Which do you think I can do faster: Classic? or Skate?
If you said skate you are.....**drum roll**...Wrong!
At this weekends Saint Lawrence University Winter Carnival I actually went faster per km doing classic than I did skate. Needless to say I am less than impressed with myself. Why you ask? Because I didn't actually go very fast classic.
Despite that fun fact, I am really happy that I finished my first classic race in 9 years with all my limbs....even though I did fall 100m from the finish (classic skis are too long), I feel like I managed to avoid embarrassing myself too badly, which is pretty much my criteria for a good classic race.
As for the skate race...what skate race? In all seriousness I have never finished a race feeling as beasted as I did after that race. I will say that I enjoyed climbing the van hoe trails without a rifle on my back, but that feeling went away quickly when I hit the 2km mark and realized that there were still 8km to go. I was just happy to finish and put the race behind me.
Race Shout Out: goes out to Gabby who brought the heat in the Skate race finishing 54th.
Right now the team is back at school preparing for the Colby Carnival while I start preparing for World Juniors in biathlon. Looking forward to the Czech Republic, and hoping for some good races!
