May 11th-12th Results (10.3 miles, 7.2, etc.)

Trail races are beautiful, but they also can bite. Our Amy learned this in the Hot Springs 18-mile race when she fell onto a rock and dramatically injured her face.

She saw again how strong this team’s support system is. Bill gave steady help from the time of Amy’s fall in the early miles until her man Gabe took over at the emergency room that afternoon. See before/after photos below.

Thanks to Lindsey and Kelly opening the store for our Sunday Runday.
