13 km ski challenge

4 years ago when I started to learn how to do cross country ski, I challenged myself to touch down 3 islands on the frozen lake near our home. I did it with much efforts and many blueblacks resulted from falls. 4 years later today, I conquered the same island I did before, but with less than half the efforts and time. It feels GREAT! Practise makes perfect, persistency and will power make a difference!
