XC Ski - Skate race 31:00 [4] 7.0 km (4:26 / km) +130m 4:03 / km
shoes: Atomic Red Cheetahs
Paintball biathlon. Not a good ski, and even worse shooting.
OK out of the gate,but legs just felt like rubber on all the uphills. Did pass my 30 sec guy, but 15 second was long gone. Got passed sporadically by a few others.
Major wipeout coming down the swooping hill off Crossbow onto Longbow - caught an inside edge, and had plenty of time to hope there was no one too close behind me. There wasn't so no one got to witness the epicness of the wipe out, bellyflop and slide across the whole trail and over the edge into the soft powder. Lost 30-45 seconds getting myself picked up, turned around and going again, but had no momentum up what is normally a nice gradual hill to V2 up. Passed by 2 followers, one of which I was able to re-pass before the stadium. Shot 0 for 5. A bit better on the next lap, stayed up, but the uphills were not nice. Shot 1 for 5 on the second round. Last lap hurt, was trying too hard and my technique just fell apart.
Could have used the bonus time (subtract 10 seconds for each target hit). 2 guys in front of me in the results, I'd out skied. but they pulled ahead with the bonus time. Slipped from 3d to 4th in age category - sad face...

XC Ski - Skate 1:03:00 12.26 km (5:08 / km) +227m 4:42 / km
ahr:137 max:157 shoes: Atomic Red Cheetahs
Feeling the effects of the ongoing cold - not a lot of energy, runny nose, winded.
Met a guy going up Maple who was gushing about having skied up to the tower on Rowe Ridge, he was skiing well - kicking my ass. Light flicks of his poles, powering up the S curve by the connector, and out of sight.
