Edinburgh city race, 6.9 km. Thought the legs might be tired but not too bad at all. Was a bit rubbish technically, though - in fact mostly just lazy, not reading control descriptions and going to the wrong side of the wall etc. And lost a chunk of time by reading ahead and happily sailing off to #9, then realising I had to go back for #8. So, a few mins of mistakes, but really enjoyed it.

Lift skiing.

Same as Tuesday, about 25km. Getting into the rhythm of it again, so quite happy compared to Tues. Much smoother and glidier. Still rubbish on the hills though.

Lift skiing in the sunshine.

Skating back and forth between Meribel and Courcheval and some loops around. About 25km? I think the Hoodoo pass on my pole was the last time the skis saw snow ... 2005!! Started off flailing around, but got a bit better by the end. Still having to stop and gasp air half way up every hill though. Certainly good training!

Lift skiing. Snowing lightly and whiteout. Went high to try and escape it, but it was wild. came down low and it was pea soup. Still a good hard day, though.
