TNR #4 Skiathlon Results

The various stages of the ski exchange zone

Last Updated: 23.Jan.2019

Last night's Tuesday Night Racers took on a skiathlon, racing two legs of a course that took them out to Murphy's, along Round-a-Lot, and then a loop of Lemon's Haunt. After the first leg on classic skis, racers skied into the ski exchange zone, swapped their skis and poles, and took off for a skate leg.

Nils Koons and Ethan Dreissigacker were the first to arrive in the ski exchange zone after the classic lap, and exited the zone together. Nils pulled ahead on the skate lap, however, finishing nearly thirty seconds ahead of Ethan, who took second place. The next finisher, GRP rower Lucas Bellows, crossed the line nearly two and a half minutes later.

The women's race was won by Running Director Heidi Caldwell, who was 5th place overall. She was followed by JoAnn Hanowski in second and Trina Hosmer in third.
