xc skiing 20:00 [3]
trying out skate skis - after 20 minutes figured I was proficient enough to actually rent skis and do the red course on them.

I was debating between red and green - and took Greg's advice and did the red course minus #7 which was a gratuitous uphill :)
Skating (with plenty of flailing) was really really fun. The ski area (except for #7) was also pretty flat, which helped. I liked the slight downhills :) Skating just feels faster. In some ways, it has a bit of the feel of swimming since form matters so much. Every once in a while I would get a couple of steps that just so much smoother, a tantalizing taste of what it could feel like with better form.
The course was great - there were the wide groomed trails and also lots of skinny, curvy snowplowed trails in between to make route choice interesting.
Kudos to all the organizers for a fun weekend.

tried classic skiing ski-o - first half of the course.
Lessons learned:
- the snow can be really deep
- cutting across between trails can be really really hard and slow (ended up swimming in snow at one point, may have cursed lots :)
- cutting across on a contour over an open field can be really fun
- hard to hold the map in your hand
- sucks when snow clumps on the bottom of the skis if the wax if wrong

After a 20 minute break at the lodge during the 'map exchange' (still on the clock), I felt much happier about life. And less hungry.
The second half was much more fun. Just sorted out the skis a bit more so they were less frustrating, and got into the rhythm of it. I borrowed Greg's or Daddy-O's map holder which made more of a difference than I expected because I didn't have to stop so much.
