Race Team Member, Cathi Cannon, Runs from Hot to Cold in One Month

Rock/Creek Race Team Member, Cathi Cannon from Chattanooga, TN , competed successfully in two February races, the Rock/Creek sponsored Southern6 Trail Race and the Mount Mitchell Challenge in North Carolina.
Both races presented unusual weather conditions for the season.
Warm weather, sunny skies and a pleasant breeze carried Cathi through a fun trail race at Southern6 on February 21st, with a 4th Female Overall finish in 36:12.
