New Englands at Twin Brook last year was my favorite race yet because I cane off a really bad week at states and ran really well and was leading with a mile to go and in 3rd with 300 to go before I fell in some mud and got 5th.
Outside of running, I love to snowmobile, I hate winter but I can deal with it because of snowmobiling.
