XC-Skiing race 55:26 **** 4.56 mi (12:09 / mi) +126m 11:12 / mi
ahr:115 max:159 spiked:11/12c
Whew, Ski O Middle Distance World Masters and one day US Champs. I finished 7 th in the Masters and first in the US in my new age group M-65.
After yesterday’s disaster I vowed to read the map and take my time.
Without getting our maps back yet, I think it was the 2 nd or 5 th control I messed up. The small made trails used to get controls were thin of snow and about 3-4 times I took my skis off and ran with them. Only once for maybe 100 meters. The small trails were a bit crazy and dangerous at times.
But I hung in there and finished with no broken equipment or bones.

XC-Skiing race 57:00 [5] *** 3.0 km (19:00 / km)
spiked:8/11c
Ski Middle Distance. Well I forgot to get my watch going.
I was doing good until I got lost on no5 after 10-15 minutes I got on track and near the end was messing up again on the small trails. Ended up MP for the meet. Not sure where I missed, but until I talk to someone or the spilts come out I don’t have a clue where I actually missed. We were using air epunch. First time for me with that.
Will update when I learn where I went wrong.

Ski O model event. Need more snow here by a long shot. Model on some skinny trails with little snow. Did I say skinny trails. Need good turning skills and SISU to get through this. Also trying out the new Air punch.

Waterville, New Hamphsire, Nordic center.
JP and I skied there today. Lots of trails, not everything open, spring skiing for sure. Skied up 3.5k trail up hill and the down took only 4 minutes.
It had some super fast sections and some groomed ice in sections, but nothing you could not get through. Very nice going somewhere new to ski.
Heading to Craftsbury tomorrow.
