Race Race Race

Yesterday was the 10k skate race. It was pretty brutal. The course was very flat, but had NO rest so it was very challenging and definitely favored a certain type of skier. I have a hard time on flat courses as my technique is not as good as many of the top skiers. Overall, it was a pretty average race. I ended up 11th place. today was the 5k Classic. Classic has always been my favorite and I guess things haven't changed this year. The sun was out and the tracks were nice and hard. I skied a very solid race, but still felt like I had some more to give out there so I think the more I race the more of that top fitness I will gain. I ended up 5th place and 2nd american so that was very positive. Now we have a week of some good training before heading to Bozeman for a few more races!
