Summerclash 2008: Sebastian Hofer Photos
2008-06-30 19:51 durrenbe@yahoo.com (David Durrenberger)
Sebastian Hofer sent me some nice photos of the Summerclash 2008. I posted them on Flickr here.
I am currently in Harriston at the Roller Sports Canada Canadian Championships. The only races left are the relays- there’s currently a rain delay. The marathon will take place tomorrow in Cambridge.
A few records were set today including in the Freshmen girls category. Candy Wong bested her 500-meter time by 6 seconds!
Many nice pictures and complete results will be posted and shared later- maybe this evening.
SSW will be back in ‘regular’ non-competition mode later this evening or tomorrow after the marathon- It really depends on how much time we spend eating lunch after the racing is done. We’re going to eat at the Mongolian Grill and maybe go to the movies.
I’ll try to remember to share stories about the angry dog and the wild turkey.
