2010 Pikes Peak Marathon – Carpenter Remains King In Colorado Race
The 2010 Pikes Peak Marathon, offered fair conditions and another notch in the belt of local resident, Matt Carpenter. Dominating throughout, Carpenter was consistently strong, finishing nearly a minute and a half ahead of fellow Manitou resident Daryn Parker.
Parker perhaps could have put together a stronger attack had he not taken three spills, a common occurrence on the terrain of this classic Colorado running race. But Carpenter’s experience (respect to the 46 year old) helped him confidently take his 11th title on this course.
On the womens side, Keri Nelson of Moab was even more dominant. Leading by 15 minutes at the top, she only added to her lead on the descent, finishing the second half of her double (yep, ran the ascent the day before) in 4:34:24.
