Alec, Riley and Walt raced the Sugarloaf Marathon on Saturday - all 3 of them turned in solid performances. Skiing in his first and only race of the season, Walt skied with the leaders for a long time, and actually made a big move to break away from the pack around 30k - only eventual winner Wyatt Fereday was able to stay with him. Sadly, he blew up spectacularly at 42k - although he struggled mightily to hold off the chase pack, they finally caught and passed him just a couple kilometers from the finish, and he ended up in 7th. Nonetheless, it was an impressive performance from a guy who's trained less than I have this year. Alec turned in yet another strong 50k effort, finishing just a couple minutes behind Walt in 8th - the way these last few weeks have gone, we might have to turn him into a marathon specialist. Riley wasn't far behind Alec in 10th. Congratulations to Alec and Riley for completing the Triple Crown of New England marathons: Rangely, Bretton Woods, and Sugarloaf. Three marathons in 3 weeks is a heroic feat, especially for a couple of first-years with no previous marathon experience. Very impressive accomplishment - well done guys!
