Orienteering race 30:00 [4] ** 2.2 km (13:38 / km) +30m 12:46 / km
First Ski-O! Bottom line- its a lot harder than it looks, especially up there at altitude, wow! Also tried out skate ski version of x-country skiing for the 1st time too. Those poles are way long! My arms felt completely shot. Need to work on my skate technique a lot more--I've done tons of classic x-country skiing, but this skate thing seems to be a whole other animal. Beautiful day, so-so snow conditions, and arrived way too late so had just enough time to go visit 1 control before needing to get back before courses closed. Went out snowshoeing w/ little guy after my visit to 1 control and picked up a couple controls. I'd love to do more Ski-O, if only I lived closer to that kind of snow. But hopefully will at least get some more Ski-O in March.
