Short interview with Mike W:
"It felt OK and I had a good run in the beginning of the race. A bit into the course I started to feel my knee and also felt that I wasn't running fast enough. Some mistakes on the second half of the course - maybe 3 min´s total. This will not be enough - my hopes were to do 30-35, but even without mistakes I wouldn´t have qualified today."

Yup that was the Duke - running his 10th WOC. He told me in the winter his goal was to run 10 WOCs (5 for Canada and 5 for Romania) but he was sick during the selection races and ended up as one of our reserves - so he got permission to run for Romania instead (6 Romania, 4 Canada).
