Mother Nature gave us a run for our money. We postponed a week due to rain and then she gave us dense fog well into the morning yesterday. However, we (and 69 of our closest friends) did not let her get us down. The day was gorgeous and fun was had by all. We did not have any Fastest Time teams this year, but we are happy to announce the winners of Optimum Time (which was 1:26:45 over a 7.3 mile course):
2nd Place - Time of 1:32:00 - Team #4
Bridget Cochran and Tiffany Long
AND
Time of 1:32:00 - Team #12
Karen DeOrnellas, Bruce Hough, and Susan Hough
4th Place - Time of 1:44:00 - Team #3
Kim Martus and Matt Martus
5th Place - Time of 1:44:10 - Team #1
Lauren Newberry, Felina Nolte and Tracy Young
6th Place - Time of 1:45:00 - Team #21

As always, we couldn't do this without the support and cooperation of our landowners, who were particularly flexible this year, and our volunteers who identify, clear, mark and unmark the trails, take the photos (which will be out later this week) and host the event at the fixture. A heartfelt thank you to all of the landowners, volunteers and participants. Until next spring!
