Team FSx racer Kate Whitcomb won her first SuperTour title in Sunday's 10k mass-start freestyle at the Telemark Lodge in Wisconsin, even overcoming a broken pole tip on the second lap. The terrain on the course was fairly easy, but the new wet hardpack snow conditions were not. (Sunday's article has more on the women's race: http://www.fasterskier.com/racing3017.html and men's race: http://www.fasterskier.com/racing3015.html .)

<p>Kate answered a few questions for fasterskier.com, about 45 minutes after the finish.</p>
<p>F.S. How did it go out there?</p>
<p>K.W. -It went well! It went really well. I lost a basket on the second lap, but luckily someone was right there to give me another one so I didn't lose any time.</p>
<p>What kind of grind did you go with today?</p>
<p>-Z40XL, yeah it's a good one – Zach Caldwell. I definitely wasn't losing anything on the downhills.</p>
