Masters were, once again predominant, among competitors in the Quebec Marathons held last weekend at the Gaetan-Boucher Olympic Oval in Ste-Foy, contributing 52 of 70 skaters in the 25 km event on Saturday evening and 32 of 40 in the 40 km race on Sunday morning.
With temperatures around -15C and a 15 km/h wind out of the northwest, the harsh winter weather conditions were dramatically different from the green grass and warmth of the 2006 version of this event. Despite this, an excellent time was had by all skaters who showed up in record numbers for this season opener for the Marathon Skating International (MSI) 2007-08 race series.
Congratulations and many thanks to the competition organizers including Gaetan Rochette, Pierre Gagne and Maurice Gagne.
Details for all competitiors can be seen at 25 km Results and 40 km Results The MSI race series continues December 15 to 16 in Lake Placid.
