4:41 a.m. PDT: High winds delay racing again by another 10 minutes
The wind is still very strong at the top of the course. The decision was made to further delay the resumption of racing to ensure the safety of the runners.

If only there were live streams for starters, because Henri Kiefer started a great career.

5:24 a.m. PDT: Bodycon wins 2nd place!
What an amazing performance from Bodhi Kuhn as he managed to beat the conditions and cross the line after just 2.447 seconds to finish second against the drought runners. We’ve said this many times before, but what a missed opportunity for some wild and talented riders to appear on the live stream that seems to be over before we get to see all the riders.
