Perhaps she’d had a bit too much of the Dale’s Pale Ale when she picked 11 focus races!  I’m not sure that Malia and Marina knew what they were in for when they volunteers to select a new uniform vendor and new team kit, but they did a great job!    Race Directors Tim Richmond of Max Performance and race and Mark Walter of Sun Multisport gave us insight into what it takes to be a race direct and run races in New England.
