You can definitely leave the veggies in the pot for the full amount of time to cook the roast!. They will get tender, but they also help flavor the roast, and some of their natural juices come out!. You should also use onions, garlic, and celery if you have it!. If you don't like to eat it, that is ok, but it helps flavor the roast!.
also, if you have the time, I would marinade the roast for a few hours before you put it in the crock pot!. Marinade it with olive oil and any of your favorite seasonings, like garlic powder, lemon pepper, italian seasonings, salt, etc!. You could place it in a big zip lock baggie, or in a plastic tupperware, just make sure you turn it over and keep the marinade all over it! Yummy! Am I invited to dinner!? What time!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

It will probably only take it 4-5 hours to cook, being so small!.
