Hammer:
Team 'Foreigners' (that includes Nick Duca and Igor Palagnyuk) won yet another Salomon Dontgetlost.ca Raid the Hammer earlier today. This year's race was the toughest yet with 30km of rock, mud and some serious climb and nav. Over 100 teams of three raced in this year's race.

The next race in the Salomon Dontgetlost.ca Adventure Running Series is the Snowshoe Raid (February 19, 2011 in Barrie Ontario).

Congrats! :)
Results are results, but "includes"? Why not just name all of the members... it was a team of 3 foreigners :)

Late last night when I posted I didn't know the name of the third person on the Foreigner who replaced you Serge.

The three members of the winning team are Nick Duca, Igor Palagnyuk and Nickolay Ryabkov.

Sounds good!
The whole course together looks pretty challenging - I know I missed out on some fun; but it's never too late ;)
Congrats on another great event Mike.

Nice job, Nick!

So Nick has won the most Salomon Dontgetlost.ca Adventure Runs but hasn't won a NavStock Raid (and never will) and hasn't won a Snowshoe Raid either. Is that right?

Bash:
He won coed in the Snowshoe Raid.
Nov 16, 2010 7:51 PM # 
Hammer:
Yes he did. OK so our volunteer work is subsidizing Nick's Salomon shoe collection.

Bash:
At the Giant's Rib Raid, he wore a different brand of shoe on each foot. One was Salomon!

Nick:
and wore Salomon at all snowshoe raids ( on top of the snowshoe )..maybe i can wear both in the same event ( if Salomon decide to make snowshoes too)

Nick:
Hammer is right, never won a Navstock OVERALL.. we ( me and Wil Smith ) won the male division 2 years ago-- 10 points and one hour to spare according to this http://www.attackpoint.org/viewlog.jsp/user_1810/p...

but i think was more important at the time for me and Wil to do well at worlds champs ( few weeks later ). sometime priorities are to be taken in account
