It was a mass start with all racers starting in one big bundle. By the 3 kilometer mark, he said the field had spread itself out. When the camera and I caught him at the 8 kilometer mark, he was coming through the woods alone.
The few kilometers that I skied were very enjoyable and made me anxious to ski the race next year with him--well to start with him anyway.

wow...good for him !
I'd rather poke my eyes out with tooth picks than do anything like this...but it looks like you both had fun being out !
Looks liek fun! I blogged about my adventures x-country skiing. I think I'm ready to enter next year's race!!
I am exhausted just watching him! LOL... I'm with Beth.
Congrats Charlie. Looks like a nice day in the woods. I've never lived in an area where the snow lasted more than a day or two, or was deep enough to do much more than build a small snowman. I've never skied, snow-shoed, ice skated, or fished through a hole in the ice. I'm depressed. I guess my life is missing that frozen component. I did stand on top of an open pump truck in the freezing rain near Meridian, MS one night. Pappy
This looks like fun. How did Charley do in the race? I tried cross country one winter. Although I was not very good at it, I had a lot of fun. We got snow last night and actually have a very rare snow day from school, Woo hoo!!
