Congrats to Marist Running Alum Louis Caporale for completing his first ultra marathon run on Saturday in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Louis placed third overall (thus the hardware) in the Free To Run 50-mile trail race, on terrain he called the toughest he has ever witnessed. How tough was it? Well, there were only five finishers in the 50-miler, and 12 DNFs. Lou said he was in second place until the later stages of the race, when he was passed by the eventual runner-up. Lou completed the race in 11:29:16. The event was the third in the BURCS Bad Ass Ultra Series, put on my our friends at Berkshire Ultra Runners for Community Service (alert team members will note the BURCS bumper stickers on my car). Congrats, Louis!
