Hopkinton 5km

The Boston CSU boys Jon Peterson and Andy Milne invaded the Hopkinton 5km and stormed away with the silver and gold. Both of us were surprised to see that they had so much snow, and bad news for the natives, the course looks like Weston. Both Jon and I started on the far left while most racers took the right lanes. When the gun went off, we understood why. Our poles immediately went through the two feet of soft snow, while the others zoomed ahead - far
ahead. So there was work to be done navigating around slower skiers. Prior to our race they had numerous school buses and hundreds of excited folks cheering on the high school racers. The facilities are quite good, and the race organizers were wonderful. Best of all the drive is only an hour.
