It's actually closer to 32 miles (31.6) - a road marathon is 26.2. At 38K (23.5 miles) I started feeling like I was slowing quite a bit and my arms were getting heavy. I stopped and switched my skis (you tend to wear the wax off the inside of the ski since that is where you are pushing from), and it had a positive effect on both my glide and my psyche... The boys stayed with grandparents. The group that I went up with stayed about 10 miles outside of Hayward in an up nort "resort". (Golden Rule Resort and Motel)
