Corrected: Todd Braje, who's got a 5:30 50 miler to his name, will be attempting a second win at Tussey Mountain 50M this weekend. Wardian will also be there. Should be a great race.
Hey guys, I'm as much a fan of Todd Braje as anyone, but he HAS lost a 50mi--he was 4th in the 2008 American River 50--and I am 100% positive that at least a half-dozen Americans (and probably way more) have run faster than 5:30 for 50mi. I can't find any kind of definitive list or record anywhere, but I know for sure that Frank Bozanich--who you just interviewed--has run in the 5:12 region for 50 miles.

ReplyDeleteBrain fart. How could I forget that American River? Classic race.
Bad morning for fact checking! I was thinking of Todd's 5:30 as fastest for that year. Again, my mistake.
Frank's record is 5:05 in 1979. Smoooooking!
Thanks for staying on it! All is corrected.
