Good weather for Keski training.

So, at 8:00 AM, around the start area for the Keskinada, temperatures
were a brisk -32C. Pretty much good training weather. Get used
to what it will probably be like. :-)

JFT, I know that's the kind of weather you love. :-)

Only one day like that now. Balmy -18C tomorrow.

Eek!. I was briefly standing around in -19C weather on Saturday
morning and it was a shock.

Speaking of the Keski has the start location changed this year? I can't
imagine finding a better start venue than the school for the amount of
entries. If it has where is it in relationship to the old start?

Thanks

And it was big enough to jog indoors to warm up....

Perhaps "Mont-Bleu school" is another name for the CEGEP?

Yes and no. The start is pretty much at the same place.

No. There are two schools right next to each other. The CEGEP
was where the gym, showers, awards ceremony, etc was. Next to
the CEGEP was Mont-Bleu (a high school). Mont Bleu was used for
parking when the CEGEP was filled. For the start, we would walk
from the CEGEP, to behind Mont Bleu. The finish was just behind
the CEGEP

The Relais plein air, is the new-ish (year or so old) building
that is right at the start.

While Mont Bleu is smaller than the CEGEP, however, the Keski only
used a small part of the CEGEP. The gym is a bit smaller, but my
guess is that they have the vendor's display stuff in another room.
There will be less walking from gym to awards, caffeteria (also a
bit smaller), etc.
