Vasaloppet - Training day 1 (Thursday 28 Feb)

After a night's pit-stop at Martin's brother in Stockholm we drove up to Salen. We were a bit worried when there were no snow and we only had about 50km to go to the finish line of the race (Mora), but once in Salen there was plenty of snow. We stayed at "Gammelgarden", an old cottage more then 400 years old. A very cosy timber cottage – exactly what Martin and I needed for our race preparations *smile*.

We went out and tried our skis the first day. It felt good to be back in the tracks and with the sun settling behind the mountains we felt prepared for the days to come. Here are some photos from the first day.
