spiked:19/19c
Golden Leaf O-Cross...Well its also known as a Farsta or Motola. Mass start and it just started to rain a bit at the start. Because of this I seen to pace harder than yesterday. 1st control is always crazy but I let the crowd go and focused on my control. Well a lot of folks had it and it was a hill. I saw a lot of my comp take off and be waqy ahead of me. 2-3 I was a bit messed up bu all the trail junctions and just used my compass to get me straight and it worked. After that it was staright forward and lots of trails to use. 4 controls were used on the first map that I had on the 2nd map. The 3rd map used the sprint map to get back to the finish. When I got in I was handed a new pair of socks (prize) and looked arounf for all my comp who beat me. Where is Chris S, Jeff Sager and that fast Canadian guys who beat me yesterday??? Surprise...they came in after me. Yea finally a victory. Expresso and I were off to the US for the Goat Island event in Niagara Falls NY.We got a hotel that was supposed to have a whirlpool. When I informed Expresso that it was cold and hotel would give us back 10% he went to work and they upgraded us to a Suite with a Jaccuzi. We than went to the casino a block away and gorged on some great food. Later a short hike to view the falls.
Awesome time with friends at the O in Ontario this Thanksgiving weekend!!!
