7:05 AM; Hyland Park Reserve
3.4 °C; Partly cloudy
Got there at 7:00 and the place was already a zoo. Saw Andy U, He was the only guy from our group. Others were Dallas, Rob L and Kevin B. And about every high school from around the metro area seemed to have had some representatives. Mashed potatoes in the small uphills, made me appreciate to be no longer in Wave 5 at the Birkie, that's what it felt like. Overheard one veteran skier talk to his buddy: "Now there is cross country skiing and there is what I call newfangled. I think it's on its way out. What? Yes, skate, you'll see!"
I don't know whether skate skiing is on the way out, but if I ski tomorrow, I will stride.

Climbed stairs, 37 floors at City Center. First down, for a warm-up, then up. The bad thing is the sweating, being bathed in sweat, back at my desk.

Yesterday running in soft snow, today hiking in crusty snow and icy sidewalks. Especially the pedestrian bridge was very slick. Had been thinking about riding my bike tomorrow, definitely not. The weather had turned colder during the day.

Sisu MYR: 6 x 1.65 km at L4/RP
Karl sent me a message this PM to ask if I had seen Margie's email, I had not, did in fact not receive one. Anyway, an additional option today, going to Hyland instead of braking trail at Como or bounding in slush at Battle Creek. Of course I said yes. Traffic on 494 was quite reasonable and we met coach Jake and a number of our friends. We did a 20 minute warm-up, I had a couple of hard falls on my rear end, you forget how snow is kind of slippery and I forget that position on my skis that prevents me from sitting down. But it quickly came back.
After warm-up, the intervals, instead of by time, by laps:
6 x 2 laps at Level 4/Race Pace including the hill
1 recovery lap without the hill in between. I must have pushed the stop button instead of the lap button for one of the intervals, the last one, I believe. Oh well, I certainly know I did six.
Super workout! Fun to be on real snow.
