XC Ski race (Black mountain classic) 2:42:43 [3] 31.0 km (5:15 / km)
First 20k were awesome. The conditions were great and the course was beautiful. It was sunny and started warming up pretty quickly. I was racing pretty hard but I think 3 nights of partying hard last week caught up with me over the last 11 k. I started feeling lightheaded and off balance on the up hills. I dropped way back and slowed way down. Lost several places and actually cried at the finish line. I felt terrible and sick but mostly recovered. Tomorrow may be interesting.
