dAfter a few weeks out from racing Les Templiers - Grand Trail 75k Jared threw his hat in the ring for the JFK50 Miler. He was on a team with his two best friends, Fred Joslyn and Chris Raulli, for Fleet Feet Mechanicsburg. This was Chris's ultra debut. The first 15.4 miles were through the Appalachian Trail and the rest were on a canal path. Jared and Chris were of the top 5 to exit off the trail first. Both in good spirits they grabbed their supplies from us and ran off. Mile 26 they passed us again. Jared still in 3rd and Chris in 6th place. We weren't sure where Fred was, we always seemed to have miss him go by. 2 miles down the road I saw Jared having a tough time. He wasn't recovered from France and he decided it was best to call it a day. He hopped in the car, gave his notice that he was done, and we drove to cheer on Chris and Fred. Chris was still holding strong in his 6th place spot as we raced from aid station to aid station to see him. Soon we were cheering him across the finish line. Surprisingly, only a few minutes later we heard Fred being announced. Fred took his time through the trails, putting him in 37th place coming off the trail. He passed 29 people to come in in 8th place! Only Fred could pull that off. It was a great day for Chris and Fred. Couldn't be happier for the team.
