Pam Reed, director of December’s Tucson Marathon, had a remarkable month of competition in September. She was the eighth overall American woman to finish the Ultra Trail du Mont-Blanc near Chamonix, France — a 100-mile run that reached into Italy and Switzerland — requiring 38 hours and 40 minutes. She also ran the 100-mile Wasatch Front race, third of all women in 31 hours and 38 minutes. Next week Reed, 55, will compete in the Ironman World Championships in Hawaii. Amazing.
