An Auspicious Beginning
Morgan Smyth
Morgan Smyth won the 5k qualifying race today! So for at least a couple hours we were at a 100% victory rate. Then the men raced their qualifier and our winning streak ended (no US men were entered). Still, it's a good way to kick off the week.
*note: the qualifying 5/10k classic race was for people without good enough points to race (sub 90 men, sub 120 women) and they will let the top ten finishers in the qualifying race compete in the 10/15k classic.
Also, everyone made it through doping control, which was expected but still it's good. Also good to know that every athlete is getting a blood test done here.
It's been snowing every day so far.
The scene has been very positive and friendly.
It's lookin' to be a good World Champs!
