Event: US Ski-O Champs and Team Ranking Event
 

Ski-O champs blue long. Not exactly the greatest snow conditions in the world, although most trails were somewhat skiable... as long as you dodged the rocks and the sticks and the dirt and the 10' bare patches and the 6" puddles of standing water. Quite the epic course too, four maps worth. By the end I'd hit a few trails 6 or 7 times. Worth noting that my time from last week's 53km Tour of AK was only 2.5 minutes longer...

pics from last weekend.

doing well on the plan to do nothing this week. Getting sleep seems like more of a priority than workouts, since I wouldn't be doing hard ones anyway. And even for an easy workout I have to get up wicked early in the morning.

also doing well on the plan to eat a lot. yea 5 meals a day. almost back up to the standard 1.75 Gs.

a little tour around Independence Mine at Hatcher Pass north of Anchorage. good views and lots of snow. groomed a while ago so most parts had a couple inches of fluff on top.

looks like I was 78th (in mens 50k) at the race yesterday (92nd if you include women). daddyo was 167th. They said there were just short of 2000 people between the three distances (25, 40, 50km)

tour of anchorage, AK. 50k skate. or maybe 53km, they're not sure. good race though, mostly downhill =). ok just barely, so its basically flat. I have splits, but they're not off km markers, but the food stops, which I don't know the distances for. will figure those out later.
