Boulder Mania this am!

Well temps were -5 this am at 7 but it is going towarm up as soon as the sun rises over Galena Peak. The racers are packed in the lodge and it is a bluebird day out there! Should be a great race, maybe not record setting with the cold temps but still pretty perfect conditions!

Good luck to all the racers!
