My nickname for Jason has always been “the Animal” and here’s why.  450 Teams raced from Cannon Mt. to Hampton beach this weekend during the annual “Reach the Beach” relay race.  The 208 mile race was done non-stop with teams of 12 runners sharing the workload.  Jason’s team of 6 men and 6 women finished in 29.5 hours averaging 8:30 min/miles.  Jason ran 2 miles feeling good until he restrained his right calve muscle.  Did he stop?  Nope, he ran 8 min miles for another 21 miles helping his team with an average age of 45 finish in 229th place!  Jason has always been a believer in the philosophy of learning to get comfortable with being UN-comfortable.  Congrats J!
