Event: OCIN 25th Anniversary / Flying Pig XIII / Relay Champs
 

Warm-up and cool-down. Took time to do a proper warm-up.

Middle distance Pig. Ravine and ridge, with a section very detailed control picking in some small depressions. Ran well and focused, nothing but maybe 30 seconds total lost on mistakes. 1:16 behind Jon, could not have run that time without better running shape. Fun, fun stuff!

Friday Middle Blue - Splits

Doing ski runs around the Brew Hut and skinning back up the hills.

Dead tired legs tonight...

Telemark ski trip up to Mount Brew. Physically and mentally tough slog up the mountain. Andrea's rented boots hurt her feet badly and we switched. Lucky I have small feet! Higher up the mountain the snow was wet in the intense sunshine and stuck to our skins in 5 pound clumps. At this time we had also run out of water to drink... We considered turning around just when the trip was saved by a group of skiers going down the mountain that had some wax. This stopped the snow from sticking to the skis. The whole trek took us almost 8 hours of hard work. Fantastic terrain around the hut for beginner downhill skiing. Logging part of the uphill effort.

Training and match play with the "elite" group. The play felt a bit odd this time, not so good flow and a bit lazy play from some players. Mostly played defense and it was less intense than previously.
