2012 Race Director's Report A quick
Race Director's "race assessment" of the 8th Annual Psycho Wyco Run Toto
Run:
Well, having a very dry and runnable course made for some fast times at Run Toto Run.
I wrote a lot of checks, yesterday, for the 50K Mud Stud Challenge. We had twelve sub-five-hour 50K finishes,
led by Jeremy Duncan (Colorado), who works for TrailRunner magazine. His 4:21:12
finish was the third-fastest in the race's history. Two Emporia State (Kansas)
runners hit the first loop of the 50K hard, with a split that could have garnered first
and 2nd place in the ten-mile race. William Hohmeier and Ryan Hahn ran most of the race together, and finished
2nd and third, in rapid succession. The big story yesterday:
Kaci Lickteig (25), of Omaha, Nebraska blew away the 50K female course record with an incredible finish
time of 4:46:19! She is the only sub-five-hour female finisher (so far), in the eight
year history of this race. She had almost perfect loop splits: 1:34:00, 1:35:52,
1:36:27. To add to the scope of this accomplishment, this was Kaci's first trail race,
and her first ultra-distance event. Maybe the next "Ann Trason" will be from Omaha! Local
Trail Nerd, Mindy Coolman of Independence, Missouri took 2nd place female in the 50K, and had a great sub-six-hour
time of 5:38, good enough for a third best all-time result! Imagine this: Mindy is in great
company, with Kaci and world ultra great, Jamie Donaldson! She is definitely a TRUE
MUD STUD! Not withstanding Tina Long (a non-human), our third-place 50K (definitely human) female finisher was April Gochenour,
of Derby, Kansas. She is in the record books as being one of the few sub-six-hour
female finishers. In the 20-mile race, Brandon Hidaka of Westwood, Kansas hit his stride with a winning
time of 2:54:09. He was followed by Joe Fox, owner of Cycle City in Parkville, Missouri, and Lee Dixon, of KCMO.
Sanya Lenahan of Springfield, Missouri was first female, followed by First Master's
and 2nd-place overall, Suzie Scheer, who's run in a lot of Trail Nerd races, over the
years. Megan Brown of Parkville, Missouri rounded-out the top three. The 10-mile race had a stellar top finisher in Matt
Hill, of Boulder, Colorado. He had a world-class time (on this course) of 1:13:30.
Alex Rock of Chicago, Illinois secured 2nd place, while local runner Scott McVey of Lawrence,
Kansas took third. Kate Woodward drove over from Columbia, Missouri to crush the female
10-mile competition. Amanda Stafford and Hilda Audard Ottir-Goulay finished 2nd and third with very respectable
times. There are many other stories associated with this event. I am very proud
of the runners and the volunteers that braved the initially harsh conditions to participate. Thank you for a great
race! Happy trails,
Ben Holmes and the Trail Nerds

Race Special Thanks: Special thanks to all of our
wonderful volunteers, and our main sponsors Dynamic Earth and Providence Medical Center. Thanks to Noodles & Company for the meal money (to the Nerds), and Dynamic Earth for helping to set this up. And Wyandotte County Lake Park
Deputy Director and all of the helpful staff and rangers. KC Multisport stepped up to the plate and provided an additional
"staffed" aid station that was much appreciated by the runners. A Golite rep was there too, and gave away
some nice schwag with Dynamic Earth's excellent offerings. And special thanks to Ultimate Direction, who donated water bottles for folks that forgot theirs. Once again, James Barker made some fantastic soup...chicken
noodle and lentil. The Amos Family aid station had fantastic cookies and quesadillas. Cowboy Bob Bundschuh set
up the Wyco Triangle Aid station, and had some excellent staffing: Pat Perry, Mel Baldridge, Coleen Voeks, Chrisie Craig and
others. Vicki made her signature black bean soup, and had some great help from Scott, Terri Burlingame, Cheri Sutton,
and others. Debbie Webster and Julie Toft were interloper helpers that went everywhere. Shane and Brandy Jones
helped here, there and everywhere. Thanks to Raul and Jeremy for their endurance timing, and to Nancy for letting me
have Raul for all of Valentine's Day. And my son Matt Holmes, who endured and relished 2-1/2 days of hard
work, helping his Old Man. There were many others that I haven't mentioned that worked in the "invisible background"
of this race. Including the course-marking crew, and the folks that are (and will be) de-marking the course. Yes,
the work goes on and on. Thanks to everybody for a job
well done! 2008 Event
2008 Event Race Reports From Participants: We also had some very good comments, including: "I really appreciate your race and all that goes in to managing it. I am especially impressed with how
the back of the packers are treated. This was my 268th ultra or marathon and I rank your race as #1 for all aspects
of race spirit and organization. Thank you."

The 2008 Psycho WyCo Run Toto Run and Psychopathic 5K is now history. We set a couple of records, this year. We had an attendance record, with over 400 showing
up on race day to run. And we had our 50K course record shattered by 26-year old Matthew Laye from Columbia, Missouri,
in a time of 4:19:42 ! Not bad, even for this "flatter
than a pancake" Kansas course, with the "perpetually perfect" course and weather conditions that are always
encoutered in this little corner of our fair state. (What's a little mud between friends)?

get a finisher's dog tag medal, please go to Garry Gribble's Running Sports on 119th & Quivira, to get your medal.
Any out-of-towners that didn't receive a medal, contact me directly, and I'll take care of you.
