Passing on to a New Season

With today being March 20th, signifying a new season,
I thought to post a note referencing the past 5 yrs of winter fun.
Birkie enlightenment:

2008, (My 1st Birkie, starting from wave 10) - Skate skiing the Birkie is a must do. Downhill speeds are pleasing rest; Main St. powerful elation.

2009, (Wave 3) - Over dressing results in major bonk, guaranteed!

2010, (Wave 3) - Good fitness, appropriate wax and fast track greatly enhances the probability for a fine event.

2011, (Wave 2) - Regardless to how much body heat one generates, sub zero temps require appropriate layering.

2012, (Wave 2) - Having someone ski on and brake your pole at the start leads to being stuck in the crowd and climbing the power lines at conversation pace.

Spring on!

For those not aware this is North America's Cross Country Skate Ski Standard.
Anything other is a wannabe!
