In this race I went controlled up the first hill and then hammered in to the first downhill and eventually got a gap that nobody could close up. I started skiing outside of the track more later in the race which felt faster, but might have cost me a bit of grip. Overall I was satisfied.
Full results.

Westerns 10km skate
It was a beautiful sunny day for the race. The start list looked a little funny and not at all random. The top seed was setup with highest ranking going out first. Which means I started ahead of the others and was chasing the guys with no racing licenses. It was a tough course despite there being no huge uphills. There was a lot of gradual uphill and flatter terrain, with fast, twisty downhills in between. I skied the way I wanted to technically and enjoyed the ski. Results here.

Westerns Skate Sprint
The 1.1k course was all uphill and then a curvy downhill to the finish. Overall a fun course, with one tricky 180 turn on the downhill. It was clear that being first into the narrow section on the uphill was key as there wasn't many good passing opportunities in the second half of the course.
