Day Two

Day two of U.S. Nationals concluded today with a 10/15k freestyle race. Conditions were decent and temperatures remained in the 20's. The course was technically tough with long grinding uphills and some quick turns.

My effort today was good enough to put me in the top-10. I felt like I skied strong and consistent the entire way. I learned some good things from this race and I am ready to get after it in the 20k classic race on Wednesday.
