Day 42 - Thursday Mar 13 - Ice, Wind, Snow, and Training


Jer and Dan picked me up at 5:00 this morning. We then made our way up to Grizzly for one last chance to prepare for the race. The problem was that we were still leaving way too early. We had to wait about 30 minutes for enough light to ski on top of the ridge. This was not exactly the most pleasant thing since at about this time the wind really started to pick up and the snow storm followed. Jer was out on his new race setup and he was looking good. His transitions were much faster today than on Tuesday morning. The skiing was acceptable - nothing great. On the second lap you could really see the accumulating snow which will make for some great upcoming skiing. The race may even be mid-storm. We shall see. This morning served its purpose. We skinned a little easier than Tuesday but focused on fast transitions, solid climbing, and a strong ski out. Now we look forward to the race. On ski.
