I was skiing around Asticou and met this gentleman who asked if I was going to do the Keski...
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...
I was expecting a hard Keski from the reduced amount of skiing due to this seasons poor weather.
This was my third Keski and second one on my birthday.
Sunday was my first attempt at the Keskinada...
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!
My race was basically what I refer to as a "character building" experience.
Placing? Who you beat? Who you were close to? Compare to how you did in previous years? How it felt?
