Event: Ski-o Team Fundraiser Sprint
Skate Ski race (Kingdom Valley Trails) 21:33 [4] 3.55 km (6:04 / km)
Sprint race, advanced. Ran unofficially, since Greg and I had set the course. Greg ultimately had the fastest time at 16:10, but he too was unofficial. So the FTD grand prizes went to Adrian at 17:18 and Alex at 19:12.
Skate Ski race 9:25 [4] 1.6 km (5:54 / km)
Short sprint. Greg was also fastest on this one with 6:57, but Scott had the fastest official time at 7:38. Alex was quick at 8:59, but since she already won the long course, the prize went to Pavlina, a couple minutes back.
The cherished fastest finish split of the day prize (FFSD) went to Scott with 16 sec.

Skate Ski race (Craftsbury XC) 1:43:00 [4] *** 19.8 km (5:12 / km)
US Champs Long. Good map contact and route choices. Felt strong on hills; wax okay, but not superior -- HF7 for mid 20's and flurries. Unfortunately, blasted down lake from 5 to 7 and never saw #6 on the map, so DQ.

Skate Ski race (Beaver Brook Farms) 1:02:24 [4] **** 10.6 km (5:53 / km)
US Champs middle red. Good course and grooming on thin cover in places.
Wax good, HF7 for low 20's with single digit overnight.
Took a longer route to #1 to avoid dirt and lost 45 sec. Then missed turns on #6 and #7 for loss of 3 and 9 min respectively. On #7 ended up at the bottom of the hill and ran up a snowshoe trail to the control.
Other legs were okay fast, but disappointed overall. Moving fast enough to get confused.
2nd old guys.

Skate Ski race (Morse Farm) 48:32 [4] 9.0 km (5:24 / km)
Nice sunny day, good wax. Some issues with map, led to loss of 5 min on one control and probably close to that on another.
