XC Ski race (MI Cup Sprints) 40:00 [3] 7.0 km (5:43 / km)
slept:8.5
Distance and time are approximate and include 3 race laps (1k each) and several warm-up laps/skiing back and forth on warm-up track
Format:
1K time trial for seeding
1K Semi-final (since there weren't enough women, they just did a semi-final without the middle heats)
1K final
I took 5th in the time trial. They took the top 3 from the heats, and I took 5th in the final. I was sore and tired from yesterday's 40K race. The warm-up laps were rough, but once they said "GO" things seemed better. I think I'm slowly improving at skate. One of these days, I'll beat the people I'm chasing right now and move on to new targets. I'm getting closer, it seems.
