Women lined up for the start of the Classic Craftsbury Marathon Women’s wave.
Fifty-nine women and one hundred and fourteen men lined up for the Craftsbury Marathon Classic 25 or 50k on Saturday, Jan. 27, 2024. Among them were five MNC masters women and and six MNC masters men. The course would be a 13.5 km loop: two times round for the 25k and three times round for a shortened 50k. With the MNC wax trailer parked in the lot and coaches Rosemary, Adam and Kristen testing wax and dialing in the structure, we quickly klistered up everyone’s skis for good kick. Coach Rosemary then set up a bench trailside with the klister roller ready to give anyone who needed it a little more kick during the race! A little “wax security” goes a long way for a worry free race! Congratulations to Chase Rosenberg, Pascal Cheng, Michael Dillon, Craig Peppin, Jim Adkisson, Andres Torrizo (age class winner), Sara Katz, Karen Alence, Jen Adkisson, Ellie Bouffard and Liz Hollenbach (age class winner) for kick and gliding the distance and having a great time doing it! In addition, we had two Devo skiers ski the 25k with Coaches Adam and Kristen. Congrats to Liam Vile and Oakley Crawford!
This is a Marathon weekend, and that meant a skate 30 km on Sunday. MNC had twelve men and four women compete in Sunday’s skate race. Congrats to Michael Gaughan, Sam Seely, Mike Millar, Owen Lenz, Brian Sprague, Chris Howell, Duncan Dubief (Jr), Chris Flannery, Gretta Kilburn (age class winner), Sheila Weaver and Coach Rosemary (age class winner).
Extra kudos go out to Sara Katz, Michael Dillon and Pascal Cheng who all raced BOTH days, completing the “Brodhead Challenge”, skiing essentially almost 80 km over the course of the two days and proving that they are incredibly fit and tough! Hats off to all three of you!
Women head up the teaching hill.
