ILG GETS 2ND OVERALL IN RACE #1; AZ STATE NORDIC CHAMPIONSHIP...A 3-PEAT NOT LIKELY




It's a nice conundrum to have at 47; apparently, the only people capable of beating me in a Classic Ski Race so far this year must be decades younger and members of National Teams!

This morning was Race #1 of the AZ State Nordic Ski Championships of which i am the two-time defending Champion.

On the venue was a grueling 15-kilometer high-altitude course that even had National Biathlon Team Member; Karl Granoth tilting his head a bit before the Race Gun went off. i pre-skied the Course on Thursday thinking i'd practice a little skate skiing (i've only been on my skate skis 3x this winter) afterward. Holy Heaven! i was so worked over, i went straight home to take a nap with the (sick) girls.

Can't say enough about WF...for this broken back yogi to crank off a 15k Classic Race without spinal pain is an absolute Blessing of WF. THANK YOU, WF!

The black-and-white fact that i was only beaten by a National Team member, is fantastic and that i was able to keep him close to only a minute makes me deeeeply stoked.

i led the 25-strong peleton for the opening kilometer...
