For four days, the big story here in Anchorage has been Kikkan Randall, who won both races held here on Saturday and Monday.

The narrative was no different today. In the 20k mass start classic race, Randall again skied her way to victory....

HAYWARD, WI (DECEMBER 15, 2008) After a successful weekend of racing at Silver Star a week ago, the fate of our challenging North American SuperTour/NorAm race season was going to be tested again and again (and again).
