The Outlaw Solstice turned out even better than the event originally planned. Everyone spent the first half hour pre-race just trying out a ton of boards. A lot of tasty, shiny carbon fiber out on the trail yesterday!
Everyone did the 13-miler, except for superstar Nick Westberg who missed the turnaround, detoured, fixed a truck that fell apart mid-race, clocked a total of almost 20 miles -- and still managed it in 2 hours!!
Derek just ate it up, taking the front runner position after a few miles and holding it to the end.
Results:
1st - Derek Munson: 56:23
2nd - James Peters: 58:00
3rd - Eric Westberg: 1:06:18
The rest of the crew came through strong - pumping MOST of the way!
Nick Westberg: 20 miles, 2:00:08
