Race Results

Well - given the weather that was a pretty good turnout. Due to the access road being really slippy (the trucks couldn't get up it unless they had enough weight over the back axle), we had to cut the practice short and run only a single race run. In addition, we ended up running 30 second intervals rather than the normal 1 minute because the wind was fairly howling at the top and hypothermia was a distinct possibility.

The track seemed to hold up pretty well - it definitely dried out further down as we had more people come down. The feedback on the course was pretty good too, so we might see a few more events held here in the future.

Thanks to all the racers that turned out, the volunteers that helped out, and the Watson family for providing access.

Tar,
