Life sometimes throws you curveballs a little more than 12 hours prior to the race start. For reasons I still do not completely understand, on Saturday around noon I managed to tweak my back while trying on some…

Race #203Timed Race #22022 Race #112022 Timed Race #1Resolution Run #2 This “Race” functioned as an opportunity to get in a long run with minimal elevation gain and a medal. I had 16 miles on the plan so I signed us up for the three hour version. (The race also has 6 and 12 hour…
