The famous fast and furious Red course was pegged for the Provincials and it turned out to be in perfect condition, a little dust suppressing rain fell the day before the race and everybody was stoked to give it their all. In the women’s field it was none other than Sheila Morris, the former Team Canada member was one it blazing the field by over a minute.
