Congrats to Trisha Swanson from Oregon and Thomas Tan from Washington for winning Week 1 of the Montrail-Trail Run Times “My First Ultra Contest.” Trisha and Thomas receive a free pair of Montrail running shoes!  You can find their posts below and definitely check them out as both are fun, exciting reads.

The “My First Ultra” contest continues for another week.  This time we will be giving away a gear package from Montrail which includes a hooded sweatshirt, beanie, and running hat.  The theme is the same, “My First Ultra” and everyone who sent in a submission this past week, you are still in the running for this 2nd week of the contest.  Email new submissions (and photos if available) to trailruntimes@gmail.com and all submissions must be in by 12pm Pacific, Sunday, August 16, 2009.  Also be sure to check back as we will be having new contests for Weeks 3 and 4!
