8 AM
Classic Ski race 1:18:13 [3] 25.0 km (19.2 kph)
1st leg of skiathalon. Overall pretty chill pace (skiing in group of 5), and still beat top 25k classic skier by over 3 min
Classic Ski (Exchange Zone) 1:26 [3]
Switched gear and ate gel
Skate Ski race 2:32:38 [3] 25.0 km (9.8 kph)
For almost the first 10k, my legs were pretty sore and unsteady, but it got better after a while. By the end they felt fine, and I was able to drop the one Tech skier I was with by over a minute in the last 5-6k
Note
Total time was 2:32:38
Pretty happy with where I finished (13th). Pretty much everyone (if not all) above me were really good skiers who dropped my group right away, so I don't think I ever had a chance of beating them.
