BIKING 1:30:00 [4] 12.0 km (7:30 / km) +350m 6:33 / km

STUPIDLY WINDY!
Tried to cycle up mam tor and along rushup. Ended up getting stopped by the mountain rescue on the broken road as someone got blown off and badly injured. we had to let through a few landrovers to help the lad. Decided to push up to Hollins cross instead and do a triangle into edale and back up to holins. route down was mad and i couldnt steer as I have got a crap bike.
The wind was mental. We basically were going backwards up to speedwell cavern and it was the hardest thing ever

shoes: Hardrocks

Back and legs - knackered from the weekend of skiing - muscles i never knew existed!

Sunday Jan 20, 2008 #

XC SKIING (Säfsen) 15:00 [3]

VERY ICY CONDITIONS...
We were both quite scared about skiing in the morning and it showed in our confidence... We started off OK on the first track, but as the tracks began to weave and we weren't that great at manovering the skiis we were getting rubbish.

Then came the downhill part. Lizzie decided to go fast ahead of me and then lost control and fell, smashed her chest, blacked out twice while I fell to avoid hitting her, and kept her in consciousness for a bit. After about 10mins on the floor in the freezing cold we decided to walk back. Horror on VSOK faces when we told them. and.... not even a bruise to show for it - although possible cracked ribs! Woohoo! Skiing is FUN!

OTHER 25:00 [3] 2.0 km (12:30 / km)

Walked back in the snow - bloody hard work keeping on going as Lizzie wasn't with it and skiis are stupid to carry in your hands...

CONDITIONING 10:00 [1]

More back and legs after the pain started to flow after the XC

Note

Don't go too fast on the ice.
Säfsen Hotel has amazing showers.
Red Bull is awesome for 3am driving.

XC SKIING (Säfsen) 55:00 [4]

With a huge lack of snow we were worried that we might have to run all weekend... thankfully one XC course was open and it had a mild covering of snow on it (15cm maybe..) It was only 7.5km in length but long enough for us to get on with it.
Easier than we first had thought being our first time XC skiing...Me and Lizzie were keeping up with Sofia quite well I think (although she could probably faster!) There was no chance in hell we could keep up with Jonathan, Sofi, Håkan, Rickard... or actually anyone for that matter!!
Quality session and 1st loop complete!

XC SKIING (Säfsen) 45:00 [4]

Second loop in the morning - probably did about 3/4 of it with lots of photo taking... SO GOOD!

XC SKIING (Säfsen) 1:30:00 [4]

Last loop of the day and it STARTED TO SNOW!!!!!

Probably the best conditions of the weekend and the snow lost its wetness! Me and lizzie did lots of photo taking as well as getting really fast on the skiis - but not as fast as Håkan again... :-(

Another loop and a snowman building competition to finish.

CONDITIONING 30:00 [1]

After each outing (and each shower). Ouch my legs hurt loads... and my back - but apparently we got respect for pain from the Swedes...

TRAVEL
Got up at 01.00 to get down to Stansted to go to Västerås on the 06.30 flight which arrived at 09.45. Got about 3 hours sleep and walked for miles around Västerås looking at shops with some slush on the ground then went for a walk around Djärkneberget in the rain! The river was pretty high and we took some quality photos in the rocks.
