Lahti

We checked out the course in Lahti today. Skate sprints tomorrow. I like having races so close together-- race, travel, day-before, race. The course looks pretty good, very mushy on the uphills though. There's a bridge we go over twice and the snow there was a good 7" deep of sugar today. With the bridge and two 180° corners the course feels like an obstacle course instead of your typical ski race. That's fine by me, I like obstacle courses. On this one I have to remember to lean forward for the hills and corners so I don't get thrown back on my heels and lose momentum by the sudden pitch/directional changes.

Sounds like a great spring-skiing course. Paljon onnea!
