Byron Broda becomes the first skier to complete the virtual Sonot Kkaazoot 50 km in 4:33:47.

Way to go, Byron!

OK, where are the rest of the SCUM, who were cutting short their Sunday workouts when Byron was still skiing?

Bill Husby (aka Poles) finishes his second 20 km (see blog for his 20 + km ski on Tuesday before virtual Sonot began). His time was 1:26.13 with 33 seconds added to start and stop his phone timer.

This moves Bill ahead of Bad Bob Baker as first virtual 20 km
Sonot finisher.

Carl (Thumper) Hemming started with Bill but because he took the proper precautions finished in 1:47:33. Going the low tech route, Thumper didn’t need to adjust his recorded time.

Maybe Bill was under the influence when skiing.

Christi Eickholt is the first female finisher for the virtual 20 km on 19 March 2020, the spring equinox. Her time was 2:11:15 putting her in second place among women.

And Christie’s comments from Facebook:

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.

What’s keeping you from joining Dave, Eric, and the Bakers as finishers in this year’s virtual Sonot Kkaazoot?
