| X-C Skiing warm up/down 10:00 [2]2 km (5:00 / km) | |
| X-C Skiing race (Craftsbury Spring Fling) 2:07:05 [4]30 km (4:14 / km) | |
| Low 30's snow/rain overnight. Light rain started half way thru 1st lap, got steady on 2nd lap. Skis very fast first 5km, then okay, then seemed slow on the last 12 km. Was getting tired on the climbs on lap two, not helped by slower skis.
Splits: 10 km 39.39 15 km 21.03 1st half 1:00.42 25 km 44.24 30 km 21.51 2nd half 1:06.23 Surprised the last 5 km was pretty much the same both laps. Thought I lost the time at the very end. Wax: LF7 / HF8 / FC8; structured 0.5 mm yesterday, 1.0 mm when I saw how wet the snow was; then brushed up the fluoro. Analysis: wax was probably okay. Rilling was good until the snow got really soaked, then suction was a problem. Deeper structure in order, but really didn't want to lean on the skis too hard. | ||
| C • 8? its raining, whip out the 10! 3 | ||
| X-C Skiing (Ski-O) 22:00 [3]3 km (7:20 / km) | |
| Adrian set a sample sprint around the center. By the time lunch rolled around, it was really raining and people were getting chilled. Don't think too many gave it a try. I got around half the controls and then the downpour started. Headed back to the car to get out of the wet, cold ski clothes. Fun course, but unfortunately not the right day. | ||

| Warm and slushy. Easy skiing in the sun. | ||
Thursday Mar 6 | ||
| X-C Skiing (Kingdom Valley Trails) 44:00 [3]10.4 km (4:14 / km) | |
| Rained last couple days. Today was clear and sunny, temp up to low 40's. First, tapped a few sugar maples and watched the sap gush out into the jugs.
Then groomed the trails, concerned they snow might be slush. But the 2' snow pack is solid and it groomed nicely. Let it sit for an hour and then got on it as the sun was going down. Suprised the surface had firmed and was very fast. Just one section sloping into the setting sun was slushy. Everthing else was fine. Will be frozen solid tommorrow morning, however. But that's spring conditions. | ||

| Note | |
| Long travel day. Got into Hartford to discover my skis had gone a different route than the other bag I checked. Oversized, they didn't make the first commuter flight. When I arrived in Hartford, I had the standard wait for my regular bag. But the skis, tagged with a "Rush", apparently were sent on a more direct route than my trip via Seattle and Atlanta. Luckily I noticed the skis standing up in the baggage office as I walked by. They had already come in several hours earlier. So this was a case of the airline losing my bag, but getting it delivered before I could catch up. Nice anomaly of baggage service for a change. | ||
Sunday Mar 2 | ||
| X-C Skiing warm up/down (Stake Lake BC) 1:10:00 [3]11 km (6:22 / km) | |
| Warm up around the lake, and then control pickup later. | ||
| X-C Skiing race (Stake Lake BC) 1:31:00 [4]20 km (4:33 / km) | |
| Couple mistakes added about a km to my route. Overshot #10 as one of the side trails was not groomed and I missed counting it as I went by. Picked up the error when the trail started to head down off the hillside. Doubled back at that point. Also had an inefficient route into the finish control cluster; the trails were congested and not clear on the map, so I took a certain but longer route thru the finish and out to #13.
Very thin fresh snow on top of hard frozen granular. Not much, but enough to make the skiing fine. Right around freezing all day. Good pair of races. Well worth the trip out to BC. | ||
