XC Ski - Skate 1:01:07 11.06 km (5:32 / km) +154m 5:10 / km
ahr:139 max:154 shoes: '02 Peltonen Skate Skis
Some evening fun by headlamp.
Was dragging at the end of day from sitting at my desk all afternoon - really just wanted to grab a good book and slump on the couch, but dragged myself out the door instead.
One guy out fat-biking by headlamp - other than him had the trails to my self. Solid snowpack. They had the bigger cat out grooming/packing, so it was much less choppy than 2 days ago. Hills were fast, with enough unevenness that I was skittering around corners a bit and getting concerned on a few choppy spots that I would get launched off into the woods.

XC Ski - BackCountry 5:41 0.66 km (8:40 / km)
ahr:118 max:126 shoes: Asnes Mil surplus skis
Had my new back country clunkers - military surplus all-purpose ski. 210 cm, metal edges, waxable base.
Got heavy duty back country NNN bindings mounted on them.
Haven't waxed them yet - just wanted to see how they felt. No kick of course, but seem fine on the groomed stuff.

XC Ski - Skate 32:43 5.39 km (6:04 / km) +50m 5:48 / km
ahr:129 max:146 shoes: '02 Peltonen Skate Skis
Sorta packed conditions on the Cobble loop. Looks like they'd driven the loop numerous times on a snowmobile / mini snowcat, without a drag or roller behind to smooth things out. Only the main loop was done, assuming they're letting the other trails drain/dry out and will pack those before opening day, if the XC trails do officially open this Friday.
Stuff was hard packed, so it will be a nice base unless we get a really warm spell. Just a few rocks kicked up here and there - much better than if they'd had a big cat out there.
Not a lot of cardio effort, but some good balance work and drills on uneven snow.

Run 40:00 [2] 4.0 km (10:00 / km)
shoes: IceBug SISU olx
Soggy evening slog at Weeks Woods. Rain had somewhat turned to snowflakes, but it was still a mess underfoot. Feet got soaked, but snowflakes were falling, which is always cool to run though by headlamp.

Mtn Bike 1:25:50 4.65 km (18:28 / km) +79m 17:01 / km
ahr:117 max:136 shoes: Reid Hercules Green bike
Fat bike on wet snow - part of the trails were boot packed - lots of sliding out on the gentle uphills. Better traction to the sides with the loose wet powder. Took a bit to get the hang of biking in really squirrely conditions. Took one of the really windy trails - a lot of putting my foot down to keep from falling over, rear wheel slipping out to one side or the other. Did better on the gentle downhills than the uphills.
