Well, we have been in West for just about two weeks, and that means it is racing time. We will be racing a 10km classic for ladies and a 15km classic for guys tomorrow. I am pretty excited to finally be racing, but I am not thrilled with the out and back course. There is not enough snow to race on the normal race courses so we will be racing at about 7,500 feet up on the plateau. The course is, as I said, out 7.5km and back 7.5km on a road that is very gradually downhill on the way out and uphill on the way back. It should be quite interesting, and I am glad I will have the, “Fish factor.” The “Fish factor” is always having fast race skis. Check back later this weekend for an update on how the races went.
Racing Time.
