Bob
Dion is well known in running circles as a strong competitor and a
dedicated race director. In July's Trailrunner Magazine,
Bob offered tips on training for the down hills. While the Wakely
course doesn't look that tough on paper, it's packed with a lot of
technical downhill sections and some long smooth down hill stretches
that offer challenges all their own. It's obvious that Bob was
well trained for this challenge. But something got to Bob late in
the race - forcing him to a heartbreaking walk across the dam and
pushing a win just outside his reach. Notwithstanding Bob's late
race difficulty, his time is nothing to sneeze at as it was still good
enough to take 3rd place.
