XC Skiing race 5:02:00 [5] 55.0 km (5:29 / km)
The Birkie! Amazing conditions this year. +2C to +5C. Thank god for Klister. Wax was great until about 40km mark. Tried to keep going but by 43km mark figured I was going slower by sliding backwards on anything remotely up hill. So had to stop & rewax which sucked cause all the people I worked on passing passed me back. Rewaxing did little to help anyhow. Need more layers next year. Ended up 3rd in my age group and dropped 1.5 hr off my time from last year!!
