More of a biathlon since the skate leg was cancelled due to poor ice on canal due to thaw, but extra ski leg was added instead: - 500m run (Le mans start) - 3km ski (one lap) - 5km run - 6km ski (two laps) Conditions poor: soft groomed frozen granular (they worked wonders with the lack of snow), but with icy hills and some patches of black ice on the run along Col By bike path. Lots of places you had to dial it back rather than go at full race pace (unless you have nerves of steel). Also you had to avoid others wiping out around you... Good time but took it very easy especially on icy bits, but still managed good time and third in age group 65-69.
