Walking 37:24 [1] 1.13 mi (33:05 / mi) +22m 31:12 / mi
Nottingcook DP on packed snowmobile tracks. Drove by a PF in Manchester on my way to meet friends and forgot about it on the way home. Would have been a time saver and interesting comparison with Concord's PF.

Skate skiing 19:07 [3] 1.05 mi (18:12 / mi) +2m 18:06 / mi
Much better than yesterday - smooth surface, decent crust initially. It softened quickly though, esp on the north portion of the track where direct sun was present the longest I'd say. Got quite SOB doing this, even with some stopping.
11 AM
Skate skiing 21:10 [3] 1.03 mi (20:36 / mi) +2m 20:28 / mi
2nd mile - phone got shut off. The surface softened in as little as 20'. At the SE end, the least amount of sun, the surface was still crusty. Interesting to see different depths of ski tracks over the time there. Got too warm in a lightweight pile top. W managed to think that 8 rounds were OK if not really ideal.
5 PM
Walking 36:10 [1] 0.92 mi (39:18 / mi) +15m 37:24 / mi
Afternoon walk at Elm Brook with Beth, on her birthday, & W. Tranquil as can be, red wings speaking of spring. Walked to beach parking which was plowed though the park is closed to traffic. Fine early spring moment.

Event: QOC Royal Romp 2-Day Classic
2 PM
Walking 24:24 [2] 0.8 mi (30:31 / mi) +3m 30:10 / mi
Tried skate in mid-pm (morning was out due to visitors) hoping it might be OK given a cloudy day. There was a soft old groomed surface. Too much work for me, a lot of shuffling, but HFA. It certainly was a white surface, hard to see detail, hard to see W's prints - given the late date and soft surface, I didn't feel guilty re having a dog along.
To have the whatever to be in Prince William Forest Park this weekend - a venue as far back as my memory goes. I was at the DC airport 12 days too early...

Skiing - nos 33:56 [2] 1.27 mi (26:49 / mi) +1m 26:45 / mi
back & forth skate ski at Rollins - good surface at 10:30, supportive enough, soft enough. T shirt before long. Had W with me - a place where one can ski with a dog...a big enough field with scattered footprints of people & dogs. No other ski tracks.

Skiing - nos 1:06:36 [2] 2.23 mi (29:54 / mi) +60m 27:36 / mi
Did some classic on snow mobile trail (maybe half) and snow shoe and hiking boot lumpiness, throw in pine needles and downed small boughs. Beautiful hemlock woods for much of it. Used to do this loop on skis with regularity. Today it was pretty tiring given the surface - tho plenty of snow. The few downhills were more worrisome than I remembered. Got too warm near the end - could have been in a tee shirt for the last ten minutes. Watching the woods change for the 15 or so years I've known them is interesting, maybe a bit sad tho - parts gradually grow unfamiliar.

Snowshoes 1:00:12 [1] 1.57 mi (38:20 / mi) +50m 34:53 / mi
Snow shoe again - chillier, firm enough for W to be able to stay on top most of the time. Out to the contours along Center Brook. Thought about going to the power line, got close but didn't. Back thru more a easterly part of the woods. Tried to pinpoint where we used to set up a tent - pretty sure I got it but gradual veg change makes it increasingly harder.
