Saturday was my first race of the season. It snowed a couple of inches overnight, temperatures were warm and humidity was high. The course packed in some places and not in others. It was squirrely and I felt uncomfortable on my skis. With some speed training I should be able to fix this. It was fun to go hard again and it was nice to feel the sprint-race-lung-burn again. I just barely qualified and finished 29th overall. I can do better.
