The Alaska Vacation

I feel like I'm in a glass case of emotion. We are racing, wait no we aren't, oh wait we are just going to delay it two hours, ok we'll be back then, ok we're back, your delaying it another 30 minutes, so we are or aren't doing heats today, we're not, so a two day sprint then, wait no just move it to tomorrow so 310 skiers can go through the same thing 2 days in a row.

Yeah, skiers are trying to put their game faces on but immediately having to take them off because of the cold temperatures. I feel bad for many of the TD's and volunteers who are getting jerked around more then the skiers.

Turns out there is a huge change of plans: 10k skate tomorrow (differrent from the 15k planned) on the classic course, sprint on Tuesday (weather permitting), and 10k classic on Wednesday (same as before). If it is too cold races will be cancelled completely and I think this year's Scando, Junior World, U23, and World Champs teams will be based off of points and US Ski Team Coaches discretion. Fun Fun...
