Long ski! I figure I should probably do a lot of these this year, since the racing will be skewed towards many marathons (birkie, great ski race, yellowstone 24) vs little ski-o (tahoe, us champs) this year. Felt good for the first couple hours, but by noon the snow had warmed up and gotten gummy and it started being work.
Also got new boots yesterday, new Rossi skate boots, which I wore today. It did occur to me that a long ski was not the best time to break in new boots, but I survived with only one giant blister under my heel. I think I could probably wear real socks inside these, which might be good since they have less padding then the Fischers.
