Three Days of Quarantine
Well we’re back in Alaska, ready to race the four races that comprise Senior Nationals this year. The first race was a skate sprint, the second will be a 10K/20K skate, the third will be a 20K/30K classic, and the last will be a classic sprint. The skate sprint went really well for the team, but unfortunately I wasn’t able to partake. Two days before the sprint, at 10:30PM, was when the unrelenting torture started. Torture may sound like an exaggeration, but it definitely is not. I have never had the flu so badly. I will leave out the details for the sake of the reader…but it was not fun. So, the next day wasn’t much better, so I made a trip to the clinic. Four days later I am eating and drinking just fine! I even felt pretty decent on my ski today, so I am crossing my fingers that the race tomorrow (10K skate) will go smoothly! I hope so, especially because it is my favorite race :).
Because of the quarantine that I gave myself for a few days, not much else has happened in Anchorage, AK yet, but it should become much more eventful once I get to start racing.
Here are some photos of the ski trails (Hidden Valley) in Ely that I took a couple weeks before traveling to AK:
