VT Ski-O: Grafton
Fun course set by the Bermans. Two maps, with some good route choice between the valley bottom and the side of the hill. Snowing like crazy the whole time, and I was freezing for most of the day. Everything was pretty sore today, maybe racing almost every day for the last two+ weeks is starting to wear on me. Finished third to Adrian and Scott.

Ski-O Sprint - Long
Fundraiser sprint event for the ski-o team at Dad's house. I don't suppose my time really counts for too much, since I know all the trails, helped make the course, and hung all the bags. But we were playing for repeat runs anyway, so I suppose I can compete against those. Only looked at the map a couple times, and didn't even realize I went past the map exchange withou flipping the map until three controls later.

Ski-O Sprint Short course
Around the short course, which I definitely didn't know as well as the long one. But I still knew where all the controls were, so I could read ahead a couple legs at a time. Super fun course since it skipped the hills, so the whole thing was at top speed.
3 PM

US Ski-O Long Champs
At Craftsbury. Long and brutal. Snow conditions were good on the main trails, the snowmobiled ones mostly had enough snow, some were just dirty. The course had a couple good long legs with big route choice, and the map had some good features to play around with (lakes, hills, swamps). Fun all around. Started near the front for blue guys, caught up to the two ahead of me early in the first loop, then held off Scott Pleban (started 4 mins back) for the middle part. He had a good route choice on the last long leg and caught me three controls from the end, but then blew it going into the control and I got back ahead of him. Managed to hold him off until the finish, but he sill won by 3 mins. Then me, then Nikolay a minute back.
8 PM

hiking 2:00:00 [2]

shoveling more trails and setting out control stands around dad's house until the wee hours of the night.

Ski-O Champs Middle Blue
Had a very good race, really clean on the navigation, and felt good skiing for most of it. Made one bad route choice mistake that might have cost me 30s, and another for 10s, but the rest was just small hesitations here and there. The course was fun and technical, lots of quick decisions and some fast downhills thrown in for fun. Finished 2nd, 30s behind Adrian, and 30s ahead of Nikolay.

VT ski-o day 1: Morse Farm
Pretty frustrating race because the map was super dodgy: most of the trails weren't quite right, the junctions weren't lined up right, and the obvious features that would have helped figure those out (ie buildings) weren't on the map. At least there was only 1/2 inch of snow so for once I didn't have to worry about sinking too far in. And I managed to get the hr up to 170, maybe from all the bonus oxygen down here?

easy ski around the front yard in VT with Dad by headlamp to loosen up after a full night and day of travelling.
