 		   The Skinny:
 The race had gotten rescheduled from earlier in the year, so the participation was low, but Angie and Eddie put on a great race nonetheless that was a ton of fun and probably a little shorter than expected

Who Raced:
Nicol Rodgers, Nancy Bills, Damon Farrar and Richard Jensrud

Favorite Part:
We got to race in a great park with an awesome paddle together with our friends on "Old Shoes, Bad Bike" and "Team TOW" ... it was also Nancy's first race with the Mongrels

Least Favorite Part:
Even though we blew by the competition on the bike leg, the trails were hardly bikeable (at least for us non-professional mountain bikers) ... we felt like we pulled, pushed and dragged our bikes through the woods for a couple of hours ... rather than a fun, fast single track we might've wished for
Also, Team TOW was hit with a rattlesnake bite, which is always a little scary, but luckily everyone was ok after a couple of days at the hospital and no permanent injuries sustained
