Erik Skaggs and Joelle Vaught took advantage of the 80 degree weather at Willamette Pass, OR, to set new course records at the Where's Waldo 100k yesterday.

Looks like the early results for the Leadville 100 are also posted. Colorado's Timmy Parr (17:27:23) and Leadville local Lynette Clemons (20:58:01) ran to victory, with top 10 performances from Garret Graubins, Andy Jones-Wilkins, and Bryon Powell. Anton Krupicka's DNF is a good read too; I love that he so graciously shares his successes and defeats.
