Similar to you, I just talked a buddy into showing me a few techniques - namely how to get up a hill. <br /><br />It seems like everytime out I pick up something else; changing poling sides depending on the slope of the terrain, letting the skis do the work, carrying momentum over the tops of hills, etc.<br /><br />Keep up the great work.

It seems like everytime out I pick up something else; changing poling sides depending on the slope of the terrain, letting the skis do the work, carrying momentum over the tops of hills, etc.

Keep up the great work.

That will always make for good conversation! You need to make sure you go to the camp and smoke a couple of the skiers there. That will always make for good conversation!

I'm doing the Mora class (4 events) and the last one is the ski race - minimum I can do to get my classic medal is 35K. Yikes. I need to find some lessons! :) I have to figure out how to cross country ski quick.

I think Fargo is about a three hour drive from here so it is doable. I will look on line to see if I can find more info on the half marathon.<br /><br />Cross country skiing is such a good work out. The last time I went out I think I was in jr. high, but I do remember my thighs were just burning for days after!! Have fun with your son it will be good bonding time for the two of you. Hi Beth,
