ROC Rocks!

Hello ROC

I would like to Thank all of you for your fantastic support today at the GutBuster. Once again you all came through and did an amazing job. I won’t name names as I know I will forget someone’s name, but it was an amazing turnout of ROC members. We must have had over 30 people volunteering. Thanks to all of your efforts; Runners of Compassion raised $680.00 today.

The race went off with out a hitch (well okay, a few people went off track in the early portion) but other than that we rocked. The report back from the runners I spoke with was that they loved the course, they thought it was tough – some people thought it would an easy trail run….figure that out? They loved the constant changes in running surface and are already talking about coming back next year.

The two ladies that went down on the Cabin Connector section are okay. One lady had fallen down and cut her head, but is okay at last report. The other lady Bonked big time. She was apparently running like she was intoxicated and then became very disoriented and then fainted. Hubert, Kent, the medic and the radio crew did a great job.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
