XC Skiing (Canadian Birkie) 4:23:00 [4] 55.0 km (4:47 / km)
Over an hour faster than last year. I won my age group again and would have held onto 2nd overall place (which I lost by 9/100ths of a second) had I not broken my rib at kilometer 37. I should be impressed with my determination to keep skiing despite that fact that every pole stroke felt like someone was driving a knife into my chest, but mostly I'm pissed off about the 9/100ths of a second.
I got to hang out in an ambulance and now I get a few days of work. If only I can manage this pain!
