The BEAST

Chase fell asleep to reading Donotreply.com.


ATTEMPTING the BEAST.  St. Croix's most notorious biking climb.  It is a 0.7 mile stretch of highway that features a 600 foot clim with an average grade of 14 percent and a maximum grade of 18 percent.  The Beast is part of the St. Croix Ironman event that is a qualifier for Kona Ironman.  

Running up the BEAST while Troy followed us in the truck for safety.  
Justin, Lauren and Jodel take 1.  Started with a run then ended with a walk.

Justin take 2 with Troy ran most of the way.

We made it!

Hurray!!!  Prego conquered the BEAST in a dress and swimsuit!

Lauren's 1st run in a long time.  Way to start it with the BEAST!  


Justin's take 3....time to sprint!  CRAZY!  He did drink a Monster.

Can he make it?
