The first race of Nationals is coming up this afternoon so I'm killing some time in the hotel while the snow is blowing sideways outside... Yesterday they were calling for up to 10 inches of snow but we lucked out and got maybe 1 or 2.
So far the trip has been pretty smooth other than sleeping on Alaska time (4 hours earlier) until last night. I've had a few light pace workouts, one yesterday and the other Friday around the course just to get a feel for how it skis. Also I've been testing out skate skis with Frode which has been good but odd. I have some very good skis, but what is running the fastest always seems to be changing even though the weather until last night has been pretty stable and some grinds that you would not expect to be even close among the best. But with the new snow overnight and coming thru the day conditions will be totally different than anything we have seen this week. Which means that we get about twice as many skis ready for today than we usually do.
Annie is here and will be taking some pictures at the race so there should be some up later.
