Joe Gray ran the second fastest time ever at the Mt. Ashland Hill Climb in 1:47:29, winning easily. A point to point course that climbs over 5600' starting at Ashland's Lithia Park (1900') and finishing on top of Mt. Ashland (7533').
Dwight Shuler from Team Roam/Inov-8 doubled up this weekend and raced solo at the Captain Thurmond's Challenge at the New River Gorge in WV on Saturday (12 mile mtn bike ride, 8 mile class 4 white water paddle and an 8 mile mostly uphill trail run) Dwight took second OA this year with a time of 3:02 in defending his title here from last year. Then on Sunday, Dwight (pictured) raced the Lake Logan Sprint Triathlon with little sleep or rest and finished 3rd AG (1:14:59). Dwight wore the F-lite 301 PK shoes for the 5k portion on Sunday
This triathlon is part of the 2-day Lake Logan Multi-Sports Festival. This year it included the 2009 USAT Aquathlon National Championships where Anne Lundblad (pictured) took on a new challenge. A 1500 meter swim followed by a 5k road race. Anne was 47th out of the water (30:16 for 1500m), but made up lots of ground with the fastest women's run time of the day (18:46). Anne took 3rd AG in her first Aquathlon. Anne wore the F-lite 230's in the 5k and the Sleeveless Comp 1 Wetsuit from 2XU for the swim. Great job everyone!
