I saw that too and did notice an "orange" shirt or two but didn't see the fronts of them so wasn't sure if the were RM members! I did look for people to recognize though!

All what they said!! :lol: :lol:

Isn't great to give it all and find out you actually "had" it in you? Bottle that feeling and use it at the next race.

Way to go Lesley. I told you it was a fast course. It's nice to see 10 years of training pay off.
