Awards

Since I didn't race today, I had a lot of time to sit around and be judgemental, here's the outcome.

Latest Riser: The Sun. Where we were waxing didn't get any sun until 11:30. We had to stand there in the cold watching the line of bright sunshine s.l.o.w.l.y. creep towards us.

Cutest Race Hair: Melody Scheefer's pigtails. She claims that her hair is too short to work in a ponytail, but I think she was out to rack up style points today, especially with her cupcake frosting, pink-and-white jacket.

Nicest Winner: Alexa Turzien, junior women. Alexa is just sweet, unassuming, pleasant, and she skied really well today!

Best Cookie: Perry's Bakery and Eatery. They had a couple of those promising pink bakery boxes full of their chocolate chip and raisin/coconut cookies at the start/finish area. Really good & I am hoping they have them tomorrow too.

Most Cookies Eaten: I'm not 100% sure, but I suspect it was Bryan Cook.

Hottest Racer: That's right, my teammate, Caitlin Compton, hands down. She also skied pretty fast today too, second overall behind Amanda Ammar (CAN).

Best Awards: SVSEF because if you make top three at these SuperTour races you get a boquet of flowers a hand-painted ceramic dish AND a white envelope with money.

Highest IQ: Erik Flora (APU coach). It was about 400m from the parking lot to the race start so all the teams had to pack in their gear. Flora had clipped skis onto their waxing table turned it upside down (so the skis were runners) and piled their wax boxes in between the legs like it was a sled. I was impressed.

Best Split Givers: Matt Whitcomb & Pat Casey. I was out at the top of the long hill with them during the women's race and they cheered for every single girl who came by and gave splits to almost everyone.

CXC Absentee Award: Goes to both our teammates Andre Watt and Matt Leibsch who raced skate sprints at Ironwood, MI this morning. Watt qualified second and finished third in the men's A final and Leibsch raced the men's B final and took 5th or 6th. CXC representin' in the midwest!

More results:
men 10km: Freeman (1, USST), Goldsack (2, CAN), Roycroft (3, CAN) Kuzzy (14), Cook (24), Gregg (26).
women 5km: Ammar (1, CAN), Compton (2), Betcherman (3, CAN), Williams (4, CAN), Mannix (5, USST).
jr. men 10km: Reid Pletcher (1, SVSEF)
jr, women 5km: Alexa Turzian (1, SVSEF), Liz Stephan (2, USST), Rosie Brennan (3).
