RESULTS: Kevin Tarras and Christina Turman win Forbush Time Trial
Sat, Dec 18, 2021 - By Mike Muha
What a change from Lakes of the North! Lakes of the North was like skiing on a wide two-track; the Forbush Corner Nordic Time Trial was like racing on a highway - immaculate trails, fast classic tracks, and great snow! The tracks were fast on the downhill, and marathon skating in the tracks around inside corners was exceptional. Overnight, the weather changed from warm, wet, and cloudy to cool and sunny. It was a perfect day for a ski race.
My Garmin measured the course at just shy of 6km with 374 feet of elevation gain.

Kevin Tarras (15:32), Jordan Wakely (15:40) and Bradley Baas (15.52) were the top three men.
Christina Turman (17:23), Jamie Chapman (18:12), and Rebecca Davis (19:21) were the fastest women. Turman's pace would have placed her in 6th overall for the men, and Chapman's time would have placed her in the top 10 in the men's race.
