August 21st Results (8.0 & 17.1 miles)

We marked the end of the Olympics today with a special run of our own. Rio in English means "river," and we took our traditional once-per-training-cycle trip to the Row River Trail.

Thanks to Jean for helping on the course, after running her long one there on Saturday.
