Old Great Bear Chase (Calumet, MI) Results
I'm getting back into ski racing this winter, and as such am wishing I
had saved my results from back in the day. In particular, I'm interested in the 1991 Great Bear Chase in Calumet, Michigan. The organizers don't have these results in an easy-to-find form (i.e., electronic files), but recommended that I post something here in case anyone has the results for that race. I believe I skied the shorter of the two races (i.e., not the 50-something kilometer race), and I would have been in the 18-year-old age group. Any help is appreciated. Thank you. Wishing I still had those springy legs, Christopher |

Wishing I still had those springy legs, Huh? 2007-1991 = 16 18+16 = 34 If you're 34-35 years old, there's absolutely no reason for not beating your own results as an 18-year old! :-) Terje PS. I'm wishing I still had my 36-year old max heart rate of nearly 240, today (50 years old) I'm at about 185+ with a max O2 of 56 ml/kg. OTOH, I'm still able to sustain a 170+ bpm average over an orienteering competition, this should be about 92-93% of max, and in most sports that's pretty high, right? -- - "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" |

I don't doubt that I can beat my younger self's time (if I can find out what it is), but just the same I do wish my (34-y.o.) knees didn't creak quite so much. If there's one thing motivating me to get back to racing now, it's what you and another respondent, as well as other posters here, have suggested - being able to get faster and faster - and keep that ability to keep the HR up for long periods. (Back when I skied this particular race, one entrant was already a legend, a then 70-something old Finlander who I noticed still finished last year's 26km classic race as the only person in the 80+ age group.) |
