| Craftsbury ski marathon (tour). 3 hr drive in slushy to ice conditions to St
Johnsbury motel w/ Beth, Z&M.Another hr to Craftsbury Common this AM. Had rained there last night. 2 hr delay to start time. Energy pretty good, new waxless skis, still sliding, tiring last 3 or so km. Cold fingers for a period, fell only once. More ups & fast downs than I recalled from 2005. Ski pole problems - baskets reversed, points sticking in hard surface & strap frustration. Good to put out some effort for an extended period. Was ahead of Udo for alot of distance. Met Eiwind Rynning, Peaks I, Portland, ME sailing/climbing, can't-sit-still elderly Norwegian. All in all, nice job by sponsors. Beth skied at Craftsbury outdoor center.
150 mi home via 93; did not get 89/91 distance. Ice-encrusted drive w/ stuck car. |
