Gran Traverse Classic ski race. Much warmer than yesterday, which was good. Track was in good condition for the most part. I passed Gussie early on, but I felt her back there behind me somewhere. At about 13K in, I saw Curt on the course and about 30 seconds after I passed him, I heard his cheering pick up. I thought it might be her, so I really focused and kept it going even though I was kind of by myself at this point. It's tough to go fast when you're alone. Good thing I did - I finished about a minute in front of Gussie. Took 2nd in my age group because Natalie D was here from Montana and she won the whole thing. I was also happy to be only 4 minutes behind Ann, who is a great classic skier. Good race!

Wax testing/warm-up before and then cool-down after the the race.

Just got in a quick trainer ride to get my total training time over 2 hours today.
