What a fun weekend for racing! It gets boring if every race is under calm winds and blue skies 🙂 . We want to especially recognize Darren West, Sheri Anne Nelson, and Marianna Heon. All three raced events held in brutal conditions and did well to finish.
Darren West raced the 50 Mile Whiskey 50 MTB race. The day started with freezing temperatures and hail and only got worse from there. Darren finished in 6:23. The DNF rate was over 50%.
Sheri Anne Nelson took on the Zane Grey 50Mile ultra run. The ZG is known as one of the hardest ultra runs around but the conditions this weekend made it so tough that the organizers had to shorter the 50 miler to a 53K. Sheri Anne finished strong in 8:16 and took 6th female and 57thoverall.
And finally, Marianna Heon ran the RAGNAR Trail Zion Relay in Utah. The picture with this post is from that race. Epic conditions or what?? Her team earned their medals and then some for this race!
Great guts Sheri Anne, Darren, and Marianna!
