Fastest Birkie yet! Moved up a few spots to 170th man/ 179th overall. Didn’t feel like my skis were very good but I stuck with some solid groups until somewhere between OO and Gravel Pit. Had some time in no mans land but caught some more guys on the steep hills later in the course which gave me a big confidence boost, then promptly lost everybody on the downhills. I’m proud of how hard I kept fighting alone on the lake to finish with a decent PR!
Skis: Salomon carbon universals with Start Green, Swix Marathon, and Swix TSP5
Nutrition: 4 maple syrup packets and 4-500 calories of maple syrup, water, and coffee in my drink belt
