I think it's typical for some that qualified to not be able to make the trip. Being in Calgary, more may be able to do it. Either way, a big congrats to those that qualified and to those that were just short...Not at all a small accomplishment, IMHO. Clearly, the field that make it is very small. Those that were in the top 20 or so certainly should be proud of their accomplishment as well. Maybe even more so....It takes a lot of money to buy whiskey and ride that train.
