Finn O'Connell is gearing up for the American Birkenbiner this weekend. But first he is going to give us a 4 part update series on the races he has done since his last update. This is part 1 of 4. Finn tackles the RMISA races in Vail/Minturn Colorado. The weekend included a 7.5k skate race and a 10k classic. Both at 9000ft.
