Mike writes “Chris & I had a 10 K classic race today.  Cloudy with a hint of mist which stopped before the race. Truly spring conditions. Wet & a few icy spots, but also a lot of slush. Tomorrow morning Chris will do 15 k classic on a two 7.5 laps & then I will do a 15 k skate on the same 2 lap 7.5 course in the afternoon.”

“Cloudy with possible rain tomorrow. Having a great time. Friday Chis & I will do a 30k skate.”

Have fun and race well!
