10k Classic
I took my second Canadian National title today! With style too, I think it was 44 seconds to second place. Maybe I should become Canadian.
I have to credit my coaches for the good skis today. I put them on and almost didn't ski more than 5 strides because they felt so good. I did feel obliged to ski up a hill on them before declaring them race ready. It was a funny day for skis though... every uphill it took me several strides to figure out how to kick because it was so tricky. So I herring-boned most of the uphills (like every one else) but it seemed like everyone had a super tough time kicking. It was a matter of finding the kick you did have & my skis were good enough that there was kick to find.
