Yesterday, Igor Tavella and I skied the entire Tour de Sas loop in preparation for the big race Saturday. While not having any one difficult section, it is, in one push, a bit on the tiring side. I noticed conversation dropped off towards completion, a sure sign of hardship.
Conditions are perfect for a ski rando race and now there are almost 300 participants signed up. This is my first Rando Race in Europe, I am intimidated and excited at the same time. Still not owning a one-piece lycra suit leaves me with a sense of inadequacy and fear for the fashion ‘faux pas’ I may commit. I am sure this will change for the next race.
I carried only what I will carry on race day with the exception of a point and shoot camera and iPhone, for Twittering… A photo gallery is up with snaps documenting our day. I may be a professional photographer, but with a point and shoot, shooting blindly with no viewer, and being “on the move” – this is not a good representation of our work – it is for fun and to share the experience with others.
