Have to admit that I escaped the rain for Clearwater beach Florida. Quick outing on beach- sunny, breezy and relatively cool. Oh and barefoot, which I haven't done for years- remembering that it was the only way to race xc back in Perth WA on the inevitably sandy courses.

Very nice Advanced type sprint course set by Alex with map exchange - despite simple terrain plenty of room for errors with directional changes. Felt tired (residual jet lag I suspect) and skis were not optimally waxed for conditions- the secret I am I told is STRUCTURE particularly for warm wet snow- so now have a Toko tool for this purpose. Had fun anyway with about 3:05 of errors.

Beginners course - legs starting to feel fatigue.

Slept reasonably well- briefly awake at 2am- helped not being entirely in other time zone. End of DW3- making progress albeit a little plateau this week.

GB lantern loop - eerie yellow glow from kerosene lanterns but wonderful trail conditions with 3-4" new snow. Transition temps and red LF8 gave nice glide
