Masters Medals Come To Menihek Nordic
The Whaleback Nordic Ski Club in Stephenville was the site of the Provincial Masters Ski Championships on February 9th and 10th. In the first day of racing Rhonda Lawrence captured gold in the Masters 2 Women's Free Technique race with a time of 33:18:1 followed by team mate Cynthia MacLoughlan in a time of 35:41:5 . Alf Parsons won gold for the Masters 3 Men in a time of 34:03:7 with Gerry Rideout crossing the line in eighth place with a time of 53:30:6. On Sunday the classic races were run with Rhonda Lawrence taking gold again in a time of 37:07:8 for the Masters 2 Women , with silver going to Cynthia MacLoughlan in a time of 40:46:0. Alf Parsons crossed the line in first place again in the Master 3 Men with a time of 33:50:7 with Gerry Rideout moving up to sixth place with a time of 52:19:7.
This year the Loppet has been moved to an earlier date in March with the hope that the weather will be more favourable. Another change has been made with regard to the Loppet. The start time has been moved to an 11am start instead of our usual time of 10am. The reason for this change is to allow the temperature to warm up for more comfortable skiing. Please be sure to note this time change when you are preparing for the Loppet. All start times are Labrador time. Busses will be leaving from behind the Mall and departure times are available at the Loppet office at the Mall when you register.
Ski safely and we'll see you on the trails.
