Hi there, Tour de Finn fans! We are through with our second annual Tour de Finn, which was about three times as much racing as the first year, which made strategy a fair amount more thrilling. We were able to break out bonus points every three races skied (3, 6, 9 races).
We were able to crack into the “best six races” rule because 11 people ended up skiing over 6 races! With events overall still having a tough year likely due to the second consecutive year of low snow, we are seeing a boost in numbers in Tour de Finn specific races within an event. So thanks to everyone who did even one more race than they otherwise would - we’re here to support our Midwest races and here to do it in community. Even if we need to trash talk the other teams once in a while :) NOT THAT I WOULD!
Please find yourselves invited to a post-Tour de Finn celebration with awards and door prizes (and food and beer!) at Finn Sisu this Thursday, March 20 - 6:30 - 8 pm.
