Cross Training (Shoveling roof) 40:00 [2]

Planned to ski, but got home late and decided to remove some snow off the roof. Still have about 30" up there. With warm temperatures coming have to watch out for ice dams on the north side. Oops, wait, checked the forecast and it's supposed to get back to minus 20F tomorrow night. Guess I can finish later (maybe in June).

Skate Ski (American Birkebeiner race) 4:49:53 [4] 51.0 km (5:41 / km)

Just me and about 6,000 others. Most skated; I went classic for this year. Temp cold as expected; low teens. Felt great right up through the end. Expected to tire, but they had aid stations every 6-7 km with energy drinks and food, so it was easy to keep well-stocked. Ended up 14th in age group classic. ytd 365

Skate Ski (Birkie prep) 38:00 [2] 6.0 km (6:20 / km)

In Hayward, WI for the American Birkebeiner xc ski race. Skied a short section of the middle of the course, by OO Road. Rolling hills. Very warm, ~45F and sloppy. Temp should drop tonight and set everything up. Not much snow -- went from 3' in VT to 3" here.

Skate Ski (Short ski-o champs Red) 53:42 [5] 7.5 km (7:10 / km)

Gunstock, warmer today: plus 1F at start. Trouble getting map into case, lost about a minute. Misread map going to 3rd control, had to backtrack. Lots of route choices; not all of mine were optimum. Again, skated a lot. Next time will change the bindings on my skate skis and use them.

Skate Ski (Cool down) 42:00 [4] 6.0 km (7:00 / km)

Did another circuit while still warm. Worked on skating the up hills.

Fun loop on the Gunstock trails.

Skate Ski (Ski-o Champs Red) 1:26:52 [5] 13.0 km (6:41 / km)

Bretton Woods. Windy and cold. High for the day was about zero F. No mistakes, some confusion on first control, then went well. Felt good to be ski racing again after 25 years. Used classic skis and waxed for kick, but skated about half the course.

Skate Ski (Bretton Woods) 55:00 [2] 5.0 km (11:00 / km)

Loosened up after sittting around for awhile. Picked up controls.

Thursday Feb 13, 2003 #

Skate Ski 59:00 [2] 8.0 km (7:23 / km)

Tracks in field wiped out by blowing snow. New snow helped the tracks in the woods quite a bit. Kind of chilly at 8F. Should get down to 15 below tonight, colder over the weekend.

Monday Feb 10, 2003 #

Skate Ski 55:00 [2] 6.0 km (9:10 / km)

One lap grooming, one lap fast and two short laps in the dark with no headlamp. Snowing gently now; should pick up another 2-4" on top of our 18-28" base.

Couple loops to clear sticks from track and to check out trails for next year.

Skate Ski (Grafton Ponds) 1:00:00 [3] 10.0 km (6:00 / km)

Icy track, too lazy to rewax with klister; had no kick. Worked on skating and double poling.
Apparently Joe was up for an adventure ski-o, but I got there too late to see him and Pavlina.
