XC Skiing 15:00 [1] 1.0 mi (15:00 / mi)
There are some secret snow caches at Great Brook that are perfect for skiing with the kids. We only had 2 lollypops so mixed in with the 1-2 graders. Andy did awesome with the big kids and everyone had fun even though we were on like 100m of ungroomed snow.
Downhill skiing 30:00 [1]
Double family ski with one of Andy's classmates. So nice for her to have another kid to ski with. Andy liked to be the teacher and was trying to teach parallel turns to her friend on the bunny hill at Bradford.

XC Skiing 2:45:42 [4] 22.98 mi (7:13 / mi)
Craftsbury Marathon
I think everyone had a hard time waxing for this one. My skis weren't kicking much in the tracks and icing outside of the tracks. Lost the lead group on the first uphill, which was a bummer. Stomach felt awful (no idea why) and overheating. Hung in there and had some good double pole sections. Pretty tired out by second lap but made it to the finish. There was definitely a k countdown going on by the end.

Warmup/wax test/cooldown. Stayed at a cute rustic cabin on the trails with Ari and Elena. So nice to have company and not have to drive around race morning.

Tuesday night race
I was being a space case right before the race, and missed getting a spot in the start pen. I ended up in the back row, but the other ladies were there so I figured it was ok. Slick, icy, rutty conditions with a chaotic start and one fall near the front of the field. Made it around that but really got stuck hard behind one guy with very crazy wide form. Took me most of a lap to get around him, and by then everything was strung out and the next group pretty far ahead. I was feeling good so just kept picking people off. Then surprisingly saw Ari on the side of the course yelling "oof" or something like that. Found out later it sounded like a well planned fall. I was getting somewhat closer to one of the lead groups, but didn't have enough distance to make the gap. And luckily held off Ari at the finish line! Gotta barge my way closer to the front of the start line next time, so much passing tired me out.

Note
Not many hours last week but feeling mighty burnt out. I think it was the hassle of birthday planning/shopping all week long plus a surprise stomach bug that led to no sleep Thursday night. Sunday BKL + crazy trampoline park + entertaining guests all day + hilly trainer ride = zombie.
