Congrats Carlos!

Carlos is a runner, there's no denying it. He runs on streets, sidewalks, paved roads, dirt trails but decided to compete in a trail run. He's been itching to participate in Vasque Peters Canyon Summer Trail Run Series (3 races during the summer) put on by http://www.renegaderaceseries.com/ . He missed June's event, just did July's, and plans to do August.

It's a 5 mile run through Peters Canyon, the flat, the sandy, and the hilly. He anticipated a 55 minute run so I timed my own pace to make sure I was at the finish line when he came in. With all the excitement and adrenaline, he powered through and finished in 42 minutes (8.40 minute mile). Great time for someone that hasn't trained on rough terrain.

I'll post a sweet video and some pictures soon!
