Note
I drove a couple hours south to Seward and took one of those cruise tours around the fjords. It was raining and stormy, and for a couple points we were out of the protection of the coastline and the boat was in some pretty big swells. Not really sure how big, but I was on the second story deck and looking up at water.
skate ski 1:20:00 [3] 17.0 km (4:42 / km)
Plane doesn't leave until midnight, everything else in Anchorage closes after dinner, nothing to do but ski! Another couple trails around Kincaid under the lights. I could get used to this. Fresh moose tracks all over the trails.

skate ski 2:00:00 [2] 10.0 km (12:00 / km)
Hatcher Pass, about an hour north of Anchorage.
Its an old mining town up about 3500ft in the mountains, and somebody grooms some trails through the old ghost town and around the snowfields every so often. Not really perfect, there was a few inches of new snow on the trail, but you couldn't complain about the views.

Night ski around Kincaid Park after dinner. This place has more lighted trails than socal has normal trails. Warm, icy and fast.

skate ski race 3:10:10 [4] 50.0 km (3:48 / km)
Tour of Anchorage. Pretty good race. A little tired from last week and felt a bit sluggish from resting the back all week. Back felt ok though which was good. Most of the course was flat and downhill, which was pretty fast but monotonously tiring.
Temps started at 30 and ended at 36. Had on LF8 + BD8, which was ok but seemed a little sluggish at times, maybe that was just my legs. The course goes under/over about 30 bridges and tunnels, most of which were really dirty and slow snow. Most of the trail was in pretty good shape though, except the last hill to the finish which was shredded.
On the big hills between 5-10k everyone was still in a pack, and the trail was only single width so you couldn't pass anyone. So that split was a little slower. Didn't see any distance markers between 25k and 45k, they either didn't put them out or the moose ate them.
18:46 (5k)
26:23 (10k)
12:28 (15k)
17:07 (20k)
18.28 (25k)
76:09 (45k) (ave 19:02 / 5k)
20:47 (50k)
