Results from GMVS 5/10km skate time trial
Yesterday we had a crew travel down to Waitsfield for our first big Central VT Coop event of the fall: a 5km/10km skate time-trial. Along with athletes from GMVS, Burke Mtn Academy and Ford Sayre, MNC athletes were greeted by a gorgeous fall day in the Mad River Valley, a tough course, and some delicious American Flatbread pizza!
The courses are point-to-point; both courses start on East Warren Road and finish with a ~1.2km climb up Plunkton Rd. Conditions were basically perfect with brilliant sunshine, dry roads and temp around 60*.
Overall I was really amazed by these performances from all of the MNC boys! Ethan, Bill and Henry all participated last Fall and all 3 of them smashed their old PR’s by at least a minute. Conor Munns — who is technically still a BKL’er — had a time that was nearly 40 seconds faster than the 5km course record (set last year by future Junior National Champion Forrest Hamilton)… and Conor finished 4th in the event. Will Solow threw down a blistering 12:58 and when he crossed the finish line he remarked “damn, I thought I had longer to go…I could’ve gone way harder!”
Overall it was just an awesome day to see some former teammates, future teammates, friends and to ski on some different roads.
5km (U16 boys):
- Will Solow (MNC) 12:58
- Adam Glueck (Ford Sayre) 13:13 (26th place in 2014 Junior National 5km skate)
