More Ulus for the x-c skiers in the skate races


Today, we had the nicest day since we arrived in Nuuk on Sunday :-) The sky was mostly clear, it was mild and calm and we could see the beautiful mountains surrounding Nuuk :-)

The Yukon cross country skiers had another great day with four more Ulus. Simon Cash started the day by winning the 10 km Junior Male category easily. Natalie Hynes followed in similar fashion winning the10 km over Hannah Deuling by a comfortable margin. Hannah was tied at the line with an Alaska skier so 2 silver medals were awarded. Finally, the last Ulu was won by Derek Deuling in the 3.75 km Midget category by finishing second, like his older sibling :-)

You can find the complete results at the following link;


Tomorrow, we will race the relay races in classic. We have made up our teams of 3 skiers, as planned, based on the results from the classic races held Tuesday. The weather could again play an important role as another blizzard is forecasted for Thursday, stay tuned! Alain
