Results are posted here. Photos will be added to the gallery throughout the day Monday, so stay tuned.
Our women took six of the top ten places, including NSQ in 2nd overall, followed closely by Jene, Agnes, Jeannine , Hanna, and - in her first post-baby race - Green Light. All of the above took hardware. The men's field included the return of Geoff, as well as Tom (bouncing back from Monday's crash), Michael and Jon Miles. Depsite a course PR and a top-20 finish overall, only Miles was denied hardware - and that was just because he's in the very competitive 30-34 AG.
Overall it was a great season opener on our home turf. NSQ had another podium finish, Johanna showed that she's on her way back, Jene had a great showing in her first CC race. Significant course PR's were set by a few of our athletes, and no one's complaining about all the plaques. Still, the real breakthrough performance of the day came from Agnes. This was her first top-5 finish in a multisport race, and she ran a marathon just two weeks ago.
Other friends racing included Sheriff Lindsay Eason, John Neiers, and once-and-future RATW rider Raul Martinez.
Among the adult spectators were Drew, Killer, Hillary, Steve, Deanna and Kate, and a few others who had to put up with my nervousness. The kids included Sasha and Sebastian. And don't forget our four legged friends Milton and Enzo.
