Here's one more shot from the Keski skate race. This is the lead pack as they went through the 43k mark. Just in the background you can see Ottawa native Karl Saidla getting "unhitched" from this lead trio. Unfortunately he says it was here that he could no longer keep up to the torid pace and had to settle in to a more sustainable tempo to conserve a 4th place finish (2 minutes back at the finish line). A noble effort indeed and well done not to completely blow up and fall further in the field during the closing kilometers.
Most of my pictures from the weekend have been posted up at XC Ottawas site (in the sidebar) along with a bunch of other great photos from the weekend - feel free to click through and check them out..

Hey, Ken: I looked for your photos on XCOttawa, but couldn't find them. Guess I just don't know where to look. Help?! Mom in Santa Rosa, NM
