Team AV running The Gorge!

A night of rain before the race ensured that this would be a challenging event indeed! I was actually impressed with the quality of the trail, although we did get a fair bit of mud! Taylor kicked some butt out there, swiping 2nd place overall male in the 6.5 mile race. My race was tough and personally not what I wanted, but I have to keep in mind the purpose was to see if my foot was healed enough to race in a longer event. It did well with little discomfort afterwards. My body however felt the effects of not training much for 2 months. I ended up taking 11th out of 43 women in the 6.5mile event, which I guess isn't so bad. (but considering how much I walked, I know I could have done some damage out there if I had been feeling chipper!)

Some great photos can be seen at

I am bad and didn't have my AV gear on.. shame shame. I didn't have body glide with me and the tri top would have chafed me like crazy. I thought I had my hat but it was left on my bed in Atl :(

I highly recommend Rock Creek events to all!
