XC Ski - Skate 50:54 11.88 km (4:17 / km) +104m 4:06 / km
ahr:140 max:158 shoes: '03 Yellow Fischer Skating
Hard, fast and somewhat sketchy conditions at Gunstock.
Later in the afternoon, temps are dropping a bit, and what had been warm, soft and lumpy, was now cold, hard and lumpy.
Jeff P was rolling into the stadium as I arrived, said Cobble loop was all that was skiable. He'd been doing an out and back - Quiver around to the top of the S curve, then reverse. He had one more to do, so skied with/behind him. Took a bit to get warmed up - uphills were some work.
Down hills were fast, lumpy and exciting.

Run 50:51 5.72 km (8:54 / km) +115m 8:05 / km
ahr:140 max:153 shoes: Arctic Claw 300
Weeks woods figure 8 trail. Good snow cover still, snowshoes were probably warranted, but I'd planned to run, so run I did.
Some short sections of ice, but mostly snow in various stages of softness. Ok when I stayed on the harder boot-packed part. One section had water flowing over and through the snow - it was cold.
Saw some fresh boot tracks but no people.

XC Ski - Skate 31:31 [3] 7.02 km (4:29 / km) +2m 4:29 / km
shoes: Atomic Red Cheetahs
Nice ski at White Farm in Concord. Great snow cover still - varied between solid hard pack and closer to wet and slushy. Only 1 water crossing on the stub trail between the parking lot and the loops.
Wax was still very good for the conditions.
Technique was mostly there - feeling a bit tired from yesterday though.

Blue trail loop from the end of Curtisville Rd. Had my snowshoes, but the couple just getting back in said no need for them.
A few softer spots, particularly on the snowmobile trail, but overall firm enough. Could have used spikes, or studded shoes - realized later I had my old Icebug SISUs in the car. Would have helped with slipping.
