Last weekend, George Ott and Emma Rakestraw made their 50-mile race debut at the U.S. National Whitewater Center WC-50 Ultra Trail Marathon.  Taking on a grueling, three-lap single-track course with a 27 percent dropout rate (only 3 competitors went under 11 hours), George and Emma survived and finished in around 13 hours 18 minutes.  That finish was good enough for Emma to grab 2nd place (her 2nd straight 2nd place finish in her two ultras).

Congrats to both!
