10 inches of rain and me camped in the field.
The make up date more than made up for it. Best weather for any of the 100's.
I'd seen Moslow's name for a few years after in the results of various adventure races. I guess spending the night is more accepted in those kinds of races.
