XC Ski (classic) 1:30:00 [2] *** 10.0 km (9:00 / km) +250m 8:00 / km
ahr:140 max:160 spiked:14/14c shoes: Trak Waxless skiis
Setting controls for Ski-trim-O. Blizzard underway, so it was kinda neat. Gunstock didn't open, some BS about letting the snow fall and they'd be open with all trails groomed tomorrow.
Someone (Igor?) had been out with the big snocat packing stuff down earlier, but only with the tracks, no roller, so the center section was untouched. Even with the packing, it was coming down at a good clip, so I was plowing through some pretty heavy deep stuff.
It was a bit above freezing, and the snow was occasionally mixed with freezing rain/sleet/rain. I was pretty much soaked by the time I finished.
My skis are really made for intrack use - too narrow to be of much use off track. Maybe time to go bacl to my roots and get a pair of true cross country skis - wide clunkers that you can go cross country on.
Had to backtrack once, as I was hanging what I thought was the last control, I noticed I still had a flag in my backpack. Checked the number, had to go back about 700M and 3 contours to hang it - had blown right by there twice.
