Almost 50 teams turn out for Frosty Moss
Despite being postponed for six weeks, the Frosty Moss Relay Race managed to remain pretty frosty.
Running in a rare April cold snap Saturday with temperatures in the 30s and 40s, Peninsula Adventure Sports’ Frosty Moss, its first event of the year, saw 48 teams and four individuals running the full 80-mile race, the 30-mile Mini Moss and the 50k individual race.
The race is normally run in February, but was delayed a few weeks because a February snowstorm would have made travel hazardous for the competitors and their support teams.
The winning Frosty Moss two- to three-person team was Root Trip in a time of 11 hours, 11 minutes and 26 seconds. Taking first place as a four- to five-person team was Limax Trax in a time of 10:01:05. The winner of the Mini Moss was Suitcase Courage Watermelon Wanderers in a time of 3:32:33. The top 50k solo male was Patrick Morse, who finished in 4:10:12, and the top 50k female was Stacia Givens with a time of 5:06:17.
Other awards include the mediocrity award handed to ME-OW for finishing in the middle of the pack with a time of 12:13:09 and the Last Slug Standing award went to A Team Has No Name. The Best Exchange Zone award went to FM Exchange 4 “Man Cave.”
