HURT Rallies for Thunderdome Sunday

Just when Team HURT seemed to be on the ropes, Director Extraordinaire Aaron Huneck rallies the team.




"I'm not sure what it was. Maybe all the Peru trash talking, my brother Austin out and our skating stud Dave feeling ill, but something was missing during Saturday's race. Add to that, no Dave or Deihl for Sunday and something had to be done. Therefore, I am calling in the ringers, both Bob and Heidi Underwood, to dominate the master's field. I will also join the action, to help lead my team and show them how to properly throw down!"

And with that proclamation Team HURT got after it, in a mass start classical throw down!


The juniors were out early, for a quick 5K classic race. Austin was back in his all powerful HURT racing suit, shaking off illness, like it was a wee little NYSEF racer. Austin, Brian, and Adam placed 6,7,and 14th respectively, in a tough field.

Next, it was the all powerful, but rarely seen Underwood duo. Heidi won the master's race and Bob placed second in the master's field, storming through the field after starting at the back of the grid. "Both Heidi and I used these funky 20 year old race suits today to lull our competition into thinking we were off our game, then BAM right by them we went!"



Yarsevich used a good start to get a jump on the PERU boys and tried to hang with Underwood and Seyse as long as possible, finishing 3rd overall in the master's field.

The race of the day goes to the Director's own father, Tim Huneck! He laughed at all the Swix wax voodoo and went with a custom combination of Toko hardwaxes and had a great day, winning his age group.



Also scoring big points was the "Mayor of Medicare" Rene Clark, Dave Burt who stormed back after breaking a pole at the start, and Ed Luban (winning M6).

With this performance, the Director thinks we may have held off the the NYSEF onslaught for another week.
