Here are the results in the men’s category:

1. Rad Ross Schnell

2. Chi Chi Rodriguez

In the women’s category, there was some fantastic SS battle action, with reports of at least six knock-em-out drag-em-down catfights on the course. The meanest lady of all, Heather Irmiger, crossed the finish line with blood under her fingernails and a string of freshly assembled teeth around her neck.

Official SSWC09 Women’s Results:

1. Heather Irmiger

2. Harriet Tubman (not the fastest girl, but she had some serious secret shortcuts assembled).

3. Jacquie Phelan

Oh Canada…

For those of you looking for race updates, I have nothing for you. There are at least 2900 people somewhere out in the gulch running amok!

Last night the party was delayed by rain. The organizers put tarps over the stage and got the show rolling in full SSWC09 style.

In SSWC10 news, Italy and New Zealand pulled a major upset over local favorite Canada. Budapest withdrew consideration after the rest of Hungary expressed a major disinterest in helping him. The Basketball game shall be the great decider…

Italy vs New Zealand

Holy cow. Tomorrow it’s on, if you have mad basketball skills and want 2010 worlds to go to NZ or IT, let them know by 530 after the race tomorrow. Issac and John have moved on and need to get a team of racers to win the big game. This is for real as two 20 minute halfs of cutthroat basketball will determine the host for 2010.

so rad
