 | xc classic skiing race 2:10:00 [4] | |
| ahr:164 max:176 |
| City of Lakes Loppet Classic Race....mediocre result. did not crack the top half of the field but it was great to get out and race classic....I commend all the organizers and volunteers that give us a chance to race...on the downside I was disappointed by the lack of tracks....80% of the course lacked tracks so it made it hard to push harder.....I found myself having to concentrate on balance when striding the untracked course instead of pushing....what is confusing to me is it looked like there was enough snow to set a shallow track but it did not look like they attempted to do so...press releases stated that they were going to do this on Saturday morning but I did not see any evidence of this....I dont think my placement would have been any better (everyone had the same conditions) but I think everyone in the field would have been faster...times were very slow for the classic race.....Kari did the 10K tour classic in her first ski event and managed to place in the top half and did very well.....after a shower at the YMCA next to the finish line we celebrated our efforts over a beer and food at Old Chicago before catching the bus back to the start...a great day overall... |
