In the spirit of Constantina T.D and Dara Torres...

How cool is this? Kami Semick, a very strong ultrarunner (tons of wins in the last few years on various difficult courses), who is also over 40, was the first woman in the Portland Marathon today! The second woman was a full five minutes behind her, and the male winner was a good 10 years younger. What an inspiring athlete....

That's amazing. Sometimes people will look at our per minute mile pace in these ultras and just assume we are a bunch of slow pokes...umm guys it's trail with hills. It's nice to see a strong ultra gal rip it up on a road course.
