Last column I wrote about the many different ways to stay fit this winter, including four events that were happening beginning with Friday Night Lights and finishing with Winter Wild at Black Mountain on Sunday. Little did I know some people were trying to do all four events.
At Friday Night Lights on Jan. 25, there were 36 racers, not sure how many in the touring group and Center Conway’sPaul Bazanchuk did two laps and finished in 59:20.
