I would also like to thank my sponsors, Jenex and Bikeway Source for providing a large number of prizes. Thanks for your support and remember to thank the sponsors if you purchase equipment from them.
While it was pretty cool to start, by the time the race began the brilliant sun had warmed things up to a comfortable race temp. Up the first hill a couple of Harvard skiers, Chris Stock and Akeo Maifeld-Carucci
grabbed the lead, followed by Frank, Andy and new CSU junior Nathan Moreau, along with Tanner Weigand, Bill Farrell and Max LaChance. A little further back I was having a fun time going back and forth with Alex as we tried to close the gap to Bob Burnham while behind us was another good pack of Victor, Robert, Ben Smeltzer and Brad Bates and then a big pack of Harvard women. With the breeze, it was a good day to have someone to draft off of.
In the junior 1 lap race Max got a good lead, followed by Sean and Lewis. On the girls side, Rebecca got a good lead followed up with the pack of Rosie, Hadley and Clara.
On lap two Chris and Akeo continued to hammer, coming home 1st and 2nd overall in very fast times of 36:47 and 36:52, which I think are classic records for this course. Then another hammer-fest was shaping up with Andy, Frank and Tanner, Nathan and John. Frank got the jump on Andy somewhere on the home straight, from what I heard, with Tanner coming in just behind followed by Nathan and John. On the women's side Alex skied well in 1st place, followed by the Harvard women Alena Tofte and Jennifer Rolfes.
A beautiful day for a race and with 33 racers, the biggest group in a number of years, including several people down from NH and Maine. Thanks all for coming and making it a good race!
