Participated in my first ever cross country skiing event.It was my first time on a pair of cross country skis. Rented it from UOM two days before,asked the guy how do i put them on,saw a few youtube videos on how to cross country ski ,practiced on Saturday for 15 mins and i was ready.It was a gorgeous route going on wirth lake,cedar lake,lake of isles and lake calhoun,yes,we are going over the frozen lakes. It was around 5-6 F but it felt more like 100 because of all my exertion and i could have probably skied bare naked as i was feeling so hot towards the end. There was refreshments along the route and it was fun. My time was 1 hour 40 mins to complete 10 K,the official time was 1 hours 54 mins as i was 10 mins late to the 9 AM event as we got lost trying to get in to the place through all the blocked roads.
