Peter Maksimow took an early lead and never looked back in the Greenland Trail 50k on Saturday at the Greenland Open Space near Larkspur. Maksimow finished in 3:25:14, about two minutes off of the course record set by Justin Ricks in 2009.
"Getting the record was the goal, but on that last lap I was getting fatigued. Maksimow, who placed 8th in the Pikes Peak Ascent last year, said he had only gone 50K (31 miles) one other time in a training run. In the women's 50k, Melanie Fryar of Greenwood Village took the win in 4:03:30.
