The leaves are turning and the nights are cooling off.  For the BCS Vikings there are just two races to go before the Tri-District Championships at American Lake south of Tacoma on Halloween.  Racing conditions were great at the SAASy Strut this year at Lower Woodland Park.  Your photographer is always reminded that his favorite Coach Sloan photo was taken in the rain at this park at the 2007 league championships.  The course proved a challenge to all this year, with its rolling hills, long climbs, and quick descents.   Next up, our return to Marysville on the 15th.
