2004_03_07_Vasaloppet

Went to Sweden to do the worlds biggest cross-country race called Vasaloppet. The race is 90 km long and you have to use the classic style.
This year it was about 15 000 - 16 000 anticipates. As I haven't done it before I had to start in the last start block (number 10).
The start was an amazing experience with 15 000 skiers ahead of you, incredible is the only word I can think of.
At the start it was -13 degrees and in the end it was +7 which made it difficult to ski as the tracks dissolved.
The winner did it in 3.48 hours and I managed to finish in 9.11 hours.
