Soho Races & So Many Pics

January 10, 2021

Hello everyone!

This past month has been a whirlwind of time-trials, training, time at home with family, and the first real races of the season. As the new year rolled in, we made our way over to Utah for our first FIS races of the season. The conditions at Solder Hollow were top notch with a fun, rolling skate sprint and a challenging 10/15k classic course with a lot of climbing. The weekend didn’t end up going how I would have liked, and although it was tough to swallow, I did learn a lot and know that I will have a lot more to give as the season progresses. For now, I’m putting the races behind me and setting my eyes on the month of competitions ahead. The BSF squad as a whole, however, had some really great performances at these races with several podiums and top-10 finishes. It's always a great day to see your teammates crushing it.  We’re now back training in Bozeman which has been amazing with all the new snow we’ve gotten. Looking forward to our next FIS races coming up this coming weekend!

Since reading long articles can get boring… here is our race week summarized in some pics:
