An finishes Off the front, Salt Lake City's Bart Gillespie burns the competition By ADRIANNE KROEPSCH Record Intern Ten-plus hours and 100 miles after Saturday's Endurance 100 commenced. Bart Gillespie of Salt Lake City finished in first place (10:09). long before second-place second-place finisher Glen Adams of Sandv. Utah (10:52) and third place John Olden of Park City (11:25). Looking hardly harried or over-heated. Gillespie reasoned that he had to finish early because he was due at a friend's wedding wed-ding that evening. A salty film over his team Biogen Inec garb was the only telltale tell-tale sign of the day's 18.627 feet of climbing climb-ing and Wasatch wanderlust. "The race went really well. I didn't have any problems other than one flat." said Gillespie. He estimated that the hiccup hic-cup added four or five minutes to his lime. Flat tires are to be expected on 100 miles of technical single track, but Young Rider Connor Dougherty, who rode the first leg of the Young Rider relay, didn't expect to get three of them. "I triple-flatted and had to run the last four miles," said Dougherty of his cyclo-cross cyclo-cross finish. No matter, the Young Riders squad crushed the majority of the relay competition competi-tion (11:16), aiming in second only to the Up Town Skidders, who took the overall relay title with an 11:02 clock. Hie boys are looking to ride the 50-mile course next year, but shy away from an epic century race. "He's insane. Really extreme," commented com-mented one Young Riders when asked about Gillespie. Gillespie passed Adams during stage three, while climbing back up after descending Spin Cycle. "I went pretty hard for a while to catch him. I kind of reeled him in on the climb, and once I passed him it gave me the confidence con-fidence to keep my own pace." he said.

Deters finished fourth in the 100-miler with a time of 11 :27. Ron Lindley. race director, expanded: "I've known both of these guys for a long time. They've both been riding since their early teens, so they're very strong riders and very knowledgeable riders. They know their bodies and how to pace 100-iniles. 100-iniles. Obviously, they amazed everybody." According to Lindley. there were no major crises during the ElOO's maiden voyage. "'litis was a grand experiment and we had a lot to prove. Boris Lyubnerj and I were really confident that we could execute exe-cute a really nice race." he said. With 100-miles of variables, there are bound to be some mjx-ups. however. Of the 228 entrants. 49 did not finish, largely because the course was so difficult. "We had a few riders get lost. I always say that I like to mark my courses so that even Ray Charles couldn't get lost, but it's impossible to do that for a full 100-miles." Please see Racers, B-5 Park City jumpers and Euros show well at Cup By ADRIANNE KROEPSCH Record Intern Women's ski jumping saw a shuffling of the deck at The 2004 Ladies International Ski Jumping Festival this weekend at the Utah Olympic Park. Despite complaints about the altitude and a raging tailwind. the Europeans came out swinging - or. soaring, that is - and took the top two spots on the Park City podium. Austrian competitor Daniela Iraschko placed first overall, while coming into the competition seeded at third in the world rankings, and Norwegian competitor Annette Sagen took second overall, while coming into the competition seeded at first. The weekend-long jump fest gave competitors com-petitors traveling from far and wide the chance to accumulate as many frequent flyer meters as possible by competing in two separate sepa-rate Continental Cup events on the K90 hill, one on Friday and one on Saturday. "I'm very glad that I could do well in such altitude and with a backwind. I'm a flyer," said Iraschko after winning jumps of 9396-mcters 9396-mcters Friday, plus 9290.5-meter winners on Saturday. Adding style and landing points to a combined score of overall distances tallied winning totals of 244.5 and 226.5 points over the weekend. Iraschko's two first-place finishes fin-ishes will put her in the lead of the 2004 standings. The Women's Continental Cup was the first opportunity for most of the Europeans to jump in the United States, as ski jumping traces its roots back to northern Europe and competitions are usually held across the pond.
