Incredibly disappointed that all of the downhill areas are closed now, but grateful to be able to still get some snow time. Did a relaxed ski with my parents on the Iron Horse, with some skiing by myself, some looping back to them, and some skiing with them. Somehow my dad is able to ski 3 weeks post-broken neck, and he wasn’t all that slow either. Falling would be disastrous, but he was careful.
I’m much less sore after sprint camp than I expected! That’s a good thing, I think. I’m honestly surprised at how well I did this past weekend with how little speed training I’ve been doing. And I was surprised at the relative success of my xc ski 25k race. I guess strength from fire and quick speed/agility from ultimate has been enough to maintain fitness at least. Regardless, it’s time to bring more regular running speed work into my life.
