If you smile and agree I will understandDiscovery XC in Eldoret is arguably one of the most competitive XC races anywhere in the World and it went down on Sunday. Larry, Declan (Irish Physio), Fran (Spanish 3:38 guy), Rogers (local Kenyan) and I made the trip from Iten to watch the race. We left HATC at 9:00am to make sure we would catch the Junior races before the men’s senior race which was slated for 11:00. We piled into a Matatu for the 30km ride which would cost us 100 Kenyan Shillings ($1.25 Canadian). A matatu is an 11 passenger van (12 including the driver) which acts somewhere between a taxi and a public bus. When we got into the matatu we increased the number of passengers to 15. We then picked up more passengers on the way to peak at a nice 21, but to be fair there was one little kid on her mom’s lap.
