CIC3* cross country is under way here at The Fork. Lynn Symansky and Donner are your overnight leaders after show jumping, with Marilyn Little and RF Smoke on the Water in second and Shandiss McDonald and Rockfield Grant Juan sitting in third place. Lynn posted on Facebook last night that she is not planning to go for time, while Marilyn said in the Friday press conference that she will be going for time today. It will be an exciting finish! I’ll be posting live updates from my phone like I did for the Advanced division. Keep checking back for all the action in the CIC3* cross country here at The Fork.
