Hello everyone, here is a quick update from the BC Championships in Kelowna.
We did 2 races so far, yesterday the races were done using the mass start format in skating while today we were using the interval start format in classic.
Yesterday the conditions were near ideal while today, the races took place during a snow storm with accumulation close to 30 cm during the races. That was a good opportunity for our Yukon skiers to experience very challenging track conditions which we rarely see in the Yukon :-)
Overall, a great opportunity for all to experience fast racing with good competition from BC, Alberta and Washington State.
Here is the summary of results from yesterday and today:
