This post is a bit overdue, but the results have finally been confirmed and I am proud to say that we had great participation by MNC and great results! In my mailbox today was a packet from the race director with a plethora of awards to hand out to our crew:
Unbelievable! We had so many firsts in this race: Sylvie and Ansel each raced for the first time. Pippa and Jonah raced a long 4 km for the first time. Pearl raced in Vermont for the first time. And this was our first race at our new venue Bolton on our re-newed trail, Picnic. In addition to that, we had three kids place first in their age groups: Kate, Liam & Pearl. We all agreed that it was a pretty tough race course (hilly!), but we are tougher for it!
It’s a little weird to race with your team mates in a time trial and then see your results stacked against kids you never saw or heard of who raced on a completely different course in a completely different place! Who knows if their course was harder or easier than ours or if conditions were faster or slower? There are so many variables, that you really can’t put much weight on these results. But it sure was fun to do a race and I know that I have a fast & tough group of Racers this year. Do you see that they are all wearing their masks while racing in these photos? They have been doing such a great job with mask wearing and social distancing at ski practices. I am so proud of these kids! Photos below. If you want to view the results, find them on the Bogburn Facebook page.
Liam- says he doesn’t like classic as much, but look how good he looks!
