Coconut Cup #8 –Quiet Waters Park – Deerfield Beach, Fl

A fine way to wrap up the 22-23 Coconut Cup series, the weather was awesome the trail was challenging and the racing was close. The Quiet Waters trail has been through a lot, including a hurricane that leveled all or most of the trees, and then a pipeline construction project that ripped up the newly rebuilt trail system and now it is under threat again with a highway project but each time it seems to come back.  I cannot thank the Quiet Waters Trail Builders enough for their efforts, they keep getting these big challenges and they keep rising to the occasion. Also many thanks to the volunteers that helped with marshaling the event.

The current course the club had available was just at 5.5 miles so the lap counts were upped to adjust for the relatively short course but keep in mind they are working on an additional 2 miles that should be opened soon.

Victor Alber and Jennifer Moos rose to the top of the day’s results with wins in the men’s expert and women’s expert respectively. Since this was the series final race the overall awards were held also later that afternoon as the top three in each class received prizes and champions were crowed along with special awards for the most improved, they were as follows, Matheus Macedo most improved male, Julianna Moreno most improved female and Rodgrigo Ferrer-Asad most improved junior. Congrats to all!
