Sunday Feb 5 - Spent the morning at Nakkertok watching the Eastern Canadian XC ski Championships. A very warm day(+1 - +5C) - reminiscient of April not Feb. - but the rains held off and the racing was good. None of the truly top flite Canadian XC athletes were here today - they have some races coming up in Italy I think ;-) - but the ones that were here looked pretty swift. A tough little course that had a couple of big climbs and some slushy, but fast, descents. Typical race course that was serpentine through the woods. Allowed me to walk around the course and see skiers at many different points along the way. Over 500 skiers took part in a variety of age group races. Here, the McCarthy brothers (Tom and Ed) push up one of the big climbs of the day - a family namesake.
