Photos from Race to the Top of VT

About three weeks ago the GRP skiers and biathletes as well as some of the GRP rowers, junior skiers, and the Craftsbury junior coach ran the Race to the Top of Vermont. While this post is a bit late, I figured better late than never! Racers climbed the Stowe Toll Road for 4.3 miles and gained about 2700 vertical feet. The weather for the race was beautiful albeit a bit on the warm side. Thus, the feed station half way up the road was a welcome sight and I ended up dumping more water over my head than I consumed. The Craftsbury athletes raced well and for a full breakdown of Craftsbury results you can take a look at this news article. You can find full results here. The following photos from the race include many (but not all) of the Craftsbury athletes (photos courtesy of Deb Miller).
