It was a big weekend for racing, and the snow, rain and colder temps made for some tough racing conditions. Congrats to the large group that invaded the trails at Land Between the Lakes and brought away some hardware including overall women’s 50 mile winner Cathy Downes, Congrats also to Martha and Tom on the tough Asheville NC Marathon, and Ellen and Mikki on the One City Marathon in VA where it seems getting back home proved to be harder than the marathon.
On the International scene and much warmer conditions, Congrats to Ted Barron on the Barcelona Spain Marathon finish,Felicidades a un gran funcionamiento Ted!
Good Luck this weekend to those that stay sober enough St. Patrick's Day and run the Run of Luck on Saturday morning, and to those running the Raccoon Mountain Marathon in Chattanooga and the Publix Georgia Marathon in Atlanta, for those not racing this weekend there is a 16 miler below if you so choose to head east.
See You Saturday!
