Update:
Kirk McDowall had to drop in unexpectedly last after a mishap on his first run.
“It got quite windy right before we started going, and one of the aluminum banners fell onto the first corner on the course,” said McDowall. “I couldn’t see it until it was too late. Thankfully I didn’t crash, but the bike took a hit and really bent the front brake rotor really badly. Someone was able to bring one up for me and we swapped it out at the top. That was a new experience for me, but it turned out OK.”
McDowall fixed his bike and did a re-run, finishing his day with a 4:33.52, earning him the final podium spot.
“I feel like my brain has been going a hundred miles a minute. Of course during the run it always is but now this time the 10 minutes leading up to my run as well I was just stressing. It feels like kind of a relief to just be down here now. It’s nice to be in third for sure. I had a good run.”

Jesse Jesse Melamed,

You are very fast

You are nice and fast my lad.
