The first races of the season always seem to have an interesting twist! This year did not disappoint. The severe storms blasting the trail Saturday all but completely undid all the hard work at the last trail day. BIG thanks to Robert for and his group of faithful volunteers for braving the weather to clean it all up in time for a GREAT day of racing.
Even after all the hard work helping to prepare the trail after the storms Mark Parmelee had a great start to his 2009 race season! Coming in a close second to Mike Anderson in the men’s elite category! He then jumped off the geared beast and fired out the winning lap time in the Men’s Single Speed Expert/Elite category!
The Orange on the podium didn’t stop there with Lisa Johnson’s off season training paying off in Sport Women 40+! Mark Ladwig and Ron Ressler returning after injury, they dominated the Sport Clydesdale category with a 3rd and 5th place finishing! Jason Acker exceeded his own expectations and taking 3rd place in sport men 19-29 (though we all knew he’d do well!) Sarah Frisbie also exceeded her expectations finishing 2nd in beginner women 30+! With time like that she will be racing sport in no time!
Congrats to all who came out and raced despite the real threat of more severe weather. Next up? BLOOMER XC MAY 17th!!!!
