Wow! What a beautiful day! It was a high of about 45 and it was warm and clear all day. That's good news for hanging out and skiing but not awesome for waxing. Especially since it went from -12˚C when we arrived to +2˚C before we left. It makes for fun kick waxing and Rachel was at it from 8am, when we arrived to 1pm when we finally packed up for the day.
I was also testing madly, trying to find the perfect base wax for the conditions. The glide is not a crucial because even if the skis are slow they can still move but if the kick doesn't work... All bets are off.
It was a great morning and we got to see many of our friends from the East and only had a few people with too much sun. Luckily the worst two were Rachel and Joe, they won't feel good but at least they don't have to try to race tomorrow!
Tonight I'll be skiing the proposed sprint trail with Amy, VP of Cross-Country at 6pm and we'll see how that looks. It should be a grand spectacle with 1000 people out to watch the finals! Luckily it's not a classic sprint though because we won't get a chance to see the course early and that would sure make it tough for a classic race.
I'll try to update the blog once I've skied the course.
More later!
