FlatRock 101K Race Report – Part II – “The Goonies! or “Move over Yeti, This is Sasquatch Territory”
I just want to give a short disclaimer before I post this one. This is long, just like the race. As much as I like to try and entertain readers, I also like to document my own thoughts and feelings. Personally I think it is entertaining, but it is long. So if you are all […]
