Mora Vasaloppet

Pun intended.



While I was sweating in a crowded building on sunday at the bike swap, Sam was out in the -30+ wind chill racing the Vassaloppet. Conditions were slow as the wind driven snow put allot of drag on the skis. He actually fell at the finish because he unexpectedly hit a patch of wind blown snow which is like hitting the brakes. Cold snow in skiing is like the muddy races of mtb races. It just takes so much power to keep going it feels like an uphill battle. He surprised himself in the end though, coming in 26th out of 233. Brutal race. He said it was a Chequamegon like effort.
