That was pretty nasty! Don't tell anyone, but 2.1 inches of rain in two days is rigid! There were so many smiles, though; most knew it would be Epic or insanely wet! In fact, they've have had colder events or more rain, at Mudslinger 2018, but this took the cake and some souls too! 

On the Abomination course, Aris Sophocles (Evolution-Project Bike) was fastest in a time of 3h 23m 48s, and in the women's category Serena Gordon (Sunnyside Sports / SMCC) was fastest in a time of 3h 55m 31s.

On the Son of Abomination course, Andrzej Stadnik (Biciclista US) was fastest in a time of 2h 10m 39s, and in the women's category Monica Lloyd (CBC Racing / Country Green Turf Farms) was fastest in a time of 2h 29m 51s.

On the Erik the Red Long Course the day after, Broc Atkinson (Flywheel Bicycle Solutions) was fastest in a time of 2h 50m 59s, and in the women's category Serena Gordon (Sunnyside Sports / SMCC) was fastest again in a time of 3h 14m 57s.

On the Leif Erickson Short course the day after, Edward Dudlik (Dialed Cycling Team) was fastest in a time of 1h 30m 57s, and in the women's category Kylee Hanel (Dialed Cycling Team) 1h 33m 24s.

Big Congratulations to everyone who endured!
