Beautiful skiing at the Rangeley Loppet last weekend! A good-sized crew made the trip up to enjoy the perfect mid-winter conditions: Jordan, Alec, Riley, Hannah M, Lucy, James, and Mike in the 50k, and Abigail and Jackson in the 25k. Tyler also tagged along - he was looking for a long threshold workout, so he classic skied the 25k loop on his own. Mike upstaged the youngsters with a 4th place finish in the 50k - old man's still got it. Since the 25 & 50 started together, Jackson skied with the leaders for about 20k before taking off to post a clear victory (complete with a nice spin move to cross the line backward) - he won a nice black bear carving for his efforts. Tyler timed his threshold workout - turns out that he would have won the classic race by a good margin, which is kind of cool. Good skiing all around - everyone felt good and learned a lot about pacing and fueling. This is such a fun race for our team - always a good learning experience and confidence builder, especially for our young skiers. Looking forward to bringing a big crew back next year!
