37th Denali State Bank Sonot Kkaazoot skiers definitely appreciated the live results posted by Anna Sorensen, head timer. Long before Anna, there was hand timing by Bad Bob Baker and results done on a Selectric typewriter. Shown above is page 1 of the 1992 Sonot Kkaazoot results for the 50 km race. We see that Karin Gillis, mother of current FXC Masters coach, Christina Turman, was only 30 years old. Sharon Baker was 33 years old. Ken Leary was 34 years old. Only Sharon and Ken from this results page skied on Saturday. Andy Reynolds and I were on page 2 but were still skiing the Sonot Kkaazoot 32 years later.

Maybe when I finish my MFA degree, I’ll have time to scan all the old Sonot Kkaazoot results and post them.
