Løypa i Cougar 13.1 Mile Trail Run var utfordrende med løping på smal sti og til sammen 810 høydemeter å forsere. Løpet gikk utenfor Seattle og fungerte som statsmesterskap for staten Washington.

- Jeg tror jeg er i ganske god form nå, men tida mi ble 1.55.31 i den 21,8 km lange løypa, forteller Gerard som så sent som i fjor høst løp halvmaraton på 1.11.51. Det forteller litt om hvor krevende traseen var.

- På sitt fæleste var det 250 høydemeter svingete ned, 50 m over en elv, og med en gang 200 høydemeter opp igjen med ødelagte lår!

Gerard var drøye kvarteret bak vinneren, Uli Steidl, som brukte 1.39.28. Raskeste dame bar samme etternavn, Trisha Steidl, og hun brukte 2.10.25. Meike Hesselink noterte 2.43.22 og var godt fornøyd med sitt løp.
