What a wonderful season out at Kincaid!
Some quick facts:
- 214 people participated in this year's XC series (!!!)
- our largest category, Sport Men, had 53 participants
- first year offering a shortened course - we had 27 short coursers!
- courses had more single track than ever - thanks to the sweet STA trails!!!
- every single Tuesday night race was sunny and beautiful! (how is that even possible?)
- more junior (under 18) racers than ever - 37 male and female juniors
- 38 beginner racers! that's more than we've ever had, and remember, our beginners eventually (or occasionally) turn into our experts, so we need to keep them around!
- we had another amazing group of volunteers - people that dedicate lots of time and sweat and occasional blood to get the courses cleared, marked, and cleaned, along with the people that help with registration and timing
- John Lackey, Tim Berntson, Jeff Ellis, Kara Oney, Alex Wilson, Chet Fehrmann, Carey Grumelot, Margaret Cunningham: our rockstar course team
- Emily Henderson, Alycia Beiergrohslein, Sara Rottman, Martha Piersma, Chet Fehrmann: the group of patient people that got you registered for each race & time the race
- all the other people that have volunteered some time here and there - there are many of you! Please know that I appreciate the help of each and every one of you.We honestly couldn't do it without ALL of you!
