In an earlier report we thought that Simon Lessing had stayed home, his wife Lisa is due to give birth, but according to a report on Kjerag he raced in the Open event and won that. Apparently he had forgotten to register for a French license by the deadline and so wasn't allowed to enter the main race. His decision to race in the open, non-drafting standard distance is an interesting one - he hasn't raced in a non-drafting event for several years.

At PowerMan Austria Wayne Smith finished 22nd in 3:35:41.
