Another gorgeous day for our third Ski and Snowshoe-Orienteering meet
this year. Snow conditions were better than we’ve ever known them and an
interesting article in the
Four courses were set: two for snowshoeing; two
for skiing. Snowshoe participants clearly outnumbered the skiers – 20 “starts”
to 12. Total participation was 17 on skis, 47 on ‘shoes, though that included 8
kids under 10 years of age, all but two of whom were two years or younger –

Some of the fastest competitors had tiny ones
with them : Nicolas Taillifer
pulled his 10-months old son Tristan in a pulka and
still returned with the second fastest time on the “Short-Ski”. In the “Short-‘Shoe”
Martin Bedard covered his course in 1:12:25, while
Denise OBriain and Jeff Secours were 2nd
while toting their sons Ryan, 2 years and Kyle, 5-months. Kyle was the star in
last week’s “Chronicle” article.
In the 9.3 km “Long-Ski” event Eric
Lillie turned in a great time of 1:20:30. The course consisted of first
completing a 5.7 km ski (as the crow flies) and then continuing on a 3.8 km
course. Bruce Glen was 2nd in 1:37:09 and Ralph Seyfert
was 4 minutes behind for 3rd.
In the 5.7 km (atcf)
“Long Snowshoe-O” David Agar took just 1:04:10 to claim 1st
place, 6 minutes ahead of Andreas Rutkauskas who was
2nd. Jessica Auer had a fine race to finish a strong 3rd
in 1:25:17.
Congratulations to all who participated…both
competitively and recreationally.
Thanks also to Elaine, Bruce and Eric for flag
pick-ups and to Gloria who handled registration.
