NorAms are done! Today's race finished off a weekend of excitement, thrilling competition and even a touch of controversy. The organizers put on a spectacle with great courses through rocket-ship terrain, a buzzing arena and top notch competition.
I had a slow start to the weekend, but it improved day by day as I ran to a silver in the Long Distance yesterday and earned my gold in the Sprint Distance today. The competition was tight everyday and I was proud to race against such a good field of athletes.
The American Team won the Bjorn Kjellstrom Cup for the 2nd time in 16 years, so we are hungry for a victory on the road in two years!
After the regular courses finished up, the elite 'red group' race began and I heard nothing but praise and excitement from anyone who stayed to watch. It was great fun to have everyone gathered and cheering for each race and the supportive atmosphere was hugely motivating. Thanks to everyone who came out to cheer us on - we appreciate your support and look forward to putting on a show in Norway!
Pulling myself together for a good end to the weekend and running to a narrowly won gold. Good push in the finish thanks to the dude in the toque. ;) Just like Tuesday night.
