Skiing 40:00 [2]
Easy skiing from the Vasaloppet start with Martin. Looks very different with all the snow and countless tracks than it did as the finish area of days 1 and 2 of O-Ringen 2008. Very windy in the start area - slow going. We climbed up to the top of the first hill and then skied back down. Skiing felt ok, but the shin hurt. Lots of people around everywhere, especially at the event center, where I picked up my number (6549) and did the name change. Afternoon was spent waxing and inhaling toxic fumes. Dinner time now - start in 13 hours.
