Cougar Mountain, next stop Atop Mt. Washington with my SCOTT Teammates

I'm currently in New Hampshire preparing for my 5th time running the ascent up Mt. Washington which features 7.6 miles of one nasty long climb. I have placed in the top 4 numerous times never having won the event. I have the famous Mt. Washington bowls for every podium position except for the CHAMPION so I look forward to attempting to attain one this weekend. Below is a recent article following my last race and news of the upcoming event which will feature two SCOTT athletes here in New Hampshire. Be on the lookout!

On Saturday, June 8th, Sage Canaday took to the trails of Ithaca, NY to participate in the Cayuga Trail 50 Miler.  After a grueling course that includes over 10,000 feet of climbing and descent, Sage crossed the finish line in 6 hours, 47 minutes, 48 seconds, securing the top spot on the podium.  More than 5 minutes ahead of the 2nd place finisher, Canaday and his favorite T2 Kinabalus took the lead early and never let up.  Earning the cash purse and another win in what has already been an in impressive season, Sage heads to New Hampshire June 15th to compete alongside fellow SCOTT athlete Joseph Gray in the Mount Washington Road Race.

Across the country, just outside of Seattle, WA, Joseph Gray had another impressive day on the race course.  Participating in the second part of the Cougar Mountain Trails Series, Joseph turned in another course record.  Switching to the light and fast Race Rocker, Joseph set a grueling pace of 5:58/M, finishing the 8 mile race in a stunning 48:57:2.  Next up, Joseph takes his fast pace to the roads of Mount Washington in New Hampshire June 15th.

Featured in the June 2013 review for spring trail running shoes, the SCOTT T2 Kinabalu received a glowing review.  Competing against high-profile names such as Salomon, Altra, and Brooks, the T2 Kinabalu stood out for its ability to withstand high mileage and provide good protection with a lightweight package.
