Canmore

It is the morning before the pursuit and it's -24 degrees C outside. Tomorrow is supposed to be about 10-15 degrees warmer and we don't race until 12:30 so it won't be too bad. So I've had few cups of coffee watched Sports Centre a few times before I go out to test skis and do some light intervals to warm the body up for tomorrow.

Myself and the crew from APU got to Canmore two days ago after a long long drive. It's usually about a 6 hour drive but we did it in about 8, thanks to some snow that slowed things way down. We were also stuck in traffic 40k from Canmore for an hour while they cleared the road after an accident. Long day.

Yesterday I just tested classic skis and skied easy for an hour which in Canmore means walking around the race trails. They are huge! Big, big climbs that are all skiable thanks to snow that is virtually bulletproof. I don't think natural snow could handle these courses since it would probably break down and get soft. Off to test...
