XC skiing warm up/down 12:00 [1]
4-5 loops around the warm up loop? Actually felt warm by the end, which I suppose is the point!
Ski-O race 45:34 [4]
Middle Distance at Beaver Brook Farm
Lotsa fun. There are times that are so fast paced, decisions every junction and then other times you are really just skiing hard for quite a bit, going for it.
I had one bad mistake, on number 3. Took a left too early (having misinterpreted snowmobile trail) and then went into the woods on the wrong little trail, found a control I was convinced should be mine, but wasn't, and then continued on for a bit, being confused, passed my #4, still confused and went the wrong way, then found myself at a junction and actually relocated and went back, finally finding the control. 5 minutes extra. Whoops.
Some other fumbles, but not bad. Lost 30 sec going to 10 before 9.
Really did enjoy it. Wish there were more races besides tomorrow left in the season!
Map holder was much better today, but think I have to get used to it. When I really wanted to see the map I held it with my right hand, like I normally do with foot orienteering.
So many thanks to everyone who made it happen!
