Congrats to Tim Janson and Luke Shullenberger on some great finishes in the Birkie yesterday. Tim and Luke were 261st and 198th, respectively. That’s out of 3,837 racers! There may have been other MNC racers out there too…let me know. Way to bring some tough New England endurance to the Midwest guys!
Thanks to the Biathlon Nor-Am races this past weekend, we should have an additional 1k added to our snowmaking loops at the Range…how desperate it has gotten that we’re not almost doubling our skiing by adding a kilometer…
This week we will aim to classic ski on Tuesday while temps remain colder, and shoot to skate on Thursday which is expected to be 51 degrees. Stay tuned on whether or not they close the Range loops during that warm day!
2/23 Classic technique work on the newly-opened loop: gradual striding and getting great glide on the uphills
2/25 Skate working on smooth skating in slush: flat skis, light pressure, crisp motions
