A relay race, at night, with Nicholas from work. The idea was to complete as many loops as possible in half an hour. We registered 6, not great but we'd actually completed 7 but the last didn't count by a few seconds. Brutal.
The short sprint format didn't suit me, more a diesel, with lots of direction changes, climbs and descents. You need to be powerful but light on your feet. Some people were taking it very seriously with lots of crashes and pushing and shoving, and we were just in the "fun" event.
Icy, choppy snow on piste, technical skiing
