UPDATE - Woody Completes the Arrowhead 135

Fri, 03 Feb 2012 07:36:20 -0500

UPDATE: Woody completed the Arrowhead 135 in 37 hours 44 min. Just completing this race is an accomplishment. According to Woody he hit the wall at bout 3:00 am on the first day of the race after a brief rest at the first checkpoint. Woody said said he had his nutrition, hydration and clothing dialed in. He forged on despite warming temperatures which made the trail very soft and hard to ride.

Woody enjoys these type of endurance events where you need to push yourself beyond what you think your capable of. This drives his wife Kristi crazy.

Congrats Woody, on a huge accomplishment. We at Cannondale Midwest are proud of you and glad you are part of the CMR Family.
