4th Annual San Gabriel Mtns 50k Trail Race MT. WILSON, CA, FEB 2, 2001 7:00 RD Jim O'Brien Results courtesy of Jeff Robbins. The SGM 50k has an epic downhill start, with a protracted "come-to-Jesus" uphill finish. This separates ultra sheep from goats, big time. It must be noted that Tom Nielsen got an extremely tardy start out of the parking lot, at least a full minute behind the pack. Jorge Pacheco led thru Sturdevant 1 [17 miles], but slipped to second on the second Sturdevant pass. Mark Marcelli caught him on the way to the summit. Suzanne Brana led the women's field with a strong lead. No doubt other race reports will follow shortly. 'Nuff said! PL. NAME AGE TIME PACE === =================== ======= ===== 1.
