In the team competition at Boston the GBTC men placed 3rd led by David Bedoya, their time a mere 2 minutes out of first, and the women took 7th. Top woman was Tara Vance in 3:02. The masters men had an aggregate time 4 minutes ahead of the women, but placed only 35th in a competition that Bruce Davie called "ridiculously competitive".
