Ladies Lead Frosties' Craftsbury Effort

Mia Allen and Lisa Bernardin--second and fourth place in the women's 50-59 age group in the 25k event--led the Frost Mountain Nordic contingent Saturday at the Craftsbury Marathon, New England's largest nordic race. The event was held on perfect snow with temperatures in the 20s, and thanks to coach McKuglar, everyone had well-waxed skis, with enough fluorocarbon for fast progress in the hard tracks. Rick Klein--in just his second race outing--placed in the top 10 in the 60 and above category.  Bill McKibben also had a solid race placing in the top ten in the 50-59 age group.  Go Frosties!

Mia Allen wrote "The race was fun - beautiful snow, tracks, temp.  Quite an improvement over last year.    My skis were expertly waxed, kick great - loved them.  Haven't seen overall results but I was second in my age category.  Trina beat me by 5 min. I think.  I love that she's out there at age 65, pulling us along - our carrot!"
