Robb Finishes 8th at Pine River Run, Merrill, WI

Wow what a good and fun day. Sunday at Merrill was tough on everyone since it was snowing hard.

The trail was much slower and it really mattered what type of plastic or waxed runners used on the trail. Robb & I got it right this time. Robb had a downhill flying pass with Ted Wallace since Ted had not gotten the runners right. While all teams were slower most were slower by almost 2 minutes….Robb only by 1 minute. He moved up to 8th out of 24….had a very fast day time and came in feeling like a racer.

His times were Sat/15:45:85….Sun/16:57:98….the fastest day time Sunday was 15:48:40 from Beth Castaldi. This was a 4.5 mile course through Wisconsin farm land with the first 1 ½ miles up a steep hill. I also did well, only losing a minute on Sunday and moving up to 4th out of 23. Ken
