This past weekend Newton’s Ian Adamson escaped the snow in Colorado to find some sun, surf and most importantly, dry trails in Los Osos, California. For those of you who don’t know, Ian is a seven-time adventure racing world champion, but he’s been retired for several years and now works full-time on Newton’s product development team and serves as our director of research and education.
Ian’s adventure racing days may be over, but apparently his quest for adventure hasn’t been quenched. Ian has committed to run in this summer’s Badwater Ultramarathon. He was in Los Oros for the Montana de Oro 50K trail run, and finished a very respectable 7th place - according to Ian, “old man should have trained for more than a month.”
Newton runner Van McCarty won the race and set a new course record. Congrats gentlemen!
Great job, Ian! Make us proud with your Newton R&D. How beautiful is the Pacific Ocean backdrop to that run?
Good luck Ian! Have a great season…
