MVP Health Care Frigid Infliction

2010 Results

(Less detailed text results are available, and you can also view the results in the very cool new timeline format!)

The 2010 MVP Health Care Frigid Infliction is behind us, and what a race it was! Snow conditions varied widely over the course of the day, from solid hard-pack, to deep heavy powder, to slush and mud. March may not have given us the powder of years past, but it came through with a beautiful sunny day!


The race started with an uphill trek/snowshoe to the main transition area for the day. As the sun came up over the hills, racers dropped off skis and snowshoes to posthole three checkpoints in any order. After returning for snowshoes, another 4 points in any order awaited - beautiful views at the top of some brutal climbs, and course designer Chris waiting at one of the points. There was also an extra point worth an 80 minute bonus that seven of the 31 teams successfully retrieved.


As the first teams started coming back from the snowshoe, they were greeted by the noise of a team of sled dogs prepping for a run. (And leaving behind an... interesting trail. Hmm.) We made the decision to cut one of the more distant points on the ski leg to try keeping everyone on-track to make the tyrolean cutoff. Eventually, as the course continued to slow in the bright sun, we decided to direct a little less than half of the teams to bypass the ski and head straight down to the tyrolean.


After a fun tyrolean crossing the Little River, the final snowshoe/ski leg proved to be more difficult than expected. Warm weather turned sections of the previously well-groomed snowmobile trail into a muddy mess, and the nice easy path back to the finish line became a navigation and elevation-filled challenge.


When all was said and done, Team Granite crossed first with a time on course of 8 hours, 39 minutes followed 5 minutes later by teams UltraBambi and UltraBimbo. Great, spirited racing by all! We had a wide diversity of racers on the course this year - ages from 15 to 61, experience levels from beginner to veteran champs, and everyone crossed the finish having done every disclipline, exhausted, and happy. After a quick drive, Trattoria La Festa in Stowe served up loads of family-style italian food while racers and volunteers sat at long tables sharing stories, got massages from Ginger, and cheered for the winners. We're also pleased to say we had our first ever marriage proposal - congrats to Jeremy and Ashley of team Mossabear. Jeremy popped the question at a special flag we hid under the bridge by the finish, and Ashley said yes. Congrats you two!


Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon - Bitter Pill anyone? You know you wanna...




Photos (all 2000+ of them) are online here: http://gmara.smugmug.com/Races/Frigid-Infliction-2010-All. (As usual, you are free to use them any way you see fit, but please give us credit, and if possible link back to the gallery or the race website.) You can also click any of the random photos in the sidebar.



Please, if you have any photos or blogs about the race, send them to us at info at gmara.org, and we'll put them online for everyone. I'll post 'em here when I get them:





Last but not least, our races wouldn't be possible without our sponsors! Please patronize these fine businesses, and tell 'em GMARA sent ya:

Title sponsor MVP Health Care, prize sponsors Outdoor Research, Eastern Mountain Sports, Untamed Adventures, Endurance Aventure, TrailRunner, Zanfel, Catamount Outdoor Family Center, Vermont Forest Parks & Rec, Union Street Media's web hosting, and a huge thanks to our massage therapist Ginger Kipp. Of course, last but definitely not least, without all of our amazing volunteers our races would be possible. They gave up sleep, staffed checkpoints in the middle of nowhere, and kept racers' (and organizers'!) spirits up, all while managing chaos - "thank you" could never be strong enough!




Race on!

-Tim, Chris, Graham, and Jim at GMARA.org
