The event was the first of its kind in North America, and so far as anyone knows, in the world. Thus far, other countries have not...

West is done. I finished off the three days of racing with another 7th place finish. No matter what my fitness I always seem to be in the middle part of the top 10... In Saturdays 10k I went for the opposite tactics from Friday when I went out too har...
