I always thought xc skiing looked like a lot of fun! Years ago, in Northern Ohio, my wife and I wanted to try it, and were on the verge of buying skis. We liked to hike in local parks, and thought xc would let us enjoy the parks year-around. It was late in the Winter, and we decided to wait until the next Winter to buy skis. Just as well-- I got transferred to South Texas the following Spring! Looks like a lot of similarities with running; relying on leg power, and endurance has to be a big factor! Great story!
