Event: HO HO-O Ski-O at Lake Placid
11 AM
Skate Ski race (Mt Van Hoevenberg) 1:51:52 [4] 16.24 km (6:53 / km) +316m 6:17 / km
shoes: Fischer RCS 2
SkiO at Mt VanHo. Long course that first covered the biathlon side trails and then crossed back and bounced around the Ladies 5k loop. Then back over the road for a couple more controls and back to finish in the stadium.
Good course that required a lot of focus on keeping track of the junctions and one-way trails. Snow was very cold at 3F and slow. Quite a bit of climb. Made a weak route choice to 14 that added extra 20m climb.
Some short snowshoe trails, but these didn't have much cover so the course setters wisely kept us from trashing our skis too much. The main trails are just getting full cover and are early-season lumpy.
Thanks to David and Janet, Phil and Susan for the race and EMPO's skiO program!
