Cross Skiing race 37:30 [4] *** 6.9 km (5:26 / km) 12c
Kaunas champs in marked-route distance. Kačerginė. -2C
Quite good-known forest so looked at the map just once. Also managed to do 4 loops of mistakes. One loop took about 50-55" extra skiing.
Like this kind of orienteering. Surprisingly good result: overtook very strong ski-sportsmen like Rolis, Petras and Regis.

Snaigė. Margava (near cementery). -6C. 100% classic
2xloops with Old VISU skis

2xloops with racing skis Fischer RCS
Laps: 32'xx"; 27'30"; 24'30"; 22'40" (some young guy was catching me up-hill)
With tee-and-talk-around-brake in between.
Couldn't find right kick-wax or kick-zone still. A little bit better then one week ago but still far from good preparation.

8' running for warm-up and 8' running for cool-down
73' skiing. Great conditions: -2C, some 4-5cm of fresh snow on the ice. Felt some problems with classic - too tired after weekend. Also had problems with tempo - couldn't to keep speed for more then 40-60sec. Tried to do something like tempo: 900m x skate double-polling (3:27 with fall-down); 900m x skate (3:08); 900m x classic (4:01). With 900m easy skating in between.
