Nationals Week: 5/10k Classic Mass Start

Written by

in

Today was our third of four time trials – a 5/10k mass start classic race.  Scott and the girls raced the 5k while the older boys raced the 10k.  It was chilly out this morning and after a 30-45 minute warm up for everyone the races got underway. 
The girls head uphill in the first K of the course.  Katharine, Scott, and Brooke took off, Kenz chased them down, and then the rest of the girls skied together before separating.  
Katharine with less than a K to go.

 Results for the 5K (above) and 10K (below). Kenz was having a good one before she took a tumble and got some minor roadrash (she’s ok!), hence the DNF.  As always, not all skis are created equal.
