Hood to Coast Profile #2 - Rassele!

No team would be complete without that guy. You know the one. Keeps everyone light. Cracks a few well timed jokes to break the tension. Might not be the most talented on the team, but can be counted on to perform well and not do anything to take away from the team. Is happy to just be there, but also capable of a few moments of glory when it counts. Clutch.
I am sure Raselle can agree that it would be nice to have a guy like that on the team.
Seriously, though Rassele can go, to borrow a caddy phrase and apply it to running. Like yours truly, he’s been a big user of the Bobby Pentagonz spreadhseet for training, though his numbers are usually about 50% lower than mine. Show-off. During Week Two of training, Rassele was running three miles in nine minutes per mile. This past week, Rasselle did that same mileage in 23:49. The last time I went that fast in an athletic event I was riding in a golf cart.
There’s little doubt that he’s ready.
