Skiing (skating) race 2:48:00 [4]
Birkie #3. Great day for skiing! A bit colder in the morning than expected, -15C when the gun went off, but it warmed up very quickly. The skis were good; it looked like most skiers had similar glide and it was a pretty straight forward wax day. The classic skiers may have had some tough time at the end with the quickly changing temperature. It was a fair bit of stop and go in the beginning, especially up the hills but after 5-6K, we were enough spread out. I felt good pretty much the entire way although the legs were starting to get a bit shaky up the last long climb. Overall, I'm happy with the race. It is a nice feeling to feel ok throughout a race as opposed what has happened at the end of all my marathon experiences for example. Skiing is so much nicer!
