Spring Handicap Series

The Spring Handicap Series is starting on February 4th! It is only $5 for the whole series but it is also only open to club members. So what better reason to sign up than race in the series where anyone can win?! Remember, it is $5/$10/$15 for students, individuals, and families, respectively.

All races will start at the NMT pool (except #2!!!) and some will have brunches afterwards. This last race starts in the evening and ends at the Ford's  house (just south of the NMT campus) for a brunch. Please contact Ephraim or Julie for information on what you can bring to the brunch.

Mt. Taylor Quadrathlon

Even though there wasn't enough snow for the "true" quadrathlon a decent amount of people turned out in Grants, including some SSR members doing the race solo or on a team. Here are the results of the members and some local athletes. Congratulations for racing such a tough event!
