For a North American event Bromont is a little off the grid. If you’ve noticed an absence of social media updates from your favorite riders this weekend, it’s because they can’t use the Internet on their smartphones on (or rather, they can, but it would cost them a fortune). As Jenni succinctly put it, “Bromont is a black hole of nothingness. Just geese and poutine. That’s it.”
Watching people cut off from their technology is actually kind of hilarious. You don’t know how many people have approached me this weekend in utter despair because they can’t read Eventing Nation or check live scores on EventEntries.com. I point out, “But you’re actually at the event” and they’re like “You don’t understand.”
The good news is that we’ve got your stay-in-the-know hookup here. PRO will be streaming updating via its Live Eventing Radio — you can access it on UStream here. Bromont will also be posting scores as they come in on EventEntries.com and, of course, I’ll be jogging back to the media tent at the conclusion of each division to post an in-depth breakdown of what’s going on out there on EN.
The first CCI1* rider, Buck Davidson, gallops out of the startbox at 9 a.m. Next up are the CCI3*/CIC3* divisions at 11:50 a.m. followed by the CCI2* at 2:25 p.m.
I’m predicting an exciting day — this weekend ain’t gonna be a dressage show — and here’s hoping everyone makes it through those finish flags safe and sound. Allez Concours Complet!
