Ski warm up/down 18:30 [1] 2.8 mi (6:36 / mi) +75m 6:06 / mi
Out around the 11 on classic skis. Wax kicking well. Cold, but not brutal. Not sure how I'm feeling to race, but there's a race, so …
Forgot to start the watch, but I skied the 11 twice again, and I can divide by two (and the watch reminded me I hadn't started, and I know how long that takes).

Ski race 27:16 [4] 5.5 mi (4:57 / mi) +150m 4:34 / mi
Time trial! Put the skis out with a nice transition zone this year, and then I jumped in. About 15th back, but I had good kick on the hill. I had to yell "if you can't kick the track hop out" and kicked up the whole hill, in about fifth place at the top. I stuck with the pack, almost, across the rollers, then shot down the hill. Came in to the stadium with Jimmy, and left ahead of him, having pointed my skis out: easier to turn around without skis on.
Didn't have much oomph up the hill and Jimmy and a Ford Sayre kid but stuck with them on the downhill. Jimmy let me pass on the last rollers and I knew he'd draft me so I pushed the pace as best I could and held him off at the sprint, although he says he wasn't up for sprinting. 8th overall, 1m ahead of Rob, Andy and Alex, so not bad!

Ski 36:03 [1] 5.8 mi (6:13 / mi) +79m 5:58 / mi
Strava isn't finding the hills along the river. I'd care, but I'm over 100km, so I'm not going to Garmin to compare. Very nice ski down the river, now officially open. One ice dam do navigate the ice from, otherwise fine. So, so beautiful.

Ski 1:23:54 [1] 11.2 mi (7:29 / mi) +309m 6:54 / mi
Out to ski with Kathy and Alex. They were skating at a different pace, so I went ahead. I looped up to the 11/12 intersection and came down and saw them, so I figured I'd go down, go back, find them again, and then ski out with them.
So I did, but I didn't see them. Now I thought that maybe they went across the river (closed, but they're not always rule-followers; they skied yesterday on the trail by the river when it was "closed") so I figured I'd have to sprint to make it back. 4:38 mile including the big climb, a bit of L3, some big double poles and I got to the car just in time to find them not back yet.
So, moar skiing! Slow this time. Found them trailed them down the hill, switching skis to get more wax off on the last down.
