Eric Packer was the fastest of 78 individual skiers who tackled the AMH Anchorage Cup Race Series' Hickok Duathlon on Sunday at the Hillside Trails.
The race required skiers to ski a 7.5-kilometer classic course before switching skis to skate another 7.5 kilometers. Packer led Tyler Kornfield by just one second after the classic leg, but beat Kornfield by 33 seconds in the skate portion to win in 36 minutes, 13.9 seconds. Lex Treinen was third, eight seconds back of Kornfield.
The women's race was where the real battle played out. Becca Rorabaugh led Chelsea Holmes by 0.7 seconds at the halfway point and the duo remained linked throughout the second half of the race, with Rorabaugh holding on for a 1.6-second victory.
