2013 Wellington XC Champ Races Waikanae Sat 20 Jul

 

This year there were two options at the top of the big hill. You could either go through the open gate or jump the adjacent fence.  Shown above are pics of the four out of five individuals who chose to jump the fence and if I might say with some style. Provisional results

With no shoes it is important to make sure that you get recorded.

 

 

Losing a shoe - every competitors nightmare.

The photos below are from the 2006 XC event and show that jumping the fence at the top of the hill has been part of the race in other years.
