The previous record of 6:05:31 was set by Ben Hian in 1997. Last year I wrote about how Peter just missed the record in 1999 when he ran 6:08:52, and then missed it again last year when he did 6:06:07. This year he clearly set the record straight! Tania Pacev missed the women's record by less than a minute! She looked fresh and strong at the finish. The record, set by Julie Arter in 2000, is 7:22:45. If anyone wants the full, gory details of the Avalon 50, I have all of the split times. I can provide either a plain ASCII file or a .dbf file, and I can either email it or provide it on an anonymous ftp site. Just send me an email off-line. Booth Hartley booth@ipac.caltech.edu
