Overcoming Obstacles and Racing to the Finish
This graphic depiction of an epic race between Dale Hoyt and Chris Betsinger, for second and third place, tells the tale perfectly. Overcoming obstacles, the two battled all the way to the finish line where the winners came in one second apart. The ultimate finish!
