Mt. Washington History
By: Tom Moore
Pam Moore finished third women (first NH woman) twice in the early nineties 1992 & 1993. Her times were 1:20:33 and 1:20:57. Those earned her the Crossen Cup (1st NH woman), which I believe is in a box in our basement. Pam is pretty damn tough; she ran up the mountain in 1992 ( & 1993) without doing any significant hill work (we never thought about going over to Ascutney…or perhaps it was the fact that we had two little ones at home, full-time work and we had to trade off workout times). It was especially hard the second year as she had an emergency appendectomy in May. She lost at least three weeks of training due to that.
We really, really enjoyed the camaraderie of the whole Mt Washington Road Race experience. Certainly, a great club experience. We both “ran” the race a couple of times in the late 1980’s, without the benefit of much training and Pam ran it again in 2010 with her niece who had just graduated high school. I’ve attached an article that I found in our box of photographs kept under one of the beds. With no races going on, maybe it would be interesting to put it in the newsletter.
