Skiing 43:05 [1] 8.63 km (4:59 / km) +120m 4:40 / km
Canadian Masters Champs, Arrowhead. Late minute decision to sign up, partly because of being inspired by Johan Olsson. Lots of snow and track were fast. The tape didn't give me the grip I wanted and klister only was too slow so opted for a combo, a thin layer of violet on top of the tape. In hindsight, I should have stuck to the tape because the course was relatively flat and I would probably have been able to fight my way up the hills. Anyways, I don't know how my glide was compared to others since I was pretty much on my own from the start. I didn't wait as long as Olsson. I felt good throughout the race but got a bit lazy a couple of times in some long double poling sections. Another reason I signed up was to ski head to head with Al and Tarno but organizers put me in a different wave unfortunately, which was disappointing.
