Lake Placid Loppett

Team HURT had a strong showing at the Lake Placic Loppet, with 9 skiers showing up to race. All 9 were truly needed, as the Peru boys brought an entire army of evil or at least a brigade.

Best results of the day came from the Underwood duo. Bob winning the overall 25K classic by minutes and Heidi winning the 25K skate, again by minutes.

Here is Bob letting some of his competition have a false sense of security at the start. "Ohh my god, I am beating Bob, OMG!" Well this lasted for a few hundred more meters.


David Burt also had a good race, winning a silver in the M6 25K classic.

Tim Huneck, brought his suitcase of courage, and signed up for the 50K skate. This comes off his great 50K Classic at Craftsbury last weekend. Two 50K races back to back, man this guys loves to ski or just enjoys the pain.

Here is Tim questioning his logic at 17K.


Rene Clarke just missed the podium, in a very deep field, with a solid 4th place finish in the M8 25K classic.

The real brawl was in the 25K skate. A massive field and a crazy start caused the first 5K to be hectic, with the entire lead pack coming to screeching halts on some of the uphills.

MDH ski'd smooth and came home with a bronze in M3.


Yarsevich, Farry, and Tetlow also battled the masses in the 25K skate, with Tetlow taking the gold in the 18-24 division.

HURT preparing to hammer.
