Back on the Placid Planet

Life is good and the livin' is easy here in Placid. Weather is cold, snow is rather scarce. After getting some much needed rest and catching up on the local gossip, I headed out to Van Ho yesterday to scope out the nordic offerings and do the Tuesday interval workout on the race course.

There's a 3.3km loop on the biathlon side of about 4 inches of firmly packed, well machined white. Loop is not the standard 2.5km race loop but the longer version of the course sometimes used for pursuits and world cup b's. There's one 2.5 minute hill with mostly V-2 able terrain and plenty of transitions that should make the goings more difficult.

Weather is cold now, mid to high teens, with a spicy little forecast calling for some snow late Thursday night and Friday morning:
