Note
Clear, sunny and warm today. Perfect sap weather. Put out a half dozen taps, although not sure what I'll do with the sap since I'll be gone all next week. Got to relieve the pressure from the maples so they don't split open.
Snow pack seems to have taken a hit, it's 8" at the stake. It melts down around the stake just like it does around the trees, so there's deeper snow in the woods. All trails have nice cover. Looks like 2" snow/sleet came down on top of the groomed hardpack yesterday.

Stretching 5:00 [0]
Feel okay this morning. Not much energy, but may ski the demo at OO today.
Got an article in the Sawyer Record about me doing both races. They were nice and didn’t say how stupid it was.

10 AM
Skate Ski (Birkie start) 26:00 [3] 3.5 km (7:26 / km)
Out to the start for Demo day, but decided just to go off on our own skis. We had another 6” snow last night. At least this was packed, although soft. Didn’t go far because we were tired of soft snow.

Skate Ski warm up/down 10:00 [1] 0.7 km (14:17 / km)
Skate Ski race (Birkebeiner ) 4:40:00 [3] 50.0 km (5:36 / km)
Well, that was hard.
Usually make it to the high point on top of Fire Tower hill (11 km) and still feel fresh. Today my legs felt tired when we got to the power lines (3 km?). Just no recovery from yesterday.
Also, lots of loose snow just like we had for the first part yesterday. Got warm and stopped for 2 or 3 minutes at OO to take off a fleece vest I started with because of the 5F temp. After that the trail was all good.
Struggling on the climbs, but was able to pick up the pace from OO. Very last part and across the lake it double poling and I passed a bunch of people.
Nice to say I did both the races. Safe bet it’s one time only. Since Greg missed the Korte, he’s still got that for next year.

10 AM
Skate Ski warm up/down 10:00 [1] 1.1 km (9:05 / km)
Around the start area. Groomed nicely, but all broken up and slop. Doesn’t bode well. Skis a little draggy. Using FC8 over HF8, temp 25F.
11 AM
Skate Ski race (Korteloppet ) 2:17:59 [4] 28.9 km (4:46 / km)
shoes: Fischer Speedmax Warm 7
Korte! Started from OO and finished downtown. Got 7-8” snow last night. Packed but not at all consolidated. I was in wave 2 and it was 3-4” of mashed potatoes from OO to Mosquito Brook. Then it firmed up and ran well.
With the slow skating I spent a lot of time descending or double poling in the classic track. Globs and globs of classic skiers piddling along in the tracks and spread out across herringboning up the hills. Got thru the packs pretty neatly.
Wax actually was okay and seemed to move along well when the snow gave it a chance.
Fun ski on the somewhat downhill part of the Birkie course. Much more casual than the Birkie. Started on the front row with no problem getting there.

Skate Ski (North End trails) 1:15:00 [2] 12.34 km (6:05 / km)
Low intensity conversational ski with Tom. Walked into the N End cabin and there was Pepa and the Craftsbury Green Team. Here for the Birkie, of course, which is part of the Super Tour series. Talked about the Olympics and her march into the opening as part of the Bermuda squad, in shorts.
Wrist feels okay. Haven’t stressed it. Will see tomorrow.
