Well, Mauro is certainly unhappy with his performance last Sunday.  I'm still proud of him.  He complained to me about not being in good shape:  about not spending nearly enough time on the snow due to, well, lack of snow.  Anyway, I was still impressed to see him finish 109th overall for a 70km race in a respectable time of 3:42.   Perhaps Mauro will send us a story and some pictures.  I think he has another world loppet event on his calendar in the next month or so, but I forget where.
 
Bravo Mauro.
 
Cold here in Madison tonight (minus 8 deg F, about minus 20 C), dp
