Munsch Hardt Kopf & Harr shareholder Rick Kopf says he had just three goals the weekend of March 25, when he participated in a Colorado endurance event called the Elk Mountains Grand Traverse. “The first goal was to survive, the second was not to get hurt and the third was to finish,” says Kopf of Dallas. “And we accomplished the three goals.”

Rick Kopf and his twin brother, Chris Kopf, began the cross-country ski race at midnight Friday, March 25, in Crested Butte and finished 15 hours and four minutes later at a little after 3 p.m. Saturday, March 26, in Aspen.
