classic ski race 47:50 [3] 9.7 km (4:56 / km)
First ski race since 2011 Birkie! Rubbed on a layer of green and called it good. Double poling got me nowhere, and that wasn't only due to lack of strength/technique...cold, slow, snow. Did OK going up the long gradual hills, and finished in plenty of time to change my boots and get a drink before start of the next event : )
skate ski race 1:36:10 [3] 18.7 km (5:09 / km)
Yep, slower in the skate race. And not only b/c I had already skied 10k. I have barely skate skied this year (twice in December and twice last week), and I skied like someone who had just learned how. However, I was the only woman who did both races (there were only about 40 people in the event), so I won a $50 gift certificate : )
