XC Ski race (Black mountain skate) 51:19 [4] 12.0 km (4:17 / km)
Wow. That was a hard race. All hills. I kept thinking shouldn't we have more downhill at some point. Also no flats. I think this was the hardest race I have done. Well, at least for a 10-12k. Won my age group and took 3rd overall for the women. Definitely improved my skate this year. It was very cold and the snow was slow. With the -1 degree temp, I wasn't planning to push excessively but with the slow snow and the hills there was no choice. I was killin it the whole time. Can't believe it was the last ski race of the year. Good times but kind of sad to miss the relays and close of season next weekend.
