One down, Many to go!

It has begun. Last weekend, Bruksvallarna, 15km Skate, very little snow.

I was very happy with my race. The course suited me very nicely, fairly flat with short steep hills. It was like doing a buch of 10-15 seconds sprints uphill and then hammering the flats.
I finished the day in 18th place overall and 2nd Canadian behind Alex. For the first race of my season, I cant ask for anything more, especially since almost all the World Cup skiers were racing at this race due to lack of snow in all of Europe.
