XC skiing 2:08:40 22.6 mi (5:42 / mi) +430m 5:23 / mi
ahr:162 max:177
Getting my butt kicked by Frederic at Les Bessans. Jeez lousie! Don't know if it was the all-of-the-sudden at altitude, or jet lag, or only having slept 2h on the plane 2 nights before, but when we first started, I was a mess. Tagged along after Frederic for a first lap of 40 min or so, then we stopped so he could change skis, and I felt like I was about to throw up. Ug.
So went inside, had a sit-down, and then felt better and tagged along behind Frederic less eagerly for the rest of the morning.
Les Bessans is goregous, in the Alps, but pretty flat, on a plateau. There are a few good climbs, which Frederic directed us too as soon as he heard I thought it was flat... There's a nice biathlon stadium with a fun 4.3k race loop around.
