I had fun watching three of my sons race in the Twin Cities Championships today (U12, U10, and U8). Endurance United put on a nicely run race. It's always a bonus if my kids all stay on course and don't get lost. Of my three kids racing, two took top honors in their respective age categories. My five year old didn't quite make the podium. He said, "I fell twenty nine times" and cried the whole way. We all have a day like this once in a while! My 9th grade son raced in a continuous pursuit at Theodore Wirth.
Even though I wasn't able to race today, I did get a very nice ski at Lake Elmo Park Reserve later in the day. I skied on a new pair of classic Atomic skis I bought from Finn Sisu. I'm embarrassed to say it took me over a month to put them at the top of my family's ski waxing priority pile. To prep them I ironed in a thick layer of Fast Wax's fluoro Hot Box wax, let the wax completely cool, then re-ironed them. Next I put on a layer of Fast Wax's fluoro base wax, then one layer of blue. They were really fast! Finn Sisu did a great job fitting me with these skis; they are really fun and kick/glide really nicely.
Hope you all enjoyed the relatively warm weather today.
