Dawid pulls in another win on his USA tour with a decisive victory in the 40km marathon along the Chicago shoreline. Conditions couldn't have been more different from the weekend before in San Francisco, but the enthusiastic vibe was the same. Tim and Kristin Flentye did an excellent job of running this race. No one would have guessed they had just had their first child the Friday before, hows that for timing? For a detailed story, DeAnne's blog has a short story.

A thrilling day of exciting racing in challenging conditions. Dawid Mocke wins the US Champs for the third time in an outstanding race to the finish with Shannon Eckstein 2nd and Jeremy Cotter 3rd. DeAnne wins for the fourth time.
More stories and pictures to come after we race next weekend in Chicago.
Congratulations to everyone who participated and to Wavechaser for putting on the most excellent weekend of racing.

We are ready, are you?
