First race in the yukon on the coppertown map. Didn't do much of a warm-up which was really dumb. This meant that the large climb to #1 was a shock to the system and didn't set a nice tone for the rest of the course.
The air is so dry here, and I found that I was quite 'wheezy' for much of the race. Similar to what I get early in ski season when I'm not used to the cold dry air. So hopefully this goes away with time. The no-warm-up probably didn't help things.
Found it difficult to get through the green woods. I think I lost considerable time zig-zagging through the dense pines.
Otherwise the course went quite well. Only a few small bobbles. Many of the legs were quite easy though.
