APU being a presence at the Bird Ridge Mountain Run (Technically Robert Spurr Memorial Hill Climb).

Actually there were a lot of other APU-ers there who weren't around when we took the picture. Big congrats to Brent Knight for getting second in the men's race and to Holly Brooks (coach) for winning the women's race. So much for telling athletes to come to APU to get fast, even if you come to coach you get fast! Brooks is a fellow Whitman Ski Team alum so I'm particularly proud of her. I suppose I could call her a fellow Whitman College alum but there's 350 of those being created every year and only a few Ski Team alums so being a ski team alum must be way more prestigious... right?

We also had some of our juniors have excellent finishes but I don't recall off the top of my head.

I raced, had fun, finished somewhere after fifth but before tenth I think. I haven't seen actual results. But the results aren't really the point anyway. The point is 54 minutes of solid L4 effort... that's good training.
