Rainbow Rendezvous Results
Conditions: Temperature: 29F, no wind, cloudy; crusty icy covered trails and tracks making the today's race condition super fast.Race summary: 29 skiers from Twin Cities, Detroit Lakes, Park Rapids, Fargo-Moore/ND-MN, Ames/IA, Norway hit the race courses in the morning. Course records were broken by our local rising star skier, Jake Richards, and Birkie veteran skier, Craig Stolen. The fast icy condition made the 10k, 16k, and 6k courses fun yet challenging. The common comments from the finishers were "fun", "fast, and "icy too". It kind of reminded the Birkie veterans the year of 2002. The classic tracks were well set, klister condition and very fast. The skiers visiting from Norway were surprised by the hills they skied and loved it!
