I was really excited for my first skimo race, not just for the season but my first ever race.
It started off well, I found myself amongst the top 10 and feeling good. At 500m it was so icy, and I was racing on 59mm skins that had about 150,000Vm in them. This cost me as I had no grip and started to slide back and fell over. This happened again at 800m and cost me 6 minutes. I finished in 52 minutes satisfied with how I felt with my climbing, but frustrated with my skins issues.
A good experience and still a lot to learn in this sport. I hope to come back and better my time in this race, closer to 40 minutes.
