Today we had a mass start classic race. J2’s raced 4 km, J1 girls raced 8 kms and older boys raced 12 kms. We started everyone together and used a 4 km lap. This created some congestion and different pacing options which was perfect practice for JN’s.
Skyler took it out hard and many of the chasers paid the price. Heather hammered with some of the boys and pulled away from the other girls but was swallowed up 1/2 way through. It was a great practice because everyone got exposed to different scenarios in a mass start. Do you hang on or pace yourself, do you go or wait etc… I am confident that everyone learned something from the time trail and that is always good.

The girls chase pack at 2 km. They reeled in Heather 1 km later and had a good battle over the 2nd lap of the course.
Bridger skied smoothly.
