Race Report from March 17-18


Ron Wyant (pictured above) sent in the following:
"The Assault on Black Rock this past weekend was one of the most challenging races I've done. I talked two friends into joining me. It was their first trail race. (some friend I am) Most of the course was technical and steep. It was my first race since a knee injury I received during the Tsali 30K back in Jan.. My knee held up and we really enjoyed ourselves. One of my friends did receive a belt buckle for finishing in under 101 minutes. Maybe next year I'll be in better shape and get that buckle."

"
My adventure racing team WRFF - Sweat Sisters, participated in the Jackrabbit Mountain Adventure Race on Saturday March 17 in Hayesville, NC. The three of us had a great time, despite the drizzly morning. We ran, trekked, canoed, mountain biked, sweated for almost 8 hours, and enjoyed our day in the mountains."
