Stull wins by one second in fastest-ever Frosty Bottom

A dip in temperatures helped make the ninth annual Frosty Bottom race the fastest ever.

Riding on a course made hard and fast by the cold, fat-tire biker Jamey Stull eked out a one-second victory in the 50-mile race from Kincaid Park to Hilltop and back.

Stull edged defending champion Tim Bernston to join Bernston as the only two-time overall champs in the 50-mile race, which draws bikers, runners and skiers.

Stull finished in 2 hours, 40 minutes, 20 seconds. Bernston was right behind in 2:40:21, followed closely by Will Ross in 2:40:25.

The previous fastest time was Brian Bonney's 2:48:05 in 2011. Stull and Bonney can both claim they are record-holders, however, because the course was modified this year.

Until 2011, no one had made the 50-mile trip over snow and ice in less than three hours. Bonney led a group of five bikers who broke that barrier four years ago, and in 2013 Stull and Ross also recorded sub-3:00 times, with Stull winning in 2:57:23.

Conditions were so fast Saturday that the fastest woman, Jamey's wife Amber, was only 70 seconds off Bernston's winning time of 3:00:01 from a year ago.

Amber Stull's time of 3:01:11 put her eight minutes ahead of Jill Simek, the women's runner-up.

In the 50-mile run, Matias Saari triumphed in 7:03.28. Sharing second place, nine minutes behind Saari, were Fred Hveding and Rachael Gano in 7:12:26. Gano was more than 30 minutes ahead of the next-fastest woman.

While the icy conditions were perfect for bikers and not bad for runners, they were miserable for skiers. Only two skiers made it to the finish line -- Gavin Kentch in the 50-miler and Seth Downs in the 25-mile race, which ended at Hilltop.

Other 25-mile winners were bikers Ethan Lynn (1:34:30) and Sheryl Loan (1:36:40) and runners Jim McDonough (2:48:27) and Katie Oviatt (2:55:48).
