Bob Clouston owns Umstead. Jen Lebendig conquers Terrapin

Bob, at race finish with crew Marc Griffin and Christian Dahlhausen.

We have two great CAT reports to read from recent race finishes.

The first is Bob Clouston's report from the Umstead 100 mile Endurance Run. Bob finished his first 100-miler in a little over 26 hours, and aside from a down period during loop 6, had an amazingly strong race. You can read his race report here. 

The second report is from Jen Lebendig, who finished her first Terrapin Mountain 1/2 marathon week before last.

Jen, atop Terrapin Mountain (above) and with race
mementos (below).
