Nokie ski race. Was supposed to be 31K, funny my Garmin shows less than 28k.
The race was like being in a shaken snow globe the whole time. Lots of fresh snow looked nice, but actually slowed down the skiing speed. Actually a white out for a minute and glasses were getting fogged up and snow covering up made vision difficult for a bit.
The course was excellent and fully covered with no rocks or anything exposed. But they shorten the course and made two extra loops to add distance.
Kinda of tiring since my ski conditioning sucks in Mudville that I live in.
Greenbush received 8 inches of snow last Wednesday, so 90 min drive one way for good skiing will be scheduled next week every other day.
10th in my age group this year, which is way lower than normal. Heart rate does not work good on my wrist while skiing.
But I finished no 19 of 19 Nokies. Next year no 20!

Out to Blueberry ski trail for a light pre race ski. We followed the groomer and had fresh cord till we caught up to the groomer and passed them.
It was nice!!!
