World Marathon Championships, Ornans, France, 2012

Yesterday was the World XCM championships. It was raining (a lot) and the course was exceptionally challenging and dangerous...I survived (just) and finished 5th. I'd have liked to do better, but 5th is not so bad :) I'll write more soon, but now we're relaxing in the south of France. It's the famous Roc D'Azur bike festival this weekend and on Friday I will race the Roc 83 marathon, hopefully in the sunshine! 

Results:

1st Annika Langvad (Den)
2nd Gunn Rita (Nor)
3rd Esther Suss (SUI)
4th Irina Kalentieva (RUS)
5th Sally Bigham (GBR)

Before: clean and dry

After: wet and very, very muddy!
