“Got the 10km out of the way this afternoon.  ½” of fresh cold slow snow blanketed Birch Hill, but I SKATED anyway…only my second race of this season, my first was the Skiathon.  My time….47:47, and that was with MUCH EFFORT!  And PAIN, as I have not been skating much at all.  So, just the 30 and 50k to go.  I will wait for faster snow for those two.  I measured the SONOT KKAAZOOT 10k on my Garmin GPS @ 10.08 kilometers…pretty close.  Ended up double poling quite a bit.  Most definitely the hardest effort this season. 

We also received the face masks today.  I’ve given out about 30 of them already!  I’ll be working out some method of distribution.”

Congratulations, Bad Bob! You’re our first skate skier and the fastest submitted time (so far) for the virtual 10 km Denali State Bank Sonot Kkaazoot.

Tuesday evening is not a great time to do the race as I had to keep dodging around the Jr. Nordic kids out having fun. I’m sure I lost at least 15 seconds doing that! I will be in the White Mtns the next 2 weekends so this may be my only chance to do the Sonot.”

😁

Even though Corrine wasn’t feeling her mojo and spent time dodging Junior Nordic skiers, she moves into the lead for the fastest Virtual Sonot Kkaazoot 10 km with a time of 54:00.

We’ll believe Bill because he is such a great trail groomer. He becomes the first skier to finish the 10 km Virtual Sonot Kkaazoot in under an hour.

On Sunday, Glen Gambrell, who is 54 years old, a pup compared to the first two entries in this year’s virtual Denali State Bank Sonot Kkaazoot, finished his 10-km Sonot Kkaazoot course in 1:25:19 on classical skis. He commented “it was a glorious sunny Sunday afternoon with temps in the upper teens. Snow was fast and I was not!” 

Speed is relative and anytime you can skii long enough to burn 1333 kcals, I think you’re moving right along. I’m glad you enjoyed the sunshine and glorious tracks.

Byron Broda has finished his 10-km Virtual Sonot Kkaazoot for 2021. He wrote in submitting his result:

“Old guy on slow snow but great tracks. Fun, sunny morning. About 5 degrees F in the stadium. Get out and enjoy the grooming. 😊“

Byron’s time was 1:06.00. So right now SCUM skiers are the only official Sonot Kkaazoot entries. Where are all the younger skiers?
