Dave Prusak and Eric Buetow finished the virtual Sonot Kkaazoot 20 km yesterday in a time of 2:14:06, placing them currently in second place among men in the virtual 20 km event.

Dave, a Minnesotan who underwent shoulder surgery in December, skis with one pole and commented that they made lots of stops to chat with people Eric knows and to watch a coyote.

Dave and Eric took advantage of the Virtual Sonot Kkaazoot route flexibility by starting and ending their ski at Eric’s home on the Chena River. How many ski race courses can you access from your front yard?

Here’s Eric in a tuck as he descends from the 20 km turnaround.
