Ultramarathon Daily News | Mon, Feb 4
Justin/IRF breaks down all the trail and ultramarathon results from this weekend. A few things that stand out:
- Magda’s win at 9 Dragons. Never a good idea to bet against her if she’s on the start line.
- Laney at Rocky Raccoon. Nice to see him back on the podium.
- Frozen Yeti sounds intense…and cold!
- Tarawera next weekend…check out that lineup!
