A ski at Hoodoo on the way home. Went out with S for a short ski first, then by myself for this longer skate ski. Beautiful mountains all around, it's at the top of Santiam pass. Hard to believe we've never skied here before, but it is still a 2.5h drive from home...

Woo! A ski race! First marathon-ish distance I've done since out here in OR. A 30k at the Meissner trails in Bend. Race directors stuck me in the middle wave, I guess not believing the time I submitted that I'd be up with the leading women. Ah well. There was one guy in my wave that was faster, so skied around him on the flatter first third of the course. My skis didn't have enough kick to keep up once it was hillier. (Need to buy some universal and violet klister, I only had blue and it wasn't enough.)

Super fun. Martin was a great snow baby and Sylvia did some good skiing with me after the race.

Oh, also, came in 2nd woman, but about a full 4 min back. Maybe we'll have a rematch at the Teacup Classic in two weeks...

Some hill repeats in the dusk getting darker, just squeezed into the day. Trying to take training somewhat seriously in trying to be competitive for World Games team, but it's hard with the kiddos in quarantine, hence two 20 min runs counting as my workouts this work week. Next week should be better!

Negative PCRs for Tom, S and M! So M at least is allowed back in school. Helps a lot, even if we still have S on our hands.

Tom got the kids PCR tests by showing up at the mass testing center as soon as it opened yesterday, but no results yet. Squeezed in just a most minimal run with a few intervals to hopefully make it worthwhile! 2 min, 3 min, 2 min, 3 min. Tried to push decently hard, seemed to work!
