This past weekend I got to race in the Minnesota's largest ski race, the USA Mora Vasaloppet. The event was incredibly well organized and exciting to be apart of. They also awarded the best prizes that I've ever seen-- including intricately painted Dala horses to age group winners and gigantic fresh wreaths for the overall race winners.

Linda (Spring Brook, WI) and Gretchen (St. Cloud, MN) of the "Ski and Tea" women's group were all smiles after winning their respective age classes. These ladies took care of Heather and I for the weekend-- we had a blast with them and spent much of the weekend in laughter.
Here's the lead pack pack during the 35k skate race. I loved getting to cruise around in a pack of skiers, where we took turns cycling through in the pace line. Thanks to skinnyski for the above racing photos. I hope to make it back to Mora for the featured event one of these days, the 58k skate race.
