Scrolling through Twitter last weekend I saw a tweet from weeks ago featuring Colton Gale winning a race:

Awesome! Didn’t know he did that. Then I thought ‘wait, didn’t he have another big win recently?’ While looking for that I came across this:

Another week, another incredible feeling. Victory on Bunker Hill! …the road race. Also a new 5k personal best! ?: @racewirelive #shortshorts #tanline #manthigh #bunkerhill #racing #roadrace #5k #running #victory #adidasrunning #firstoverall #firstplace #winner

Yeah, so he also won the Battle of Bunker Hill Road Race on June 12th (16:25 for 5k). Having lived in Charlestown for a few years myself, I know how much they like their road race. It was always fun hearing the guys in the barbershop talk about how dominate that “Schmekpeeper guy” was (Ben Schmeckpeper, a BAA guy who won it several times before moving to Chicago).

And then, of course, was the big one that made go back and look through all the results: Traprock…

Got my first trail ultra win at the Traprock 50k!! A near-prefect day to test the fitness. I ran a smart race on this gnarly course, tested some nutrition tricks with @honeystinger all race, and tried to stay consistent. Led off the front from start to finish and am incredibly pleased with the result! ?: @ameflame #stingorbeestung #hshive #hshive2016 #trailrunning #traprock50k #traprock50 #running #medal #racemedal #trophy #firstplace #firstoverall #winnerwinnerchickendinner #expandyourplayground #ultrarunner #ultra #ultramarathon

Colton ran 4:15:01 for 50k FTW. Colton has been on a roll lately and we were due to give him some time in the spotlight for it. Keep it up Colton!
