Rocky Raccoon 100 Mile Trail Run
Huntsville, TX
February 7-8, 2004

Rocky Raccoon is sporting a new look this year. Along with this new look came the largest starting field in Rocky's history for both the 100 miler and the 50 miler. The 6am start was on a beautiful cool morning under a full moon. The temperature climbed from 27 degrees then dropped back down to 30 on the following morning. No rain and little wind made for a gorgeous day and night if not a bit on the frigid side. David Burlser completed the 1st of five 20 mile loops in first, followed by a pack of four. Rainer Kock moved into the lead on lap and remained there for the duration, finishing in 16:02. Paul Frost ran his first 100 miler in 16:12 and was ten minutes back in 2nd. Kirk Anderson was 3rd in 16:55. Julie Fingar was first woman in 17:37 with Amanda McIntosh 2nd in 18:04 and Kathy Pidcock 3rd in 20:18. The park had been a swamp just days prior the race with a foot of water rolling over Amy's Crossing, but the excellent drainage had it mostly clear by race start. The race route was in better than usual conditions but for a few low lying bogs. Temps plummeted after dark, but the clear cool night, with no wind made for excellent running conditions.
A record number of finisher (113) and sub-24 (54) runners followed suite.
