Stowe Nordic Enduro Recap
Six enthusiastic BKL kids and three fearless coaches braved the cold morning temps to do the Stowe Nordic Enduro! This was a new event format where we skied the 10km in five segments, three timed with untimed easy ski breaks (and snacks!) in between. While this was sort of a race, it was more like intervals with snack stops and as much rest in between as you felt like taking! The second food stop was definitely the best with cookies, cider and s’mores with marshmallows roasted over the campfire! The course had great cover, lots of fun descents and a double pole section on single track through the woods. No wind, multiple layers, and hand warmers kept us warm and everyone had a great time! Definitely a fun event to put on your calendar for next year! Hats off to Riley who was the youngest competitor to complete the 10 km course. Great job also to Virginia, Julia, Taylor, Brady, Cole, Coach Eden, Coach Luke, Coach Rosemary and Brad Carlson!
