Barr Trail Predictions

It was the eve of the Barr Trail Mountain Race,

And all was calm around the place,

As racers planned to run their best,

A little faster than all the rest,

With Matt the man, at forty-three,

All set to leave some dust for thee,

And he’ll probably even be there waitin’,

At the finish line, for that youngster, Payton,

And Daryn Parker, my pick for third,

Will barely finish without a word,

When Johnny Tribbia, fresh from Vail,

Will stumble in right on his trail,

And then Dave Mackey, feeling fit,

Will outrun Mike Selig to land in fifth.

The women’s race will never bore ya’,

But the winner will be a girl named Laura,

And then behind her, two more masters,

A fight for second, who will be faster,

Susan Nuzum or Lisa Marie?

I think it’ll be some fun to see,

And then comes Kelli Lusk a’jammin’,

With Leighan Lawrentz right there hammerin’.

And there’s top five, and maybe six,

That’s my guess, what are your picks?

Women’s:  1. Laura Haefli  2. Lisa Goldsmith  3. Susan Nuzum  4. Kelli Lusk  5. Leighann Lawrentz
