Trail Running 1:00:00 [1]
H Wds. Worst footing of the winter, just when I'm trying to get my legs ready for foot-o!
Monday Feb 27, 2023 #
Cross Country Skiing 1:30:00 [4]
Skate, van Ho - 3 x 2 km bi loop (Deer Run, over to Perimeter, back to old race loop). 9:30 - 10:00, 2:30 recovery, a HR 146. Fun loop - new snow, slippy and fast but little grooming, -5C.

Cross Country Skiing 2:00:00 [3]
Classic at VIC. Perfect tracks with 1-2" of new snow, perfect wax, perfect day.

Trail Running 1:00:00 [2]
H Wds - quite a workout to get up (and down) hills in 6" of loose snow
Friday Feb 24, 2023 #
Cross Country Skiing 1:45 [3]
Classic from Cascade to van Ho. Still no tracks on bi side so over to xc side, 2 loops of Innerloopen short and back.

Cross Country Skiing 1:45 [3]
Winter is back! Classic from Cascade to van Ho. Bi side not tracked so a loop of the new race loop to the top, cut off at Innerloopen on way back down and back to Cascade.

Indoor Cycling 45:00 [3]
Hand quite sore around last summer's surgery incision site which means I must have aggravated the tendons where they're threaded together -probably from tugging to fit a large needlepoint canvas around a frame too vigorously. So had better take it easy for a few days and rest it. Hopefully it will be better - and there won't be another rupture - by the time more snow arrives next week.

Cross Country Skiing 1:30:00 [2]
Classic at van Ho with David; +2C, sunny, a touch of fresh powder in the tracks. Good chance to compare skin skis (me) with hard wax over klister (David). I had perfect grip and faster glide - he was icing up / not great kick so obviously skins won out, plus I didn't have to mess with klister!

Cross Country Skiing 1:30:00 [3]
Skate from Cascade to van Ho. Typical spring skiing conditions except it's only mid-February, not mid-March. +5C, sunny, slow and mushy in sun, icy and fast in shade, lots of bare spots, downhills very treacherous but at least I could see what was coming up ahead so could prepare to stop dead in the tracks. Van Ho not bad - groomed today so snow pretty loose on bi side, more packed as usual on xc side but soft enough to enjoy though knees were starting to ache after a quick tour of the flats.

Cross Country Skiing 1:30:00 [3]
Skate, VIC. 1-2" new snow covering ice and well groomed. Hard and fast when I started but softer, slower and safer by finish. Could be the last good ski of the season.
Saturday Feb 11, 2023 #
Trail Running 1:00:00 [2]
Easy hike/jog H's Wds. Bad leg held up OK but didn't push it. Could have had a good xc ski with 2" new snow to cover the ice but first A meet in 4 wks so better get the legs in running form.

Trail Running 45:00 [2]
Easy jog in H Wds. Had planned on my usual 60 minute route but old hip abductor injury from last summer started to flare up midway - result of sporadic running over past few weeks - so cut out return trip up the mountain and jogged back to car.
Tuesday Feb 7, 2023 #
Cross Country Skiing 1:30:00 [3]
Skate from Cascade over to bi side at van Ho. +2C when I started but trails still pretty hard and fast; softened up while I was out but still difficult to balance. Not looking good with warm temps arriving for the next 10 days.
Monday Feb 6, 2023 #
Cross Country Skiing 1:30:00 [3]
Skate at van Ho. Temperature had dropped from 0C this morning to -5 when we got out in the early afternoon so conditions were really fast though still safe. Did a couple of loops with David on the bi side and then skated over to pick up controls from the model course on the xc side / new race loops.

Cross Country Skiing 45:00 [1]
Control pickup at the VIC. Just puttered around and only picked up a few around the lodge but gave me a chance to get out on a beautiful day after the horrible cold snap.
