Right away at 9 o'clock the enitre gang went up cedar to the summit...and then easy down the Bronze. about halfway down the bronze at the caution hill boyles and i were ahead of everyone else and we saw a wolf run across the trail about 30 feet in front of us! so i almost was eaten alive by a wolf while skiing...but i growled at it and it got scared of me and ran away lol...but seriously i was almost eaten...
Classic Ski45:00 5.0 km (9:00 / km)
Went and skied the classic course with the anoka guys. broke the course up into 5 different sections and before we started an interval i talked to the guys about what to expect, how thard to go and what technique you should be using. they are probably going to be in a tight race with andover on friday so every little bit of info helps.
Skate Ski45:00 [3] 10.0 km (4:30 / km)
Did the 10 km silver after about 1hr 30 min of rest and lunch
Skate Ski intervals 45:00 5.0 km (9:00 / km)
broke up the skate course into 6 sections and basically did the same as i did in the classic part...told them what to do and stuff...only worked hard on the uphill sections. we did a special sprint to the finish where the slowest guy was infront adn fastest in back and you had to pass the slower guys in order to win...i think that i got 2nd by an inch cause miles gave keegan way too much of a head start.

Skate Ski1:00:00 [2] 15.0 km (4:00 / km) rhr:42
got up to the ridge at about 8 oclock with the anoka team...all the kids went up and down the summit in the dark skiing while tremaine and peters set up dinner...entering the stadium and the way back you could smell the pork tenderloin from 300 meters away :)...it was soooooo good...snow was crazy fast!
Skate Ski (Trollhaugen) 1:15:00 [2] 17.5 km (4:17 / km)
between races at troll....conditions were pretty shitty, sugar on top and ice on bottom, some of the corners were absolutely horrible. would have been nice to race but that wasnt my choice. Anoka won for the guys...its amazing because they have been working for this race for almost 4 years, and they come out and win it. Volk won for individual but blake was just behind, he has improved so much this year...both should have gotten disqualified though because they both cut on the inside of the cones on one corner close to the finish.

Skate Ski (Elm Creek) 1:20:00 [3] 20.0 km (4:00 / km) rhr:43
SOmewhat of a harder pace but not a threshold...tested out the new WSB hippies...they were absolutely amazing...all i could hear the entire ski was people complaining the snow was sooo slow because it was wet...but these new skis made it so nice to ski through that snow!
I think we are expecting an 80 degree drop in wind temp. from this afternoon to tonight! about 45 w/no wind in afternoon...and forcasting -35 windchill for tonight...this is all in farenheit cause i dont know how to do conversions very well...
