Wow Yuri privet!!! I am really glad to hear from you!!! And I must tell it is very good level of English! every foreigner could understand you without problems!
Actually all that I already heard from my brother, but let me congratulate you with that success! 9.05 in winter is really cool !!!
And also congrats to Nikita! well done! wireline like I told already is a blue blood of schlumberger, easy money

so would be good for him to work in this product line. I will be in Novosibirsk for a very short time unfortunately - from 16-18 Jan approximately - as I need to go to Houston for training...
By the way I think typing without vocabulary is much better practice! you are really cool! speach is much more important then gramma!! I think we can proceed speaking here!!
For example I also was going to write letter about my last competitions, but I will do it here...
As you probably know from letters, I did 2-3 trainings before to participate in Strezhevoy ski race - season opening - for adults - 5 K race.
In fact I was given 1st number and my codition was not good at all. Before the start I saw many cool skiers with modern skies like Fischer Rossignol etc. So I concluded that victory in current situation is not very possible. I started with quite fast speed (actually I planned not to exaust myself completely but I could not). On a middle point of distance I did realise that number 2 is actually already close to me and there are no chances I could beat him. So I was already tired by that time and only wish I had was to reach a finish line ASAP and hopefully before him. So I did finish without any power, 6 seconds before #2, so I sought I did very bad and I was trully disappointed. I estimated my technique as very poor and my strenght is very low... it was a complete shame.
But as it turned out day after, actually #2 was the only skier who was faster than me, he did 16-20, I did 16-44, which is not bad (although it was plane distance, no hills). But anyways - there is one point for my advantage - I have only bad skies here, tisa, very old ones and I guess I could be at least 40-60 sec faster if I had skies like some others.
So finally I am happy - even will be given a prize (smth like 200 or 250 rbbls)
I feel good now, ready to improve and have trainings.
The only thing I worry about is how not to get sick. I do take medicine each evening (as per procedure of great sportsman K. Vidma)
Next competition here is scheduled on 14-Jan - so I will try to make revanshe!!!
ok, will proceed working, speak to you soon!
