Nate's Take With Nate Rossetti

Disaster strikes in Shelburne! Forced to make a difficult decision, I decide to not give up and run the race despite significant injury both from a change in technique and injury during pre-race warm-up. I take you through my thoughts, my struggle, and the feeling of success in what I considered my "bloody sock game." 

The first race in 24 years is described in this new take! Recovering from a right IT band injury and dealing with ailing lower back pain, I describe what it was like to take on Montpelier. I relive what that back pain was, how I dealt with it, the crippling affect of the race, its aftermath, and the declaration feeling of "I'm back!"

Folk, 1-3 this season, missed a crucial field goal which if he had gotten, would've set the Patriots up with a chip shot at the end and a Cam Newton game winning drive.
