| What a fun race. The weather was perfect and the new snow didn't seem to slow the tracks too much. I was hoping to avg. 5:00/km actual average was 4:59/km. I felt pretty good through the race. The stretch from OO to Gravel Pit Rd. flew by. I was feeling light after dropping my frozen camelbak.
Kudos to my wax tech. |

| Yeah, the total time was only 10 minutes. I couldn't force myself to stay out longer. I sat by the fire and read my book. There was some excitment though when the high school kid working at the chalet added some logs and KEROSENE to the fire then was surprised when a 5 foot flame shot out of the stove narrowly missing my book and his eyebrows. |

| North End Classic race. The course was excellent. Started on Telemark trails to the North End trails and back to the Korteloppet trail for the final 14km.
I had a tough day. I spent a fair amount of time contemplating the wisdom of skiing 20km late yesterday afternoon. It was a good training day leading up to the Birkie in a couple weeks.
I even made some new friends on the trail. |

| Skiing - Classic 50:00 [3] 7.5 km (6:40 / km) | |
| |
| The conditions at Elm Creek on the the lit loops are great. Jerritt and I planned to ski for a while but given the facts that it was about 10 degrees colder than either of us realized we were a bit under dressed, and Jerritt pulling up lame we called it a night earlier than expected. |

| C • I am not lame 1 |

| Skiing - Classic 1:00:00 [3] 12 km (5:00 / km) | |

| The trails at French Park were really inconsistant...icy, great, and non-existent. The lights were also out on the half of the loop in the woods made it extra tough skiing. It looks like it is back to Elm Creek for me. |

| City of Lakes (Iceskating) Loppet. I was thankful when we got out of Wirth Park the downhills were pretty stressful. Had a few (a couple planned and one unplanned) backcountry experiences shooting through the woods instead of staying on the trail.
Good race. |
