Elm Creek Series

by Melinda Silbernick
December 17, 2014

Race Course: 2 laps of 2.5k (Valley trail), race distance (5K) both Skate and Classic. Mass start!

Conditions: Air Temp. 18 F mild wind, extremely fast conditions.

Again the ECTT posted a strong field with record breaking times! Alex Reich posted the winning skate time and almost took the classic race as well, however Jon Miller edged him out at the finish line. Some of the top finishers took a few tumbles to shake up the field and keep it interesting. Almost everyone turned in great times because of the competitive field tonight. Laura Moore showed off her talent as she took home the gold in the skate race and posted the fastest Classic race for the female competition. Allie Rykken took a group of loppet skiers to complete their first ECTT, as shown in the picture. They had a blast and will be back!

Attention all skiers - Race date Change! Our next ECTT will be on Tues Dec 23 instead of Wed Dec. 24th, Because of Christmas Eve.
