XC

We did this morning only some easy shake-off. Maybe only 3 miles, but easier start won't hurt too much. Tomorrow is time for some XC. My last serious XC race is from 2001 or 2003...

After seeing and realizing the strong role of XC running here in the US, it's a real pity that in Finland XC is not a big thing. Even if we have had two XC World Champs, our XC season lasts nowadays for 1-1,5 weeks in the mid-May. For some it starts and ends on that one day in the Nationals. One would think "living close to the woods" would increase the populatiry of XC running but what do you know. Luckily we have been participating in the Nordic and European XC champs now and then. Hence, I hope that tomorrow Finnish team will kick some serious butt in the Nordic XC champs in Denmark.
