Morning skate ski on the SJAM while Francis ran it. Crusty-fast, and hard on the wax. But there were still some nice, snowy, groomed sections in Kitch Woods and the Remic Greenspace, so I ended up mostly doing loops in those two areas. Beautiful sunny morning (-4C, -8C W/C) along the river. Saw the Buffleheads playing in the rapids!!!
Need to re-hot-wax my skis :(

Good effort ski with Francis from P5 to the Champlain Pkwy, Domaine MK to P6. Then turned back and cut through #7 to the Champers Pkwy and back to P5. Had to wax up ‘warmer’ half way. Skied a bit with Andrew until the Champ Pkwy. Gorgeous sunny day, bit of a wind, but the sun was warm on the bum :)
Saw and chatted with Anne Prendergast in the P5 lot!

Usual stuff: 3x10 calf raises (still on two feet) to finish. LF a bit cranky.
Heads Will Roll playlist :) Free Gloss!!

Briskish neighbourhood walk with Freya. Sunny skies, chilly Westerly wind!

Thorough session with some XBX and yoga thrown in :)
Did 3 sets of double calf raises at the end.

Mark and Anita’s SJAM Ski-O! Did the Short Advanced ski. Very fast-crusty conditions, but fun! Dropped my map several times and lost a lot of time punching, but just did it for fun, so as long as I didn’t mis-punch, I’m happy :) Finished mid-pack. Popping some Immodium before we left home seemed to settle my floopy-gut issues.
Perfect temp, sunny skies, good company and post-race conversations. Missed seeing Tash, but nice seeing Robbie :)
Hot chocolate with little marshmallows.... yummmmmm!!!!

Very slow, easy pace with frequent stops over the first 5 km. Skied with Francis (who was doing classic) from Tunney’s on both the south and north sides. South side was nicer since it was less crowded and the grooming was fresher. I felt really tired and had a low energy situation going on since I woke up, so I took it easy. Did the last 4.5 km at a steady rhythmic pace to get a bit of a nice aerobic cardio session in. Still not feeling my best, and think I might be fighting off a virus of some sort. Snow was a bit thick and slow with the ‘around zero’ temp, but that suited me fine. A significant but manageable westerly wind kept things from getting too hot. Waved to groomer Dave near Westboro beach :)
