Note
So random small-world moment: I wore my ski-o jacket up to the podium (what else? =)), and Elisabeth Coupot, who came in 2nd asked if I orienteered, and said her husband is a coach for the French team. So went down and met him afterwards, and chatted, turns out he knows/also coaches? Emily Kemp! Cool!

XC skiing race 1:57:22 22.95 mi (5:07 / mi) +808m 4:37 / mi
ahr:166 max:179
4éme Marathon de la Clarée
I won! =) Super psyched, because it was quite a good race between me and 2nd for the whole second lap. Photo (scroll down past the guys).
Frederic attempted to explain (too tricky for my French) to the technical delegate at the start that I should be allowed to start in the first line, but no go, so started in the 2nd, but luckily, there aren't many fast women, so no probs to get up to the lead pack. Lead pack started at a leisurely pace with six, I was 6th, but totally comfortable. For whatever reason, lead girl didn't indicate she wanted to switch the lead (tactical to switch, drafting helps) for the first 10k or so, until the bottom of the course, when things all broke up a bit, and heading from Plampinet to the start, ended up as a group of 3 of us in the lead, still perfectly comfy pace.
Then the steeper hill from the finish area at Névache through the forest. Elisabeth and I dropped the 3rd girl at the beginning of the steepness, and I think Elisabeth was actually surprised I kept up. We were now going a pace that was actually tough, but I was happy to hear she was breathing quite hard too. Kept right behind her for the up, then she indicated I should take the lead for a bit. So switched into the lead for the flats on top and the big descent.
Then, she broke away up the hill from Plampinet! More or less just skied away from me. I was kinda bummed, but kept head up and skiing hard. And then, heading into the last 4k bit between the start and finish (we did this bit 3 times, if that makes sense), I could tell I was gaining. Woo! Still not convinced I could take her, but caught her on a down, and then accelerated into the 2nd to last hill, really going for it. Didn't look back, and on the actual last hill, felt like I was going quite slow and that for sure she was right behind me, but no! when I turned around on the downhill following, it was a guy! Awesome. So kept racing racing racing the last 1.5k, not wanting to give any chance for her to catch and ended up in 1st by 42 seconds!!
After the race, got interviewed in French, which I think I did decently with, although I didn't know the french word for rollerskis! Everyone there was pretty surprised, because Elisabeth has been winning most of the French marathons. And then got awarded 250 euros, which is pretty cool too, can cover buying some wax or something.

Skiing at Névache, checking out the marathon loop for tomorrow's race. Because of a lack of snow, they modified the normal course, which climbs the Vallée de la Clarée from the bottom, to a loop just at the top of the valley. As the bottom part of the course mostly just went along a river, this actually made the course have much more climb than the normal version. Was really good to see the course, no scary corners and got the sense that the stiff Q2 skis were definitely the way to go over the super soft skis with a dry cold grind.
Felt much better and kept it easy.

Getting my butt kicked by Frederic at Les Bessans. Jeez lousie! Don't know if it was the all-of-the-sudden at altitude, or jet lag, or only having slept 2h on the plane 2 nights before, but when we first started, I was a mess. Tagged along after Frederic for a first lap of 40 min or so, then we stopped so he could change skis, and I felt like I was about to throw up. Ug.
So went inside, had a sit-down, and then felt better and tagged along behind Frederic less eagerly for the rest of the morning.
Les Bessans is goregous, in the Alps, but pretty flat, on a plateau. There are a few good climbs, which Frederic directed us too as soon as he heard I thought it was flat... There's a nice biathlon stadium with a fun 4.3k race loop around.

Lovely double pole along the bike path with a few inches of fresh stuff on top of the crust. The little bit of fresh made it way more pleasant. Did a series of 2 min intervals, but still hard to work hard on flat with relatively fast snow. On the way back, diverted through a meadow for a bit, was gorgeous. Actually classiced a wee bit then, but will just be logged as dp anyways.
Saw two ladies also out there skiing and chatting, and a few other tracks of skiers. Happy with this winter!

Long ski at Northfield, in a last ditch effort to be prepared for my 42k in France next weekend! Legs/lower back a bit tired from yesterday's race, but not bad.
Beautiful day out. Most of the trails had been groomed, and those were delightful. The few that weren't were sheets of ice. I zigged and zagged all over the mountain, did a bit of double pole only part way through, was definitely getting tired through the end. There isn't much flat out there on the mountain, mostly a V1 fest, but a few trails that cross that you get more transition-y terrain.

Bit of a warm-up chatting with Nance, then a bit on my own as I had more time. Familiar trails!
XC skiing race 28:19 [4]
10k skate at Silver Fox Trot Eastern Cup
Woo, first real ski race of the season! (Maybe will only do 3??) 2nd for the open women's 10k, 32 seconds back from Hannah Dreissigacker, who is training with the Craftsbury Green Team for biathalon. We both had the home course advantage, being at Dartmouth's ski area, Oak Hill. It helps, especially with fast snow.
Anyways, race went well, snow and skis were super fast (thanks CSU!), but I had to pass a million people since I started from an unranked seed. Probably took a few seconds out, but definitely not the 32 to Hannah, so no worries. Skiing is way different than orienteering for the crowd factor. I mean, it's not a super spectator friendly sport, but people were spotted all over the course and they cheer for you, which is really nice!!
I got splits in the big open meadow that I was 10 seconds behind 3rd with 3k to go. Either that person was totally wrong, or I had a strong last 3k/the other gals faded.

Two laps minus S curves of the course. First one real slow with Nance and Ruth, but Ruth and I scampered onto some crust to get out of a racer's way (men's race on at the time) and we both fell through, and then fell, and Ruth really got her face on the crust, no good!
Second lap, skied a bit more continuously on my own.

And finally, post-talk, and after meeting with a handful of undergrads in their new physics-underground-lair (serious!), had a few minutes for abs before dinner with the selection committee.
Now really done, whoop!
How did interview go? I think ok. I think they are worried that I'm so young and don't have tons of experience. But I think my talk was understandable by people outside of the field, hopefully demonstrating I have some capacity to teach and had quite good chats with all of the astronomers, and a fair few physicists. Will know sometime in March.

Bah, not happy yet at all with my talk for my job interview on Friday. A run-through with my group at UMass happened, but it's just not that good. Needs to be big-picture motivated. Full steam again on it tomorrow.
Oh yeah, I did a few minutes of hamstring exercises on the swiss ball and push-ups: 16-15-14- almost to the level (18) where I wouldn't fail the air force test.

And Balsams Ski-O Day 2, Blue Long
Definitely my longest ski-o yet, was tuckering out by the end for sure. Fun times, looking at splits, I messed up 6 pretty bad by deciding to around the top. Didn't look so bad on paper at all. Guess you lose out on some of the going-down contours cause you *have* to snow plow some of "The Wall", so it's less speedy. Ah well.
Also, Robbie's option of going up the Wall on the long leg looks like it was a bunch faster. I cut a switch back, bet you can see in my track where I slow down almost to a standstill as I almost got eaten by the snow. Doubt that it lost tons of time, but still probably a bit silly...
Came in 2nd for M21, behind Robbie by over 10 min, but sneaking in front of Adrian and Scott for 1st American, woo.
Super duper big thanks to Alex, Ed, Ernst, Lex and Pete and anyone and everyone who actually helped picking up controls or in any other way!! Was super great fun!

Warm up heading down and some skiing back and forth and then also includes warm down back up to alpine lodge with Sam, chatting away
Ski-O 58:34 [4]
NE Ski-o Champs @ Balsams, Blue Middle
Decided to enter blue to get more training in, see where I was losing time to the guys. Ended up 3rd behind Adrian and Robbie, not bad!
Skis were fast and think I mostly made good route choices, least happy with 4-5, should have started by turning around. Skiing up the wall was good hard work and then down the yellow, but totally ungroomed field was a blast! Almost fell several times, being jerked forward and backwards as the snow change consistencies. Got distracted by the road for 12-13-14, comparing to Adrian and Alex shows it probably wasn't faster, in either direction.
Another set of scrapes for the ski-o skis acquried at the top before the yellow downhill. Guess that's how it goes, but still not happy- will now be the outside edge.

Trying to warm up in the blustery field!
Ski-O 7:20 [4]
Try 1 at the Balsams Sprint. Some one had gone over the fields with a snowmobile and dragger thing, so map didn't include all of reality. And then most of the dotted tracks made with a snowshoe had totally filled in, so impossible to find. But it was still a sprint, just a different challenge than mapped! First time through went ok, basically just kept track of controls where they were relative to each other because you could see all in the big field.
Ski-O race 6:08 [4]
2nd try at sprint, knew where everything was, just faltered once when I got confused by the presence of 6 heading to 8.

Warm down in the white out! Really could not see anything and snow just stinging face, would have been more of an orienteering challenge in that!!

And last California run! Chillier morning, hands got a bit cold, despite wearing a long underwear top. Ran around rich-person land again, so much nicer without traffic lights every junction. Gates are very in there. Was way psyched that my hammie didn't twinge for the 3rd day running in a row, but then it did later in the day, after lunch, no idea why.

Leg 1 of Long Sprint Relay @ Auburn Ski Club
And team Taco-CSU (me + Cristina) for 2nd!
Wooo! Off to a quick DP start, then a different first route choice to #1 and lost a bit of ground to Mikell. He was then ahead, but not far ahead the rest of the course, and I made up a bit just at the end, passing at the final control before exchange. Hard skiing, not too tricky decisions, but definitely did need to stay in contact with map.

Leg 2. Now alone, and trickier. Quick decision not to go the same way ad Leg 1 right off the start, and then a bunch of kind of in and out controls in a detailed area. After the fun fiddly stuff, had a massive slog up for a control at the top before flying down hill and into the finish to tag off Cristina.
This time 2 seconds down to Mikell, which combined with the first leg, would put us exactly even. But Donatas got both of us by 6-7 seconds in the total....

Sierra ski-o @ Tahoe XC (Burton Creek), Blue course
Was super duper fun! So happy being out and skiing, and even better ski-oing on a lovely day with a detailed course and not yet too melted snow. I think I had a big grin on my face basically the whole race. Definitely felt out of practice reading the map while skiing. Lots of little trail skiing, and cutting directly across was also pretty quick and very open trees, so also did lots of that.
I wore Cristina's head cam for the race, and it shows me holding the map with my right hand most of the times I look at it. Something from doing lots of foot-o I guess, I feel most comfortable map reading when I can hold the darn thing! Have to work on getting better just reading it without hands.
Thanks to Greg for excellent course planning and all others who helped out!
