Race Recap for Nation Birthday Weekend

Several of our team members were hitting the asphalt (in Nicole's case a softer surface at Carderock) over the holiday weekend. It was a banner day on Thursday, July 4th as the MCRRC's men and women earned spots on the podium and several age group awards at the Autism Speaks 5-k in Potomac. Paul Jacobson was the first team member to don new team racing apparel! He is way ahead of the fashion curve in his MCRRC singlet.
