Polar Hero
“I couldn't find a better way to kick off my OCR season last Sunday during the Polar Hero race in Quebec City. For me, doing an OCR in the snow is pretty much heaven! I had a blast and I'm super pumped about the upcoming Battlefrog race next weekend in Houston”.
The mens race for 2nd and 3rd was tight with less than 10 seconds separating Benjamin Morin Boucher and Sylvain Dion. On the women's side, Geneviève Tardif took 2nd for women followed by Jen Groleau in 3rd.
