YogaSlackers have a good weekend

Three YogaSlackers raced this last weekend in non-adventure race settings, and they all surprised themselves with with top 10 finishes.

Andy Magness ran in the annual Detroit Lake's olympic distance Triathlon - testing out his very unorthodox 3-hr per week training plan. As a new father, he is determined that with the right training and intensity, 3 hours a week could let him compete with other elite athletes following the more traditional 15 hr/week plans. He ended up in 8th overall, with a field of over 250.

Chelsey Gribbon and Jason Magness had just finished a 17-hr drive and ended up in Vining, MN, just before the start of the Annual WaterMelon Days "Run for the Melon" 10k race. They entered, feeling a bit hungover from the sleep deprivation of months on the road teaching. They decided to run together, with Jason trying to keep Chelsey on a strong pace. Despite a bit of tension between the couple in the middle of the race, Chelsey came across 3rd female, and 2nd in her age group. Jason was 8th male, 2nd in his age group. It was their first run in over 3 months! The pair immediately inverted into yogic headstands as recovery, and spent the afternoon enjoying the rest of the fair festivities. They ended the afternoon doing an impromptu acrobatic performance to old-time Polka music.
