Barren winter, with his wrathful nipping cold
They’re off and the race is on!
46 racers speed off from a staggered start, which went from 07:30 to 09:30. From a total of 49 registered competitors, two skiers (#18- Bria Schurke, and #49- Chris Maher) and one cyclist (#20-Gregg Pattison) did not start. It was a sunny and bright morning, if perhaps a bit brisk at –33 C (-28 F).
This year there are three Brazilian runners (Rodrigo Cerquiera, Marta Arato, and Mario Lacerda) who say they are concerned about the cold. Because you must be self-sufficient, they are bringing charcoal with them, and intend to grill their way to the finish.
Report at 13:00
This first day appears to be separating the herd. There are three DNF’s (Did Not Finish). #39- Joe Galloway dropped out at 11:00. Bikers #10- Laurie Woodbury and #11- Richard Woodbury dropped just before noon.
