XC Ski race (skate) 1:00:05 [4] 8.01 mi (7:30 / mi) +1058ft
Frisco Cup #3 fun!! 12k (but 8mi according
to my Garmin) 2/3 on black trails, 1/3 on blue trails. I didn't trip
over myself and fall on any uphills this time. I beat the friendly 72
year old guy who beat me by 20 seconds at the one in December by 3
minutes. That's good. I don't particularly like being geezered by that
much even if said geezer ran a 35min 10k back in the day. I skied behind
someone wearing a purple shirt for pretty much the whole race. They
would pull away on the downhills and I would catch back up on the
uphills. I pulled away for good at ~6.5mi and I think he went on for
another lap to do the 16mi. I thought about doing the 16mi, but realized
I had no way of carrying any water. It took about 2.5mi before my legs
felt un-sore from yesterday's race. I think, for the first time, that I
could not have run the course faster than I skied it at the same effort
level. The soreness starting out and the purple shirt in front of me
helped me pace it comfortably.
