Today's race was a 10 km classic for the junior men. The temperatures warmed up and it snowed mostly all day. My race was scheduled to start at 1:50 but was postponed 30 min because of the snow. My plan today was to start out hard and to finish harder. So I got a good warm up and headed out at 2:20. I was happy with my first 5 km, feeling good and trying my best to ski the very hilly course strong. On my second 5 km lap I wasn't able to turn the speed up as much as I was hoping. I caught Lex Treinen who started 30 seconds in front of me at 6 km. I finished in 5th place on the score board and then shortly after got bumped back to finish in 7th place. I was happy with the way my race felt but was a little disappointed by my result.
Sadie opted to drop out of the race because "The field was lacking competition so I decided to drop out and eat tacos."
