The Grand Trifecta for BMMC

Current BMMC Stat Sheet:
- 2008, 12 foot track - Victory and new Course Record (shogun)
- 2009, 6 foot track - Victory and new Course Record (ST)
- 2009, TNF 100 - Victory and new Course Record (Gotta Go)

Reading like a Tiger Wood Resume, the BMMC has taken out all 3 trail running Majors in the last 9 months. The above clearly indicating a new golden era in trail running eminating almost entirely from the Blue Mountains region, including all its postcodes from Mt Vic to Lower Glenbrook. The BMs are obvioulsy a breeding ground for record breaking performances of the trail nature.

To those who live there, train or grew up in the Mtns there were no surprises on the weekend. The performances of the humble Andrew Lee (aka the new DK) and Shogun humbled the biggest names in the sport again on the weekend, including DK himself who stated "its the toughest 100k course he has ever attempted". Note: the BMMC would be happy to sign a poster for DK if he would like one?

Well done to all BMMC memebers who ran, particularly Dr Phil for his gutsy and gritty performance and course photography, and to Prince Donga for facing down the eye of personal adversity with characteristic BMs style. To all crewage and the club house secretary, thanks for the Pizza and ending to a great weekend.

As we say in the BMMC, "If your training on the flats, your not really training"

Ok, not sure if Shogun was a BMMC member when winning 12 foot but you can have it. Anyway, an analysis of your results shows that the BMMC may be in danger of becoming 'horses for courses' winners. No results outside of the wonderful Blue Mts as of yet. Can the BMMC crack a win outside the BM, maybe somewhere like...Austria??

I beg to differ in the not formally regognised yet statement. as it only takes self recognition in a public forum with the holding of a BM post code and you are BMMC.

As such having petitioned such thought here you have and are. welcome of course.

We shall over look the thought on running outside the BM. why would you when you can run in them

Very good point Scam. Was thinking about my comment here a bit today and thought you guys could draw upon an often used rugby league phrase of "fortress (insert home ground name here). Therefore with these dominant displays on home soil you have turned the mountains into Fortress BM.
