Little Bit About the Triple Crown Event

This Saturdays race - the Triple Crown Event - will prove a unique challenge. Three events virtually back to back - a half marathon, 10k and a 5k, the faster each event is run the more rest a runner will have. Of course too fast and the runner will pose the risk of burning out for the later races. Interesting. This is a trail race as well, with mutiple stream crossings to add to the fun. Last year my wife and I ran the marathon instead of the Triple Crown event and that too was a challenge, as all marathons, especially trail marathons, are. We opted for the Triple Crown this year for various reasons but fun and challenging top the list. Plus we get a finishers mug - and I like mugs. Wish us (and Matt and Melissa) luck! Eric
