This past weekend I participated in my first Birkie. Although the full race is 55 km long, Mama and I did the little tour. We originally were up for 2.5 km but since the weather was kind of warm (-20 at the start line) and a beautiful sunny day we went for 4 km instead.
At the 3km mark my foot was really hurting. By the time we finished 1 hour 49 minutes later the temperature had warmed to -11, I was in good spirits (sort of). We basically skied at the "back of the pack" coming in last but not least as the trail sweeper was behind us. The finish line was filled with people cheering me on while Mama pulled me through to the end.
Post race we discovered a huge blister on the back of my heel.
We had a great time taking photos enroute, take a look maybe we'll see you there next year.
