To make it authentic, he went with no poles cradled a football. It was awesome! Thanks Tony!https://ericpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/3955970_orig.jpg3955970_origAfter 13k of one-pole skiing I got a new pole entering Pontresina at the 20k mark. Clarke (our wax tech) had our spare poles in Pontresina itself at 21k, so 1k later I switched the pole out for my own and got back on course. I decided to hammer - I had a lot of catching up to do AND a lot of people have been extremely generous in supporting me, so giving up was not an option!https://ericpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/3934355_orig.jpg3934355_origAt 7k, my pole snapped unexpectedly. Everyone I asked refused to give me a replacement (I can't blame them - how would they ever get it back!) so I ended up waving the broken stub above my head while no pole skating with the lead pack. I hung on for maybe 4k before my legs flooded and I dropped off. https://ericpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/start.jpgStartAbout 1k into the race crossing over the first lake. If you look closely I'm right in the middle of the picture in bib 230. The traffic was unlike anything I've ever experienced in any other race, EVER. The first 10k of the race crosses over two lake, and is pancake flat into a headwind. There is no way for anyone to get away, so the pack stays in a huge bunch.

The course was incredibly flat, and nearly the entire men’s field double poled on skate skis. In previous years, sprint double pole has been a weakness of mine, so I focused on it this summer, working with Gus to improve my strength and body position. I qualified 6th, two seconds out of the lead. (Fasterskier.com photo)https://ericpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/bozeman1.jpgBozemanSkate sprint qualifier in Bozeman.
