Training Log Archive: Sudden

Muskokaloppet (35 km). 6th overall. 3.50 behind Al (Brink won in Estonia today so we can call it even).
Part of the course was old style (= single track in deep woods), which I really enjoyed. The course was relativly flat with a lot of double poling, which, again, made things hard for me at the end. It had snowed the night before so people were very reluctant to be in the front the first loop. Ken H did most of it. Sometimes it went slower than yesterday.
I´m happy with the resultat, I didn´t have any expectations - feeling tired from the week´s training, more than to have fun, which I had.
The skis were good (blue extra). Maybe overdid the grip a little bit, but only mariginal I think.

Cool down. But became the perhaps the hardest cool down ever. Made it hardly back to the finish. An old lady I met gave me half her granola bar.

Duntroon. A lot of fesh snow made the conditiions relativly slow but it was still great skiing. A little tired from the previous days' training.
Classic (blue super).
