Yesterday me and my wife ran our first ski race. It was the first night ski race in Samara. We ran a 5k distance with 32 other amateurs and came to the finish 25/26th Smile . This is my best result ever — I took my wife to a race! And it was a really good race: starry sky, headlamps all around the woods, steep slope with its end lost in darkness...

The map and some photos.
