one of rons runs:

one of my runs:

(yes, the rieger, hauling ass around cones)
to put things in perspective, rons rocco ran a hair under 52 secs, while the rieger ran ~54 secs,
and the rieger probably has 300 pounds extra as compared to victor (rons rocco). i think it fared
pretty well out there.
enjoy!
Al
