Men's skate Time Trials

Men’s Time Trials.
\r\n
\r\nToday’s men’s skate time trial was held on the Reit im Winkle World Cup course. The course is 5 serpentine kilometers all twisted around a single open hill. The course climbs the hill from every side and climbs the front side five times making the course very spectator friendly. Few of the climbs are long, but they are all closely linked and often steep making it a tough course.
\r\nThe temperature was –7 but the snow was much colder after a very cold night and so quite slow.

\r\nLars Flora 26:22 12:41 13:41

Carl and AJ heading toward the finish... the amount of skiers out touring around is amazing. Crouds will be huge for the races this weekend and at the Worlds which are coming right up.
