Although plagued by bad weather for the third time in four years, die-hard competitors negotiated the saturated course at the 25th Laurels CDE without incident.

And congratulations to organizer Jamie O’Rourke for overcoming all odds and producing the 25th Laurels. You can read an interesting history of the Laurels here: Laurels History
