Cross-country skiing 1:30:00 [2]
Well it warmed up a bit and Ottawa might get a mega storm tomorrow so figured I should ski tonight. Started with Martin but we managed to not check technique so I skated and he was doing classic. He's doing CSM this weekend, which should be a great event (one of these years I'll do it...)

Cross-country skiing long 1:30:00 [4]
So, that was a thing.
Since I signed up for the Nakkerloppet I figured I should ski it, regardless of the temperature. Well it was around -24 and I got bundled up and headed for Nakkertok. Wore the warm-ups and the vest and actually didn't feel too chilly. Snow was of course mega slow, but had grip, toes a bit cold but body was fine (hand sweating).
The signs for the course were, hmm a bit hit and miss. Went past the first fire in which a couple of guys were there checking off names. I went past and then looped around and came through again. They then said I was in first, which couldn't have been true as someone else was off the front. I kept following signs and made it back. At the finish people were shocked I had arrived so early, well turns out I missed a big loop in the north.
So, no idea how far I skied or anything like that.
