Jamie Berns won the 97th Dipsea Race last weekend, becoming the first person to even win the Dipsea Triple Crown - the Quad Dipsea, Double Dipsea, and Dipsea Race all in one year. 56-year-old Berns from Corte Madera, CA, used her 17 minute handicap advantage to hold off second place (and three-time former winner) Russ Kiernan by one minute and forty seconds. You can read the details of her journey at the Marin Independent Journal (MIJ). The MIJ also has a great audio slideshow of the 2007 Dipsea here.
Thanks to Mark Tanaka for sending this my way. Congratulations, Jamie! You are a total rock star.

How awesome! I inadvertantly joined in on a run on Mt Tam full of individuals training for the Dipsea, including Jamie, about 3 weeks before the race. Needless to say, I barely clung to the back of the pack :P. She seemed like such a great person and amazing athlete when I met her and it's so awesome that she achieved such a unique milestone!
