Rock River Run

In what I hope will become an off season tradition, 6 of our athletes tested themselves against Rock River Road this past Saturday.  Rock River Road starts in the middle of nowhere at the base of the foothills and after 8.5 miles of flat and uphill running, tops out in the middle of nowhere in the lower foothills.

I plan to begin keeping all time best lists for this run.  To get on the list, you need to be able to finish the run. To be able to finish the run, you need to be doing your off season mileage.

This year the 3 who finished the run on foot were:
Tristan Edwards
Jared Williams
Wyatt Mitchell

Two more athletes,

 Dalton Santiesteban and Jaymie Jackson,  made the climb on bikes, as they are nursing knee issues.

Garrett Hartman sacrificed his chance to get on our innagural all time ascent list.  He, along with me, had to first drive to the top of the road so that the team would have a way to get back down. Garrett instead ran to the top of Rushing Mountain then returned to the truck.
