The 2010 Lake Placid loppet was held on a beautiful day, and a course that was well groomed and quite fast. It was a relatively casual day for me, as my job was to hit the wax (easy to do when its green and blue conditions), and to pace Alex our lead skier for the first 20K, before I put the pedal to the medal. All our kids - including daughter Lucy who was our youngest loppet racer ever - hit their target time goals, and they all took home some hardware, as did some of my staff. As always this is a big accomplishment for middle-schoolers ... 25K with over 1800' of climbing! I skied a 2:19, while our four skiers logged in between 2:25 and 2:59.
