Duathlon 2017!

Thanks to everyone who came out to the MNC Duathlon this past Sunday! This event has become a huge part of the NENSA calendar and we were excited to welcome skiers of all ages and from all over the area. 131 competitors took to the snow on a warm spring-like day to contest a joint classic/freestyle race. Here are some photos and results, with a full photo album from Dave Priganc linked at the bottom.

Thanks to all the organizers, the timers, the volunteers, and the Craftsbury Outdoor Center!

Great classic skiing last Tuesday on that old klister covered with fresh hardwax! To learn how to get all that stuff off your skis click here. A fun game of “Stones” was enjoyed by all on Thursday night and the rain held off too!

It’s Duathlon Week for BKL! Bring both sets of skis and get psyched to practice duathlon all this week!

THURSDAY: CLASSIC & SKATE. More duathlon practice (we all need practice getting our equipment on and off anyways!). We’ll mostly skate and anyone racing on Sunday can stop a little early so that we have time to help you prepare your skis.
