x-country skiing race 1:17:00 [4] *** 19.5 km (3:57 / km) +300m 3:40 / km
NA champs 'middle'.. felt more like a long. kind of easy technical, not many 'trail maze' zone- if any, and i went like 85-90% from max. end up with a bronze medal, hard earned i would say, happy and satisfied with result and race, not happy that i am super tired now. over 50k in 2 days at above 2300m altitude and the sprint tomorrow will probably be really painful. almost all teams skipped today's race except few who used it as a lite training, and us North Americans who worked a bit. but life was never easy. not in my books. except being tired , i can not say that i am sick. which is GREAT
