They are also planning to run some rollerski races on 28th March in Hillingdon – watch the rollerski.co.uk website for more details.
Here’s the link to Bruksvallana results for 2009. Interpretation of Swedish is pretty basic here but it looks like Fiona Hughes took 1st place in the 19-20 Women’s group! Andrew Young came 5th (beating all the Swedes at the competition but one), Callumn Smith 12th and William Newman 33rd out of a field of 50 finishers.
In the women’s over 21 years competition, which was won by Charlotte Kalla in 22:16, Posy Musgrave took 42nd place 3:41 slower than Kalla, Sarah Young took 52nd place 4:26 off the pace. 66 racers completed the race.

Keep an eye for the results next weekend at Beitostoelen.
Eagle eyed visitors to the ski centre today will have noticed members of the BritNordic Ski team trying out their new strips for the 2009/2010 season. The strip this year is sponsored by Trimtex the Norwegian sportswear manufacturer based in Lillesand. Hopefully they will receive lots of positive publicity from our team members this year!
