YETI #3 - Grouse Mountain

We've caught ourselves by surprise, sweeping the Team 10km Event at all the Yeti's so far this year!  Go Team HHVI!!

Grouse Mountain's steep and continuous climb was tough but we managed to pull off the team victory and some gain some personal glory as well.  Enjoying the view from the front of the pack & placing 2nd overall Jeff smoked the 8.9km course in just under 50 minutes!!  2 racers back Justin pulled of a great performance despite tired legs to place 3rd in their category.  Trevor & Jay crossed the line in the top 20 and rounded out the mens performances for our team.  Two podium finishes for the HHVI men! sweet!  Carey the climber smoked the assent and finished 2nd in the womens category.  Kristenn thought the climb was going to kill her, but was the next women in behind Carey to seal the deal with a 3rd place finish and a spot on the podium.  Two podium finishes for the HHVI women! sweet!  

As usual the awards party at Taylor's Crossing Pub was full of laughs and cheers and wicked prizes - Jeff came home with the Sleeman's bucket again!

Big applause goes out to fellow Yeti runners from the Rock on some awesome performances. Big thanks to Bill and his crew - because of them we always have seats at the Pub and extra laughs too.
