Dundas Valley World Cup: 20th Anniversary

Another Great Run By Patrick

Mid-week Estonia Update

Wadd, Mike Wadd. Mike (#007?) as he finishes 10th in the Middle Distance B final.

Mike has enjoyed several successful races in Estonia so far. He has run the Sprint Qualificatin, Middle Quali and Middle Final over the last 3 days and today takes a rest day before long distance races and the relay.

Mike narrowly missed the A final in the Middle distance by 1:30 and a mere 0:36 in the Sprint. He ran well in the B final for a very respectable 10th place finish. Good luck in the rest of the week Mike!

US Long and Short Champs

It was another weekend in the US for GHOers Hans Fransson, Mark Adams, and Patrick Goeres. This weekend we ran in the US Short and Long Championship races near Albany, NY. The results were maybe not quite as successful as we hoped, but as always excellent training and a great chance to visit with friends from around the continent.
