For the 2nd week in a row, Claire bundled up and Skied the Birkebeiner. The weather was less than Stellar, but she went for it anyway!!! The night before and just before the race, a ton of wet, squishy snow fell, making the well groomed trails not so well groomed. Claire skied 5 kms, but he skiing coach did the full race of 55 kms with a 5.5 kg pack strapped to his back. Mr. Dunn said it was the hardest Berkie he had completed in a long time.
People like to dress up for the Birkie. This is a clown waiting at the start line.
