In Part I of this week’s roundup we highlighted results from events in other parts of the country, but here in Part II we turn to the Northeast. The Bay State events will have their own separate recaps, but we cover the additional three – Catamount in Vermont, Last Human Standing in Rhode Island, and 6 at the Springs in Maine – but we begin with the gnarly Manitou’s Revenge 53-miler in nearby New York where two Massachusetts women earned places on the podium while the Bay State’s Daniel Grip raced to another victory on the grueling course.
