This dad's a trail maven
Congrats to Joe Gorberg, father of Marist Running Alum Bryn Gorberg, for his fantastic finish at the Escarpment Trail Run, a gnarly 30-kilometer race that covers some of the most challenging terrain in the Northeast. Joe placed 75th out of nearly 300 entrants in 4:15:01. More importantly! He was smiling at the finish and had no broken bones, although Bryn said he did take several falls during the race (very common). Bryn reported via text that he had "about 5 complete falls, 10 saves and rolled his ankle a couple of times" along with a "gnarly cut" to prove he was a finisher. Sounds about right. My morning jogging buddies also completed the race, and have had plenty of stories to tell about it. Schneider ("the mayor") said "never again" about 20 times during our 7-mile run this morning. Unlike after his first marathon? I think he really means it after his 6-hour ordeal in the woods. But, like Mr. Gorberg, he lived to talk about it. Nicely done.
