OK, I've heard similar things from enough other folks now to know that it wasn't just me who was a bit surprised by the "extra length" of the Birkie. You see, I thought it was a 45km race, so at 43km I decided to use up what was left in the tank (which wasn't much)... but that extra 1.7km they added was *really* tough for me. I bonked pretty hard right at 45km, and then got a bad attitude when the tracks all but disappeared the rest of the way.
So my question is: were the rest of you surprised at the extra distance at the end? When did they decide to make it 46.7km? Should comments be directed to the Birkie Foundation, or should we just have the attitude "what's a couple-a kilometres amongst nordic friends?" -- Scott Bachmeier University of Wisconsin - Madison / SSEC / CIMSS mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.ssec.wisc.edu/~scottb _______________________________________________ http://www.MadNorSki.org/ XC mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/xc
