This was my first ever season of XC Ski racing and I have only started skiing in January 2012 and have only had one lesson. All three of these were skate style. I struggled alot this year with the skiing however I learnt alot with my ability just by doing it and competing. I gradually got better and had alot of fun learning. Why did I start racing when I already do MTB XC racing and play ice hockey in a mens league, well I say I wanted to for two reasons instead of doing so much spinning indoors on the bike I love being out doors in the trails breathing in fresh air and also so I could challenge my winter training to make sure I am not slacking off the XC Ski races make my training be consitant and then I can see where my fitness and race ready is at. I met some really great people and really love the sport as it is similar to MTB racing. I raced with Edmonton Nordic Ski Club.
