Jacobson Finishes TransIowa!


Let's start of by saying TransIowa is a tough race. It is so tough that in some years, no one can finish it.
In the early days, it actually ran from west to east on a 300+ mile all gravel route. That proved to be a logistical nightmare, and now the race runs in a big-ass 300+ mile loop!

This was the fifth running of TransIowa. Paul Jacobson has been there for four of them. This was to be his first TransIowa finish.

Don't get me wrong. Like I said, this is a tough race. 340 miles in 30 hours is brutal. Have you done it lately?

Congratulations Paul. You made the MOB proud!
