XC Skiing 3:53:00 [3] 29.7 mi (7:51 / mi)
What a day on the Birkie Trail. My first time skiing the whole thing. Well, the course was not exactly the same as the actual Birkebeiner, but the Birkie Tour ended up being 47k and totally awesome, so it was probably a pretty similar experience. The snow was super fast, which made the effort much easier that what I've heard it can be. Skied with Reed and his dad, friend Duncan, and Biz. We all stayed together and had a ball out there despite the gloomy weather. An awesome first day on the trail.
