TransRockies Stage Four: Regroup

Stage Four of the 6-day GORE-TEX TransRockies Run is a favorite of return participants for several reasons: the RUN3 participants have departed, dwindling the camp down to 100 teams (200 people), the route is comparatively short, covering 14.2 miles, and features a long, steep incline followed by a long, fast, and technical descent (Europeans found this terrain especially familiar). Runners endure 2800ft of climbing, but are rewarded at the finish with fish tacos and margaritas in the tiny town of Red Cliff, Colorado.

The Men's Open category was once again dominated by Team Flagstaff's Mike Smith and Rob Krar, who tore up the course in 1h43m. Team Colorado's Justin Ricks and Jim Rebenack took second, ten minutes behind in 1h53m. Team RunReg.com finally hit the podium for third in 1h57m.



The Women's Open podium once again held two La Sportiva teams: Pam Smith and Jenny Capel took first in 2h27m; Nicola Gildersleev and Shauna Connaughton took second in 2h47m. Team GoGo Girls' Robyn Kaplan and Cynthia Hartford took third in 2h49m. La Sportiva is the official shoe sponsor of this year's race.

The Open Mixed category was aced once again by Team North Face Bendites' Zach Violett and Stephanie Howe in a fast 2h7m. Team Inov-8's Amy Ruseki and Dave James took second in 2h18m, and Team Sam's Amy Schneeberg and Geoff Reid rounded out third In 2h22m.

Team EverymanTRI (unclassified) finished the stage in 2h44m.

  1. Ensure success of your business in its earliest stages by working to keep overhead costs as low as possible, especially if you are working with limited funds. Look for ways to minimize costs up front; one easy way to do this is to focus more on the tools needed to get the job done rather than splurging on expensive new office furniture and fancy desktop gadgets.
