Once upon a time, a Skimo race day was just that - a day. By creating the ever growing monster, it absorbs more time. I'm certainly not complaining - if I didn't enjoy doing it, I would just stop.

The weather turned during/immediately after Skimo so there was no inclination to head onto the hills. Instead, we drove South and embraced 3 days of running in the wind/rain and mud. Not sure what we will be finished first, the Corbetts or the Allisons.
