In 2010, Eric Blake was having a great race in the Pikes Peak Ascent. Then the group of guys he was running with, veered off course. He had bad memories of Pikes Peak until Saturday when he charged to the win in the 2013 Ascent. Blake, 34, of West Hartford, Conn., finished in 2:13:45, more than nine minutes ahead of second-place Greg Ruckman of Breckenridge. Simon Gutierrez, 47, of Colorado Springs, a three-time Pikes Peak Ascent champ, placed third in 2:27:27.
