This past weekend it was our earnest
intention to race at the Wasaga Loppet. There was, however, not enough snow on
the ground to have that fulfilled. But good old Highlands had more then enough snow for
a weekend of skiing, and so trips were planned for both Saturday and
Sunday. Saturday's schedule was a day
of nice easy skiing, with some technique work, and for Sunday there was a time
trial planned, in which we would be joined by Guelph.
On Saturday Derek, Ryan and Katie
made the trek, enjoyed some beautiful sunshine
(although it was still quite chilly)
and both Katie and Ryan got some classic technique expertise from
Derek.
Sunday came around and a few more
Waterloo athletes came along, this time it was Colin, Alison, Lucy, Katie and
Ryan. The time trial was to be 5km
classic for the women and 10km classic for the men. After the appropriate wax was chosen for the
day, everyone waxed up and made their way up the glacier to the start
line. The results are as follows:

It was a great race experience to
get out onto some real snow, as neither Waterloo or Guelph has ski-able snow. Next weekend both teams will
travel to North Bay to participate in the North Bay/Nipissing OUA
invitational.
