Anyone else hankering for a good, hard, long effort on classic skis after all the race cancelations and lack of snow?
On Saturday, January 21st we will be kicking it old school at the Pincushion Trails. Set on what I like to think of as our Holmenkollen course we will be doing three 16.6k loops for 50k, although 33.2k and 16.6k options are also open. Each loop will start and finish through the stadium so you will be welcome to provide your own feeds on the feed table, rewax or even change out your skis if you so desire. Skiers will set off at two minute intervals on the start list with two starting times available-9:30 & 10:30 a.m. (that is, there will be two start lists, 9:30 & 10:30, with skiers assigned start times at two minute intervals on each list, pick the start list that fits into your schedule). The timing clock will be set out but you are responsible for recording your own finish time.
The day promises to be a challenging “race of truth”.
While this is a club training day, non-club members are more than welcome with a suggested donation of $5 in the trail box. Rsvp to rova@mac.com for a start time on your preferred start list or show up at 9:30 or 10:30 and slide into an open slot.
See you at Pincushion.
