Saturday morning we had a 10km classical race and the men raced 15km. This was a new course for me since they had a new cut-off groomed to make laps, so I skied it before the race. It was, um, easy. And this isn't just me saying this, everyone else I talked too said the same thing. There was one hill at the start but we only had to ski it once, and the rest of the course was just rolling. It snowed the day before, but stopped so that they could groom it and let the tracks set up over night so the tracks were firm and consistent. The wax was perfect. It was sunny and cold. Basically, it couldn't have been an easier race day.

My plan was to start off easy and then pick it up, but I didn't execute it correctly since at the top of the first hill where I went by Fish, I was leading the race. Fish was pretty excited because at that point, I was leading and Compton was in second. Then I slowed down. At one point I got really really cold and my limbs did not want to move, but then I warmed up again. I think there was a higher moisture content then we've had here so far that I didn't factor in when I got dressed. I ended up 6th & Compton was 2nd. Our boys also did really well with Garrott Kuzzy in 3rd and Andre Watt in 13th. It's fun to see my teammates up there in the results, beating out some big names.

Compton's great results this weekend put her into the lead for the overall SuperTour standings... and I'm actually in second! Which means that she gets to wear the leader's bib in the next race. (I had to wear it for the classic race.) Now we will continue training in West Yellowstone until Thursday when we drive up to Bozeman.
