WOC Sprint Relay

It was an exciting day in Nairn! For the sprint relay, each team has 4 runners (2 male and 2 female). The map was a combination of tricky sand dunes, lots of parallel streets, some added fences, and important route choice legs.

Team Canada improved upon their 26th placing last year to come in 22nd! There was a particularly exciting finish with Tori Owen outsprinting the German team by one second. Full results can be found here and here.
