BFLO Ski-O at Chestnut Ridge (Green Course). My skiing is still very weak, and even worse is my ability to get my skis back on after I remove them (which I did 5 times and averaged over 1.5 minutes putting them back on). The navigating was pretty straightforward. I did have a 2-minute delay to verify that I was at the right flag when the control code didn't match, and I lost a few minutes when I missed a trail while cutting thru some woods to save time, and wound up going around on the next trail.

I was hating ski-o for the first few controls (had to remove my skis twice on the way to C3, then fell badly shortly after I got them back on), but it was more fun later, as I was able to skate (poorly) on the roads during several legs.

Back to the Zamboni league after missing 3 weeks (the last 2 because I was in Texas and Arizona). I was pathetic during the first drill which was circles, backwards, crossing over. I gave up trying to cross over fairly early on, then was able to roughly keep up.

My line scored twice on our first shift (I picked up the assist on the first goal), and we went on to win 5-3, with an accidental empty-netter (the guy who cleared it did not know it was an empty net).
