Rulers of the empire

Saturday in Windsor, CA (that's near Santa Rosa, for those that are curious) Impalas were well represented at the Empire Open XC race. It was a hilly, rocky course--good thing we all arrived early enough to preview it with Susan B-V as our guide.

Results are not up yet, but everyone raced hard...too hard maybe.
New "Master of the Empire" Angela sprained her ankle just minutes from the finish (true to form, she finished the race before asking for some pain killers and ice to put on her swollen ankle) and Karen had a bloody uphill fall (she also toughed it out!).

Thank you to Sally for the race report and picts!
