2013 SCHNELLSTEIGEN!!!!!

RESULTS ARE IN!!!!

The 2013 SCHNELL was awesome. Cold and a bit breezy with a 34 degree temp at the summit and spitting snow. The new honor roll can be found in the right hand column under "Testing 13-14". Another DETAILED post later this week will explain the new time adjustments of 45 seconds for men and 1 minute for women. A big shout out to our top male and female finishers. Jordan Fields ran the 5th fastest time in history and Olivia Meyerson was 11th on the all time list (Tsaina Mahlen was only 1 second behind and 12th all time).

With all of the training and tough workouts we do I think the finishing 5 minutes of this race is the most painful experience of the entire year. Here are a few pictures from the day and individual shots taken about 1:30 from the finish showing all of our team experiencing the full depth of the "PAIN CAVE". GREAT JOB TEAM AND WAY TO ROCK THE COW!!
