Way More than Just Cool

Hey All,
One of our gals is being humble so I'm going to do a bit of bragging for her. Julie Fingar is now the proud "owner" and race director of both Way Too Cool 50K AND American River 50 Miler. Obviously these are two of the most popular and well thought of races in the country. I just want to say a big congrats to Julie for her new "babies" and I plan to be there for her debut at both of them. Very Cool. Do you think now I can sleep in a bit instead of hitting refresh on "Way Too Cool" morning????? :)

Big Aloha,
Rod Bien

Thanks Rod for the kinds words. I'm beyond excited for my new adventures within these races and will continue the wonderful traditions that Greg brought to the events. I look forward to bringing my expertise, style and flare in race management to these two top notch events!

I hope you will join me over the years as a participant, volunteer, friend to share in the love and passion I have for the sport at these premier events.

Ha, fat chance Rodney. Early Sunday morning in Dec. like everyone else.

Congrats Julie...I'll be there for Cool next year. I've got unfinished business with 3/4 of a mile and a right hand turn. :)

Peace.
