2012 Canadian Ski Marathon



Good conditions, sunny but very chilly weather (lows went from below zero to a high of 12 degrees), enabled us to ski 100k in six sections. The girls tied the 1989 NCS record for the most sections, however they broke the record for a single day ... 68K in four sections! Let it be known, that the coach, the Hockmeister, the coureur de bois was dragging by the end of Saturday's tour. Hannah and Lucy are clearly way stronger, fitter, and more technically proficient than last year. I recovered well, and thoroughly enjoyed the 30K tour that we did on Sunday.
