skate ski warm up/down (Mono Race) 40:00 [3] 8.0 km (5:00 / km)
Pre-skied/warm-upped on the Mono race course. Just enough snow, with an icy hard base. The usual sketchy spots got washed out and icy so it was pretty typical tight and tricky Mono conditions but fun. I developed some sort of knot/cramp/painful rib? in my left shoulder blade area which became quit painful all day. It was ok skiing, but not taking a big breath or coughing which kind of go with ski racing. I felt good on my skis but couldn't really go full out.
The high school kids stayed on their feet and got a race under their belts so we were happy.
