-5 °C, snowing.
Visiting Lahti Stadium on the way and watching preparations of
Finlandia-Ski Marathon. Nearly 6 000 skiers already left their entries. A lot of competitors were getting their nr bib packages from the race office. InterSport tent full of customers, ski legend and tradesman Juha Mieto on the spot, a vast waxing service area - quite hectic view - 12 manned waxing stands each of 2 ski pairs. Glide waxing 15 eur/pair, glide and kick waxing 25 eur/pair. Enormous but still almost empty restaurant tent, also Suunnistajan Kauppa in it. They'll have a big race tomorrow, let's hope a decent weather.
