Another weekend, another win

Lisa Randall, Neal Radford, and Bill Fletcher (of Snickers Marathon fame) took another overall win at this past weekend's Save-The-World Adventure Race in South Carolina. They managed to find 42 of the 46 total checkpoints on the "modified-rogaine" course format... and did so with nearly 2 hours left to play with. As was the case with the team's 2 previous wins at STW in '05 & '06, route selection and execution with nav were keys to defending their title. The victory serves as the team's 5th straight, and 6th of the year.

Prior to the start of the STW race, Lisa participated in her first Xterra event (Fort Yargo) and earned a podium position among the women's overall. Despite a bruising & eye-opening start in the washing machine-esque opening swim leg, she mounted an impressive campaign with top bike and run splits to close the gap and nearly win her age group. Enjoy the victory while you can, ladies, because Lisa's coming.
