Note
back to VT then Boston last night, then got killed at Boggle by Alex and Ross, then fell asleep on the floor for half the night before I made it onto the couch. Chinese with Alex on monday, a little wandering around downtown Boston, then an incredibly uncomfortable 7 hours of twitchy sore plane time back to Sacramento, two hour drive back up to Truckee, and finally nap time by 3am.
So the 24h was good, didn't really seem as hard as last year, possibly because: I knew what to expect, or trail conditions were worse so we couldn't really ski fast (178km vs 206 last year), or it wasn't at 7000 feet, or I've perfected the ratio of Awesome Juice, or I had two other awesomely stupid people to keep it interesting. I'm a little stiff and sore, but nothing too bad, the only things that really hurt are some good bruises from a few nighttime falls on the ice. I remember feeling much colder at night last year, especially between laps, I think that was because it was snowing off and on and a bit windy so I was wet the whole time. I suppose changing clothes could fix that if I ever get more than one set of polypro. Also I need a real headlamp, or at least new batteries. Much fun though.
