Laurel and I pose with RD Carol Meader after the race atop Beautiful Hackers Hill in Casco, Maine. Awards were on the summit and winners were awarded homemade pies…yum! There were a lot of other prizes that were given out by random draw. A very nice race indeed! Thanks to Carol and the MANY volunteers for a fun time!!!

 Laurel placed 3^rd in her age group here and earned 55.91 points for a two race total of 111.31 points. She is quite excited about the 3^rd race, the Race to the Top of Vermont that takes place on Sunday, August 25^th on the Famous Mount Mansfield Toll Road in Stowe, Vermont. It is 4.3 miles in length rising 2,564’ from a starting elevation of 1,279’ up to 3.843’.
