It remained cool and foggy for the duration, making the technical course very difficult to navigate. Participants had the option of a Sprint: 3KM Run, 10KM Bike finished with a 3KM Run or the Epic:  5KM Run, 20KM Bike and 5KM Run. 43 people started the race and 30 completed, showing how hard this course was.
