Cam wins 14.6-mile Frozen Trail Run Fest

Great photo Michael Lebowitz - thank you!

On the perfect December day to run in the mountains, mid-30's, rain, fog and mud, amid some tough competition I finished 1st place overall in 14.6-mile Frozen Trail Run Fest on Saturday.

I covered the quad-busting mountain course in 2 hours 10 seconds and loved the test of every measured stride as I had to battle the previous year’s winner, Rob Hendrickson, and a talented 27-year old runner, Luke Vaughn, pretty much the entire race. Great guys. It was fun to share the trail with them and we really pushed it....an awesome workout to be sure.

In addition, my weight lifting partner and trainer, Nick Hammond, and fellow bowhunter, Joe Santiago, ran their first ever race...a difficult 8-mile loop on muddy trails around the mountain.

In truth, what I did doesn't at all compare to how cool it was to see Nick and Joe out there for the first time. To see guys pushing out of their comfort zone and living new, exciting experiences in the name of bowhunting is very rewarding to me. I was very motivated to give my best because of THEM.

Train hard. Hunt easy. Cam
