.... that I stopped several times during the race to scrape off the klister on a
tree.

It's easier if the tree (log) is horizontal - less energy expended.

Yea, so what else is new.

I rewaxed 10X in a 20k classic, still got 4th.

I think I had glidewaxed my classics earlier for fun then forgot to sand and
totally wax-solvent the kick area before kickwaxing again. I believe I ironed
in my kick, though. Probably didn't use binder either. I was being WAY too
casual and not thinking. And just kept losing that wax. Talk about a yo-yo race
with passing and being passed, uh, MANY times.
