close to matching No rton's overall score,
bu t fini shed up o ne point down for
third overall.
Th e decisive first section began 1.6
miles from the start, where riders were
checked into the Douglas town forest.
The trail that followed was typically
bony, technical New England woods only thi s tim e with a twist. Instead of
the usual slimy trail , the Tri-State M.e.
was blessed with dry, late-summer conditions. Ins tead of mud, there was dust making it a little harder to see but a lot
easier to get fo rwa rd tr act io n. Either
way, the r e wasn't much ti me to get
wa rmed up, but Cayer di dn' t see m to
need it, setting the fast time through the
section with a 5:09, a full 42 seconds
faster than Norton. The only other two
thou gh Landon only went as far as the
sixth check. It seems Land on lost a lot of
enthusiasm for th e ride when a qu ick
spill put her down, and the rider behind
her rode right ove r her - and she has the
tire tracks to prove it!
