Nordic update Jan 13

Last weekend Dean had his first of the year apearance in a Nordic (non Biathlon) race. Mixiing it up with the Summit county crew. 16km skate around the Frisco Nordic center, Skiing strong to 20th place.
I made it out to the SMR 15km classic on Saturday. As alway's, the weather was colder then expected. I think we started at -10..? Any case, lots of kick, while glide was hard to come by. Good start and felt good with my diagonal striding. Stayed ahead of most of the Masters crew, until 3/4 thru the first lap. Then a couple got by me, but managed to hang on and mix it up the remainder of the race. It was fun to be able to mix it up with these guy's and not just hang on for my life... Lost Jame Howe in the double pole section. He seemed to have a little better glide. (Toko, go figure..) Still a good finish 20th overall and 3rd in my age group (40-44)

This weekend Kyle, Mary, and Dean will hit up the two Biathlon races at SMR, while Phil, John, Matt and I will take on the Steamboat Stampede (23km skate).

Good luck to all this weekend !
