XC skiing (Classic) 3:00:00 [2]
Les Saises
Went up from Lachat to Les Saises, then started on the 33k loop- it first went around the 10km race course from the Albertville Olympics, which had some very good terrain in it. Then kept going and going and going! I felt pretty strong classic skiing, which is good news for doing the Birkie in March!
Finished the 33k, then went up to the top of the mountain via the lift for lunch and an amazing view to the mountains all around.

XC skiing (classic) 25:00 [2]
Mostly downhill, from Les Saises back to Lachat to change skis.
XC skiing (Skating) 2:00:00 [1]
Whew. Already exhausted, but went back out for the afternoon on skate skis. Went and did the 10k race course again, which was tough, some big hills. Then did most of the black loop wish is around 20k. Then Frederique decided to race home from Les Saises to Lachat. Could barely keep up!!!

XC skiing (Skating) 2:00:00 [1]
Les Saises
Wahooo! Skiing!!! So exciting. Lotsa snow (had to use chains from the very bottom of the valley- we were going up in the remnants of the bad hurricane that hit Bordeaux really hard).
Was tough at the beginning because the trails weren't groomed at all, but then they groomed around 12.
Took a break for lunch, including some vin chaud which is apparently the equiavalent of hot cocoa for the French.. =)

Running 47:51 [1]
Girly club run! Jenn, Ruth, Lucy and I. No boys whatsoever. (Or they were all 3+ minutes late- too cold do wait around!)
Along river/canal/whatever it is in Port Meadow, then took a left on this dirt track before a gate (halfway to the abbey?) ended up on a road, took a left, ended up back in botley. It was nice, as road was all but empty and decent footing in the pitch dark!
So much fun getting to run with the club again!

Running 30:35 [2]
The old pre-circuits loop: north from work, then along marston ferry cycle path (panic! kids are annoying and all just got let out from school!), then up to hospital (2nd panic- police officers were stopping traffic at the bottom and top of hill, I have no clue why) back down and back on the marston cycle path at the end.
Running intervals 12:00 [4]
4 x 3 min intervals!
Oh yeah. Actually training!
Not full-out, but good effort. Leg still feels wierd and weak, but hopefully things like this will bring it back up to speed. Suppose it takes awhile though.

Running 30:50 [1]
Ran out to fetch my bike from the shop- breaks repaired! Which is good, as now I don't feel like I'm about to die each time I ride it. Then over to circuits, parked bike, and had time for a few loops around New College Sports ground in the dark. (Muddy muddy). Even did some drills. Things are feeling ok.
Strength (Circuits) 53:00 [1]
Actually timed it this week.
Normal stuff, and numbers @ end. Woo!
