The best way to end your road season. 40k hill climb with 700 participants over two start times (recreational and competitive). Our very own Chris Squires showed some late season climbing form to post a 15th OVERALL. Awesome (especially for such an old man).
And big props to the crew that came down for the Cross 542 Race. Hayley won her women's race, Meat was second in his C group race and Morgan had one of the craziest closing sprints I have ever seen to finish second in the B's. The only low point of the weekend was the American beer.
Our own Jay Loder made a visit to the podium in Edmonton finishing in third place in the Masters C Men proving that beer and T3's are the best of training partners. In the Elite Men, Nick Berry rep'd the Mighty colours well with a 12th place. In the additional day of racing, Jay followed up his podium with a hungover 4th place, Nick was 18th and Matt Barber was 14th in the Masters A Race. No word on whether Barber left the contents of the previous nights drinking and debauchery on his top tube like he did last week... I believe we all need a Crown and Coke to celebrate a good Edmonton Nationals weekend Alberta style. Sounds like we need a team meeting.
