Day 5 - Long Distance - Mass Start -15kms Classic

Nationals - Long Distance Classic 15kms
Just a pleasure to race. Minimal grip. Jim gave me a good pep talk before the race about grip and getting out of the track into powder to get "fake grip". He also told me to be like a cat. Good start. Then the pack went. Was in a group with Julia Winter, V. Picard-Jolicoeur and Katherine and some American girl. Then Julia went off and I lots contact with the other three. Had a good first lap. Second was ok. Would have liked to catch Picard-Jolicoeur but she finished well infront of me

Skiied course for tomorrow. Nice course. Different snow types on top of course and on bottom. Good grip.

Day 4 - Freestyle Sprints

SPRINTS - Only made Qualification round. About 6 seconds outta qualifying. Running cool down. Did the downhills really well. The uphill is where I lost all my time.

Training Sprint course. The downhill corner alot of times. Felt confident.

Day 3 - Nationals - 10kms skate individual starts

Well good first uphill. A positive. And then .. the Finn girl passed me not until the end of the first lap and then I stayed behind for a while but could not keep up with her one skating.
Was super excited for today but was dissapointed. oh well sprints

Day 2 - Nationals - 5kms Classic Individual Start

Nationals - Classic Indi start 5kms (2 times 2.5)
Well super hard to wax for. and I had super good glide and did all the downhills super well. The uphills were a different story though. At the top of the first lap I had to stop at the top of the hill and scrape off the snow. Knew that it wasn't going to be a great result but was worse than I thought.

Ski Off Day for Racing
Callaghan Valley - the classic (5km) and the tricky corner several times and then the 3.3 skate course with mal and katherine.
