MASS 9hr Relay

MASS 9hr Relay
So we head to the MASS 9hr relay with a few WV cohorts in crime and after much deliberating, decide 4 of us are all going to do the relay as solo. There is also a night time trial the night before which we do as well, after getting our camp/pit area all set up.
The night time trial proves tricky, as I never saw the course at all and it's VERY twisty & tight, although exciting it is hard to carry speed and easy to not make some bends. There are a few quickly approaced obstacles and steep ups that surprise you. Dirt Rag was here and Karen Brooks did the time trial too, we know that sometimes we are kind of the same pace so we use that to judge how we do. Karen comes in 20 seconds faster than me (Time Trial Results) and we are about midpack of the 7 girls going for solo the next day. This sets a little perspective on how things will go. There are some familiar names on the girls listed and I know a few are fast and they prove this to be true! Final Relay Results of our group:

JR Petsko-25th out of 31 starters with 6 laps
Chris McGill-SS-1st place with 10 laps
Justin Pokrivka-2nd place with 10 laps
Ruth-5th out of 11 starter with 7 laps

This is a really nice private property course, highly recommend for the drive from Pittsburgh.
