"Ski" Ultramarathon on Saturday, March 7, 2015. The ski race completed was the 36th Annual Rendezvous 50K. I finished basically tying my PR for a 50K ski race doing it "classical style" with a time of 4 hours, 30 minutes.
Most of the racers skied "freestyle" which typically is twice as fast, so I was one of the last skiers to complete the course. I again (like last year) finished 2nd to last beating out a 76 year old freestyle skier in the last 5K or so. Oh, well, I had fun I am super glad I finished with a smile on my face. It's amazing I finished with the same time as last year!
I super love these Rendezvous Ski Trails out of West Yellowstone! These are the best trails I've ever skied on, for sure! I love them!
Here are a few pictures. Again, like last year, there were around 7 people standing around at the end to welcome me in. (there are hundreds of skiers that do this race!) They all vanished! I got some random guy to take my picture and I walked across the street to my hotel room. After a long soak in the hot tub, a huge steak, some unbelievable great chicken wings, and 3 great draft beers were waiting for me in the bar! Wow, what a day!
