Due to the dry spring, there were not many wildflowers to be seen, though race winner Jason Jones of Oakley would not have had much time to see the at the pace he was going.
He won the race with a time to 42.18 and was followed closely by Derek Wurst of Pittsburg at 43.01. The top five finishers were all under 45 minutes.
