I am the only person here that is happy to see some snow today. But there will be no snow angels because it is that wet snow that is not very fun. But inland in places like Borås and Ulricehamn, this is securing ski perfection for the next little while.

But last night I felt sick anyway despite my decision to just not be sick. Tomorrow someone in the group is defending her thesis so that means arriving here early to fix everything plus a dinner and party after. None of this is good for cold virus fighting but it will be fun anyway.

Sunday is UlricehamnsLoppet which will be my first ever ski race. Of course that is making me nervous, especially since I haven't been skiing since my first time there. The course is the 10km I did plus a golf course extension and some of the elljusspår. 40km total which means 2 laps and a clear risk that I may be lapped. Lapped? Nej...that can't happen in a 2 lap race. Or? Hmm...I will make not getting lapped my first goal.
