I started the morning watching the second stage of the Tour de Ski ... Not to shabby, three skiers in the top 30, including Kikkan Randall who is in sixth. Tomorrow she is the favorite to take the sprint on the third stage. After a few hours in the office I had a great ski on our lake, and after a bit more time in the office, I took my daughter Lucy and her buddy to their first race of the season. Conditions were great as they set the course on the outrun of the 90M ski jump, on man-made snow. A good time was had by all, and I managed a few more kilometers cheering the girls on.
