This past Saturday, February 2nd the MSSM Nordic Ski Team went to Caribou for the longest race of their season. While only 2 kilometers longer than the typical 5k race, I'm sure most racers would agree they could feel the added distance. Racers were sent out two at a time with fifteen seconds between each set.
