The weather gods were smiling on the Kentucky Classic CDE today: it was a perfect day for the marathon..
A few scenes from the day:

many competitors have said they had a great time at the KY Classic; Nancy Roemer looked like she was having a good time, exiting this obstacle with a huge smile

spectators were lined all along the top of this hill, which gave them a good view of several obstacles

At the very end of the day, Koos de Ronde (a member of the gold-medal team from last year’s WEG) took the reins of a team of four horses and, with Michael Freund as his navigator and James Miller on the back step, gave a thrilling demonstration of obstacle driving. He was followed along the course, from obstacle to obstacle, by an army of people in golf carts and gators, and on bikes, and on foot. And — sometimes at Michael’s urging, but mostly on their own — the crowd cheered and whooped and hollered in appreciation.
