Event: QOC Greenbelt
 

Meet directing. Brrrrrr.

Event: Philadelphia Camp
 

I met Victor Lin on a very cold, but sunny, day at Greenbelt and put out sixteen controls for tomorrow's QOC event. I mixed jogging and walking, and it didn't feel too bad, though I could tell that my right knee is still quite weak and unreliable. I was mostly warm except for the hand that was carrying the metal control stands. On the plus side, the creeks were frozen and easy to cross, and also: I was in the woods with a map, orienteering!

Stationary bike "hills" workout.

Legs and core.

Elliptical, with a few pick-ups thrown in.

Stretching, including trying the famed Couch Stretch.

Bike warmup

Full strength routine at the gym at work.

So it appears that we will skip the Georgia Navigator Cup, since I still can't run much without pain. We are thinking of heading north that weekend instead to ski, and I am looking for suggestions for places to go that aren't insanely far away.

The list so far:
- Lapland Lake, NY (7 hours, usually good snow and good grooming)
- Crystal Lake, PA (3.5 hours, but not much snow currently)
- White Grass, WV (3.5 hours, looks like decent snow, but sometimes questionable grooming)
- Laurel Ridge, PA (3.5 hours, looks like the best snow in the neighborhood at the moment)

What does the AP hive mind recommend (affordable accommodations are a big plus)?

C • XC options 6

Elliptical at the Blairs gym.

Barney and I flew back to DC today, while Alli and Inara stayed in Montana for another week. I started the 2018 training year in the usual way: elliptical at the gym.

C • Happy New Year! 4

Leg raises plus much-needed stretching while watching the Crown on Netflix. Great show! And John Lithgow as Churchill is amazing.
