Event: Yosemite Nordic 24
10 AM
skate ski 3:15:00 [3] 30.0 km (6:30 / km)
shoes: 09 rossi max 180s
24 hour epic xc ski stupidity, year #2. Somehow I used my cunning wiles to sucker a few more people into it this year, on the assumption that we do it back east instead of in yosemite. sounds fine to me, I mean "back east" has snow too right? ha. so we did laps on the Danby-Mt Tabor road in VT, an occasionally-groomed snowmobile road that was in ok condition at the bottom end, turned to snowmobile slush at the top of the hill, and then petered out to dirt down the back side. Dad and Alex were in for the whole 24, with Ed and Ali making the occasion cameo lap.
lap 1: up the road, over the top, and as far down the other side as we could get before it turned to dirt. warm and slushy, t-shirt weather.

3 PM
skate ski 3:12:00 [3] 28.5 km (6:44 / km)
shoes: mystery mix-n-match
lap 2: up the road, over the top, and then we cut back left along another road for a bit. Alex started on classic, but forgot her wax, so went back to the car to get it but instead picked up the skate skis and Ed. Still warm and slushy and slow even on the way back down.
7 PM
skate ski 2:57:00 [3] 31.5 km (5:37 / km)
shoes: mystery mix-n-match
lap 3: dark now, so we started turning around at the duck pond, 6km out, to avoid the huge dodgy hill that wouldn't be too fun once it iced up. so two laps of that (72:00, 66:00) and then a shorter one (40:00) so we could get back in time to meet rockstar Ed with a batch of chicken soup.

ahr:149 max:167 shoes: 10 atomic red cheetahs
much better conditions in the morning than the other two days this week. iced out and super fast. a little dodgy on the downhills for the first half hour, but after that things softened up just right.

Note
took the car into the shop today, and since the shop is 50 miles away, I had all day to kill waiting around for them to finish. mostly doing things I don't get to do in Truckee. so I walked around Reno for a while, hit a few bookstores, saw Avatar (which is totally sweet), hit REI for a few dozen free dividend GUs, and hit best buy for a not-so-free T2I (which is totally super sweet).

skate ski 1:20:27 19.91 km (4:02 / km)
ahr:142 max:162 shoes: 10 atomic red cheetahs
thought I'd be sneaky and get out wicked early (11am is early for the gainfully unemployed) to beat the heat, but even that wasn't enough. fast in the shade, but the rest already had enough sun to slow it down. though I don't supposed I can complain too much since it is tshirt weather.

skate ski 1:13:50 15.91 km (4:38 / km)
ahr:137 max:156 shoes: 10 atomic red cheetahs
hot this afternoon, so the snow was slow as crap. I think this daylight savings stuff ruined the nice "last hour of the day icyness" conditions, as the last hour of the day is now what used to be the [hotter] second to last hour of the day.
