The spring season opened with a great sprint event at John Abbott College, using the same map that was used for the Quebec Championships in 2016.
Despite the weather forecast (freezing rain), we recorded 107 participants with 91 starts, including many students from JAC.
A highlight was the chase start on the advanced course. Vincent Vionnet, who was second after the first race, caught up on the second race and eventually led the field of 11 men with a total winning time of 41:14… Francis Falardeau came overall 2nd with 41:46, and overall 3rd was Michael Chown (47:31). Orvokki Mattia was the only woman participating at the chase start with an overall winning time of 58:42.

A big Thank You goes to our volunteers for setting up another great event… Philippe, Dmitri, Elena, Bruce, Elaine, Scott, Martin, and Anatoly. Our thanks also go to John Abbott College for allowing us to use the indoor facilities, which we appreciated very much on that wet and chilly April day.
