Hornby Island Super D and Overall XC

This past weekend I raced the Hornby Island Super D, but unfortunately not the cross country due to a injured knee and cold. I got second overall in the Vancouver Island Cup Intermediate Men XC, which is pretty good considering that the points from the best six out of nine races are added up, and I was only able to make it to four. The Super D went really well as it was my first race of that kind. I placed third by less than four seconds in Intermediate Men and learned a lot! The course consisted of classic Hornby smoothness with a stretch of grass field at the end making for a fast enjoyable run.
