XC skiing long 1:50:00 [1]
Drove up to near Stratton to join Alex, Greg and Ken for the final few hours of the 24h ski-adventure! They get major points for skiing so long (Ken took a nap or two, but Alex and Greg kept truckin all night!), and I'm a major wimp for showing up so late. =)
Conditions were still hard and fast at the beginning, but loosened up as we skied. However, about a half hour in, going up one of the bigger hills, I realized my ski was broken!!! It must have just broken then, from being flexed over the ruts in the trail left by snowmobiles... they're really old rock skis, so not too surprised. Slowed me down to 24h pace and level of clumsiness! Very disconcerting to feel the snow under your foot- a dramatic realization of how important camber is for skate skis!
Cornmeal pancakes + maple syrup at the end. Awesome! Thanks Ed.

XC skiing (skating) 1:39:00
Lovely spring skiing at Prospect!!
Skied around and around, did 4 x 4 min, 1 x 2min and 2 x 30s intervals. ~10 min no pole and ~10 min double pole too. An all-around workout for the near-final ski!!
Met up with Mom and Dad for lunch, glad they told me the skiing there was such good fun, had a blast!

Running 44:30
Run home from work with bag, then dropped it off and headed off to the little trail behind Amherst Observatory. Ended up on the bike path and followed it back, doing a few 30s pick ups on the way.

Running warm up/down 17:40 [1]
Over to the track and 2 laps warm up, a few strides.
Running race 10:20 [5] 3.0 km (3:27 / km)
3k time trial in wonderful sunlight! Used the outdoor UMass track.
Sanjay, Paul and Sergio joined me for the first 1k, Sergio kept with for the 2nd, then he dropped and Sanjay and Paul came back in for the final k. Felt pretty good and strong the whole way around, maybe starting to fade the second to last lap, but still had it to push in the last. Psyched to be under 10.30!

C • Nice! 13
Running warm up/down 19:00 [1]
Jogging a few laps with Sergio afterwards, then back to Lederle. Sanjay, Paul and Sergio did some more repeats, I was done. =)
Note
Just checked, and this is 8 sec faster than my run last year for Achilles at Franklin Field when we were racing Penn and Cornell. So I think that's a PR. Woo!

Running 17:15 [1]
Still really sore from the weekend, tried to go out for an Atkins run with Sanjay and Sergio, but was too sore, so just ran home after work instead. Will attempt the 3k time trial tomorrow though!
