Tomorrow's the 30km skate race- the last race of the Canadian National Championship- and I have a feeling it's going to be a good one! This week I have learned a lot, posted some mediocre results, and am really ready for a race of the more outstanding nature. Long distance races are what I love most, and tomorrow I get a chance to put everything out there for some 90 minutes. After a short cold spell, accompanied by some rain and then some snow, it looks like spring again around here. Today it was 48F at the venue during our race prep workout at 1pm, and the snow was quickly transforming to slush. The forecast for tomorrow is once again for super warm temperatures, and I see a need for serious sunscreen in my future!
Yesterday I took some pictures during the classic sprint where my APU teammates took first and third. I'll post those, along with any other photos I get a chance to take, when I get to a faster internet connection. I sat out the sprint in preparation for the 30km, but all the women on my team qualified for the heats (making the top 30), and both our men raced well, one making the rounds as well.
Hopefully in 24 hours I'll have completed a fast 30km and will have an exciting race report to post. My fingers are crossed for fast skis and a fresh, peppy body... stay tuned!
