skiing 1:43:00 [2]
Very cold day, maybe on average the coldest I've seen since I've been in Laramie. It was only -15F as late as 10:30 this morning despite it being 100% sunshine. At 5:00 pm, it's -7F. It got a little warmer in between, but I don't think it was much warmer. Cold as a coven of witches, in other words.
It was a real advantage to try to find bits of sunshine on the trails, and be sure to ski through them all. Completely the opposite thing you might do while running on a hot day, where you'd instead be seeking out the bits of shade.
At least the wind wasn't up to jet stream speeds! On a day like today, that would have been bad.
On the way home, 4 antelope sprinted across a very icy Grand Ave. right in front of me. One slipped and fell right in front of a truck (but wasn't hit by the truck, as the truck was stopped to turn), and didn't get back up. It might have had the wind knocked out of it, or it might have broken a leg, poor thing.
