Classic Ski race (Craftsbury marathon) 2:56:38 [4] 33.44 km (5:17 / km) +613m 4:50 / km
Good conditions, started at 18F and ended up high 20's or freezing. Snow hard packed powder with bombproof tracks. Used some Strat RF hard wax on top of Swix green and then blue klister. Good kick for entire race. Starting to like my new used skis.
Started dragging a little on the flats for the second lap while double poling, maybe due to the temp rise or the hard cover wax wearing off. May have extended the klister pocket too much, covering 21" from the heel forward. Dropped about 8 min on lap 2, but didn't feel particularly tired, so probably the skis were slower.
Could stride on all the hills except the really steep pitches. Each time I got to a hill I thought about using the outside edge and kept the ski flat (thanks Alex!). Worked well to ensure grip.

Waxed the cheese and moved it to the aging cave.
