Skiing - Classic 23:35 [3] 7.5 km (3:09 / km)
BC Cup #1 Interval Start Classic.
I raced fairly well, but didn't have the mental power the second time up rollercoaster and herringboned more than I needed to. This is probably what caused the 30second time difference between first and second laps which I'm not overly happy about.
I really felt the lack of fitness (particularly strength training for double pole across the flats) at the moment, but it was a vast improvement over the NORAM in Sovereign, so just need to keep things moving in that direction.
Loppet next week, then I need to start doing a lot more running for sprint camp. Running might actually start this week since I can't make weeknight ski practices with the lab schedule.

Skiing - Skate race 8:00 [5] 3.0 km (2:40 / km)
BC Cup #1
Sprint Free - 1000m.
First race on the sprint courses (which I did a fair chunk of designing). I think most people liked it.
Lots of fun, didn't have too many expectations coming in, but somehow qualified first! Felt awful after the qualifier and only had about 35-40 minutes until the semis (no quarters - only 13 people).
In the semi I had a good plan - save energy. I knew the top 3 advanced, and executed to perfection. Came third.
In the final, I had a decent start, but got out maneuvered coming into the first big hill, and had to go around on the outside. Passed three people on the downhill/coming over the top, and promptly blew it on the final downhill corner leading into the final uphill. Came too far outside, didn't free skate, and got passed by all three up the hill. Finished fourth, but first in YOB.

First day of classes and felling tired, so decided to rest up for the bc cup. Not used to the high volume weeks that I put in over Christmas, but they were awesome!

Skiing - Skate 1:55:00 [1] 23.1 km (4:59 / km)
Easy skate ski up the road to the north hub, Larch lake loop, whoopee loops, panorama, baby moonwalk, reino's run, out the long south loop and back on sunshine. Did the 1km sprint loop to finish up, but it wasn't groomed so didn't do it again.
