It sounds like you had a really good day! I am sure you can work on the things that came up. When is the next competition? Great picture, too.
Went on a local snow shoe that was quite a work out. I really wanted to go x country skiing today, as another 2 day storm is starting tonight, but we had theatre and dinner last night in town, and I needed to sleep in. The place we went to snow shoe has a hill that used to be a small local ski area with a rope tow. We climbed the hill for the first time and then continued with more climbing in rather deep snow. It was only about 3.5 miles, but it took an hour and 20 minutes. The plan for tomorrow is to either get up early and do a quick ski at our local touring center, in the snow, or be brave and drive out to western MA in a storm, and ski there.
