Skate Ski (Craftsbury) 2:06:00 [3] 20.44 km (6:10 / km) +273m 5:47 / km
Thin, hard packed cover. Glad for rock skis. About 3 km rolled. Had UVM doing a time trial, plus Dartmouth and Middlebury teams there, too. So kind of crowded, but worked out okay.
Felt really good doing V1 quick up the hills in the morning, but later on didn't have the snap. Maybe I was tired, or maybe the grass starting to poke thru was killing the glide. Did a bunch of 30 sec drills on one of the back trails: double pole, no pole, single stick. Bumpy hard pack was a challenge for balance as speed picked up on the flats with V2 and V2alt.
Good day, ran into Adrian and Alison getting snow time.
