New warm slow snow. I feel sorry for the people doing the CoL Loppet if the snow is similar to today. I waxed with CH Red last night. In comparison to the two people I was skiing with, I was faster on the downhills (weight comparable). I was keeping up with my buddy on the uphills, who had white wax on, even though he is a much better skier. 2 hours total time away. 20% improvement by cutting out some additional drive time by getting on the trails at the Richardson Nature Center and not stopping to chit chat.

Jogging, stretching and juggling prior to Wednesday night soccer.

I think I will take my GPS next week to see how much distance I log in a game. We lost 1-0 to the team with the worst record.... No subs, so a lot of field time. We were the better team, but could not finish.

My first lunch ski of the year. 2.5 hours desk to desk. Have to work on that time. Hopefully get it down to 2 hours without breaking any traffic laws. Of course my skiing will have to improve. Hyland does a poor job of grooming. I think they just run a snowmobile over the trails... The snow was sloooowww. I judge that by the downhills, not my climbing ability. Perfect day.

Hip didn't bother me skiing. Hopefully it was just a tweak yesterday.

Why is it that the women instructors punish me more in their classes than the male instructors?

Kicked the ball around with Molly. Got some stretching and jogging in.

25 minutes might be on the high side of things. I played a lot early, but tweaked my hip late in the first half. Played two short shifts in the 2nd half, but decided to rest the remainder. Feels fine this AM.

Met Justin and Andei for a ski at Elm Creek. Two times around the long loop. Felt pretty good at the end of the 2nd loop. Could have gone for 1 more, but had items to do at home. Skied the 2nd loop faster than the first, but the third would have been slower....
