Show Wed/Thurs/Fri, June 12-14, 2019 B-3 The Park Record Univ. of Utah residents lead Rambler VOTED PARK CITY’S BEST STEAK HOUSE 6 YEARS IN A ROW! Natalie Como wins for third straight year BEN RAMSEY The Park Record Two University of Utah medical residents captured first place at the Round Valley Rambler half marathon on Saturday as Natalie Como took first among women with a time of 1 hour, 39 minutes and 23.3 seconds, and Matt Braithwaite finished first overall with a time of 1:25:03.5. Braithwaite is an internal medicine resident while Como is a resident in internal medicine and pediatrics. “There’s four or five of us in the program who run a lot, so it’s a good bonding thing,” Como said. She said her medical training has influenced her running partly because of the health benefits, but mostly because the intense program demands some kind of other activity to balance it out. “It’s (beneficial to) both physical and mental health, because residency is hard and you don’t hardly have time to do anything,” she said. “But if you can keep that one consistent thing (that helps) … and I guess for us, it’s running. It kind of keeps you sane.” Como said she is able to stay competitive despite her medical schedule because she has simplified her life to four elements: working, running, eating and sleeping. “I think a lot of the other residents have their thing, like they TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD John Venner, in white, leads the pack as he and other runners take their first strides on trail in Round Valley during the annual race Saturday morning. The event offered two race distances — half-marathon and a 7K.

She and Braithwaite are scheduled to graduate their programs on June 30, though Como’s distance running won’t end there. She plans on competing in the California National Marathon in Sacramento on Dec. 8. Neither Como nor Braithwaite will be able to compete in the full Triple Trail Challenge. Como will miss the series’ other two races and Braithwaite will miss the Jupiter Peak Steeple Chase because of scheduling conflicts. That leaves both titles for the Triple Trail Challenge up for grabs. Last year’s overall Triple Trail Challenge winner, Mickey Wilson, was not on Saturday’s start list either. Como won the Rambler last year with a time of 1:44:51.3 and has taken the Triple Trail Challenge title for the past two years. She didn’t sweep the competition last season – her only outright win was the Rambler – but her combined time of 8:05:03 was enough to win. The season before, she won the Triple Trail Challenge with a time of 8:03. While the Rambler is Como’s favorite race, it was Braithwaite’s first time competing in Mountain Trails’ shortest run of the season. He had raced in the Jupiter Peak Steeplechase and the Mid Mountain Marathon in 2017, taking second in both. Braithwaite’s inability to compete for the Triple Trail title could leave the door open for John Venner, who took secPlease see Round, B-4 NOW OPEN for the SUMMER!

On Tuesdays from July 2 through Aug. 27, the resort will sell evening lift passes from 4-8 p.m. for $25, instead of clos- ing at 5 p.m. as it will on other nights. The extended hours will grant access to the same lifts and trails as services during regular hours of operation. “It gives people a chance to get up here after work,” Summers said. Additional services For those seeking a little more assistance getting around Deer Valley’s trails, the resort will continue to offer the services of mountain bike guides and rental equipment. This year, Deer Valley has purchased a brand new fleet of Rossignol bikes (All Tracks and All Track R-Duros of various sizes). The resort also offers bike lessons. “Mountain biking is very different from just riding a bike, so if you have never done true mountain biking it’s good to get a lesson,” Summers said. Patrons can also hire the same coaches to show them around the mountain.
