Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Here is our final interview covering the 14th Annual Green Race, some two weeks late, with Adriene Levknecht. Apologies for taking so long we were slammed getting LVM #32 “Glory Seeking $#@! Runner” shipping, and our holiday specials on the store. DETAILS HERE. Adriene was the female champ in the 2009 Green River Race and in the process of getting first place she shattered records on the course. The first female to go under five minutes (4:59) in the 14 year history of the Green Race, this little lady is a pleasure to watch both on and off the river! Enjoy.
Astral has supported the Green Race for a long time and this year donated a lifejacket to be awarded to the best green race swim. Mike “Mexico” Metzger took the gold. We’re glad you’re ok Mexico!
