This year I had planned to do the 53 km skate for the 1st time instead of my usual 25-28km skate race. For the 1st time I had joined a training group associated to Skinouk and I had done a lot skiing by mid January.
So after a fun day of manhunting on Saturday, I competed in the 53k Skate Ski at Keskinada on Sunday...
This was my third Keski and second one on my birthday.
Sunday was my first attempt at the Keskinada...
I was expecting a hard Keski from the reduced amount of skiing due to this seasons poor weather.
This was a year of firsts. The first warm Keski I have been to, the first time that I have skied the 53km, and the first time I have played golf in Sudbury in January about 1 month before the Keski.
Past years have been so cold that the start has been delayed and/or the course shortened/altered to minimize risk of frostbite! What a pleasant change to be skiing in relatively balmy temperatures!
While Karl and Megan have skied from P10 at ~6pm, the XC Ottawa webcam didn't detect snow so the contest is still on! (Sorry Ed & Ken)
