Skate Ski warm up/down (Tahoe XC) 20:00 [2] 1.69 km (11:49 / km) +18m 11:13 / km

Setting out white controls and warming up.

Skate Ski race 54:52 [4] 8.48 km (6:28 / km) +109m 6:05 / km

Ran unofficially to try green course. Came into maze at high school too low and turned further low for big error 4 min. Next control also too low for 30 s lost.

Stopped for a minute on way to 5 to fix code box 51 which was knocked over and had flag lying separately. Since I was unofficial, thought I could spare the time to try and fix it. This was the central control of a butterfly and just got beaten up more later on.

Further along, a couple missed turns in the larger networks of narrow trails and while correcting quickly, still lost 2 min.

Need to tape a compass onto the map holder and use it occasionally.

Skate Ski (Tahoe XC) 23:46 [3] 3.03 km (7:51 / km) +36m 7:24 / km

After another early morning arena setup and prep for today's sprint relays, a chance to watch the intense competition as 2 person teams each completed 3 laps through short but challenging courses. Even at the elite level many World Cup teams stumbled with navigation errors.

Got a chance to try out two of the courses later in the day, towards the end of the open relay competition. Courses certainly were tricky, with lots of choices on the narrow mazes.

Skate Ski 22:47 [3] 2.59 km (8:48 / km) +37m 8:12 / km

Another relay course.

2 PM

Skate Ski 1:47:53 [2] 8.7 km (12:24 / km) +118m 11:37 / km

WCup middle race. Predawn setup of start/finish areas as usual. Distributing gps units to racers later on. Later on up to map exchange to releive workers. Then short search for overtime racer in afternoon, who was just slow.

Picking up controls. Setting out controls for tomorrow. Sprint relay will be awesome: 2 skiers, 3 legs each, lots of narrow trails at a very fast pace.
