Just back from the WIC race, I finished 2nd in the sprint. It was dry for the ladies race although it threatened to rain nearly the whole race. Cecilia won and Nathalie 3rd. There weren't a lot of top skaters so it was very slow and there wasn't a lot of action. They really need some sort of incentive to liven up the women's racing, the only team here wanted a sprint finish and there was a lack of strong skaters willing to have a go so the race was dead.
About 5 minutes after the ladies race finished it started to rain. So the men's race was fully wet the whole way. A break away formed about half way through the race with Severin, Thomas and Yann. Severin and Thomas were working the break and then with about 4 or 5 laps to go Yann broke away from them and won, Severin 2nd and Thomas 3rd.
